A gang of old Etonians??

Technically, I doubt they are a 'gang'.

Nor flock, or herd, or shoal.

How about :-
- clan
- gaggle
- brotherhood (my personal fave this, fits in with the mason theme)

Gordan Brown must rank as one of the most unpopular Prime Ministers of all time.

What annoys me is that we never had a chance to approve of him at the ballot box!

All I've known him do is raid my pocket, and what I'll never ever forgive him for is raiding my pension fund, to pay for a bloated civil service.

Gordo is king of the stealth taxes. No wonder we all need an army of accountants to steer our way around them.

Big Al Darling seems a decent enough type, but his days are numbered if Labour get back in anyway. I just hope he can find work on the next Thunderbirds movie.

Ooh, I've thought of another question:


"What might be a better election option than a party whose only clearly stated manifesto commitment so far is a repeal of the hunting ban and whose leaders have stated publicly that they would have allowed the banking system to collapse, together with your current and deposit accounts..?"

This is fun.

If you consider the hunting ban to be important then you are out of touch with what the general public cares about.

Are the banks fixed? They seem heavily dependent on us as taxpayers for funding. There is a black hole in the future that we are drifting towards.

Two for you. Now this is fun?

Why does the labour party give out important budget details in the form of press releases? Rather than announce them on the television , live. Deceitful is an apt word.

Why does the Chancellor of the day announce important budget details months even years ahead of when they take effect? Is this in the hope that no one will notice?

Double-standards, as usual.

Grown ups, unlike your good self, usually take the view that the experience of one's formative years often colours one's perceptions of matters in later life.

You can go back to the Raj situation of the Thatcher years if you want, with a cabinet stuffed with Sir This and Lord That and nobody but nobody therein having the remotest of intentions of ever using the state systems of which they themselves were in charge, but don't expect me to follow you...

I will take advice and not argue with a Leftie....however I was just thinking of all the normal everyday, nice 'n' cuddly Socialists in the current Cabinet; Lord 'sleaze' Mandelson (Grammar school - (shock horror) Oxford University), Lord Adonis (Kingham High School (fee paying of course) - Oxford University), Lord Drayson - St Dunstan's college - fee paying (of course), Baroness Scotland, Baroness Royal (Forest of Dean Grammar school), and of course I have to mention dear Harriet H - St Pauls Girls School - fee paying - but of course.

So, you're right, we don't want a Cabinet stuffed with Lord this and Baroness that and public school 'out of touch' people - that just wouldn't do.

Baroness Ashton? Glenys Kinnock got some gong to come back from Euroland to do something or other for the Socialists.

That Trade unionist thug Martin is now Lord Martin of Scab and Intimidation.

I bet when Mandleson meets the TUC or Labour Party leadership and greet him as

"Welcome Brother Mandleson" or "Welcome Comrade Mandleson"

He replies "Acutally I prefer "Welcome Lord Mandleson to you"."

Question:

"In the forthcoming era of austerity, what would be better than electing a gang of old Etonians who have zero sympatico with the lives of ordinary people and whose idea of 'we're all in this together' includes welcoming on board rich, non-dom liars who deprive the NHS and education of hundreds of millions in tax avoidance?"

There you go, Camertoff. Answering your riddles is hardly the stuff of rocket science.

Crikey, I see Labour's astroturfing unit has run out of humans and is using chimps.
