Try reading Martins' post again in bigger letters Spartacus.

Oh dear, I guess the pondlife comment hurt you. Caps fitting and all that.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Talking of caps, perhaps to emphasise the point (in your usual forensic and detailed manner :rotfl:) you forgot to post in all caps.

I read what Martin said. So what. Other people want to discuss it in this thread so will I. I wanted to counterbalance the utter cretinism of Robin Banks post. If you do not like it then you do not have to stay in this thread.

Personally I am glad you have done. You bring your usual lack of thought to the proceedings.

I've no idea what that means, but if you actually look at Cameron's cabinet there are only three Old Etonians in it, and like Labour 's cabinet there are a mix of people from different backgrounds. Don't let David Cameron's background make you think the whole shadow cabinet are toffs.

Let's do a simple comparison with George Osborne, who you obviously think is a 'toff' and Harriet Harman:

Osborne: Aristocratic connections
Harman: Aristocratic connections
Osborne: St. Paul's School
Harman: St. Paul's School for Girls

I can see the Labour propaganda machine works well on you.

There's a good point. Labour profess to be the party of the many not the party of the few like the Tories yet in government their deeds do not match their empty rhetoric. Labour is a party of toffs and under Labour inequality has increased dramatically. Hardly what you would expect of a party which wants to

Labour and its stooges are fighting a highly personalised and vitriolic battle. They are probably doing so as their policies do not stand up.

They have ruined the economy. The economy may have grown but at what cost. Brown ran a huge deficit even in the lean years. Over £30bn per year, PFI has been an unmitigated disaster, the huge cost overruns on IT projects at a colossal cost to us, the assault on our civil liberties, ID Cards and the illegal war on Iraq. All of this outweighs, for me, any good Labour did from 1997 to 2001. I voted for them before, I will not vote for them again.

Sadly the likes of Ninky and Rochdale simply want to point at the Tories and throw trie insults without getting into any rational discussion.

It is very sad.

I would ask him, why, when a lot of people want any reason to vote Tory, he is incapable of providing one. Why he is just so bad at being a politician. Why he doesn't hire some kind of PR guru to sharpen up his act, his message, his presentation. If apparently Cameron has not noticed, or doesn't feel he can say it, then someone should. This is being kind - I want to vote Tory, but I am having real difficulty with Osbourne.

The man is set to be the next Chancellor - the least he could do is spend half an hour with Max Clifford and ask how to present himself in a way more appealing to people. He just comes across as a slightly unpleasant idiot.

btw Osbourne - I am on your side!

I love your posts Mr Brown - didn't Norman Tebbit say some of the Tory candidates looked like they had stepped out a deodorant commercial. So perhaps George didn't attend the course.

Ah, but Gordon Brown was both young and good-looking, once.

A very, very long time ago. Back in the days when he had principles and adhered to them.

TBH Brown does more for me than Blair does....in the good looking stakes. I mean, not that he does anything, just in a ''your trapped in a room with brown/blair and there is only one way out....'' sort of thing.

I actually feel disappointed in brown though, it was exactly that I thought he'd bring some dignity nd gravitas back to the role that seemed to have become celebrity central, that mad me feel he was by far the lesser ''ill'' of two undesirable choices. I wanted him to do this.

Osbourne has a BA in History from Oxford, exactly the same same as me. He was in my year and was a total and utter nonentity - I can assure you he made no waves whatsoever.

You certainly don't come across as an Oxbridge type online. I had a mental picture of you boiling lentils and attending CND rallies whilst studying for your B.Ed somewhere less illustrious.

Martin,

I would suggest asking Osborne about what the Tories plans for regulation of the banking sector are to avoid a repetition of the financial meltdown we had.

I think something is already being down about that, albeit to late. No more self certs (lie to buy). Don't lend to people you wouldn't led a fiver of your own money too (poor credit history).

Perhaps they should also ask banks to return to no interest only mortgages unless there is a repayment vehicle held by the mortgage lender. These interest only mortgages are an accident waiting to happen.

They also need to stop the early discharges of personal bankruptcy ie instead of 6 months discharge, make it several years. Companies made bankrupt because of monies owed to them, could keep the 6 months but take away the loophole of hiding assets in wife's name.
