It wouldn't be at all difficult to rewrite this by substituting Gordon Brown for David Cameron.
how's that? i didn't think GB was a millionaire eton schoolboy with a wife from a titled family......Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves. - Lord Byron0 -
Why are so many of their shadow cabinet/MPs not privileged or members of the aristocracy then? Look beyond the figureheads.
Because that does not suit the class war driven narrative some are trying to apply to the election.
Indeed Labour has as many, if not more, from a well to do background on its front benches but that hardly matters.
They may be Toffs, they may be millionaires, they may be well off, but at least they are Marklv's toffs and that is all that matters."There's no such thing as Macra. Macra do not exist."

He is a poor actor and entitled to his view on politics however I would no sooner vote Labour on his advice as I would vote Tory on Tarby and Brucie's sayso.

the big difference though is that those from a well off background on the labour front benches are not proposes tax cuts to line their own pockets at the expense of the vast majority of the less well of members of the population.
the difference is that under labour the nhs has made massive improvements whilst under the tories it was crippled.Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves. - Lord Byron0 -

Irrelevant. Brown is a corpulent incompetent idiot who has nearly bankrupted the country and is purely driven by clinging on to power.
He was against electoral reform he is now for it, simply to save his skin.
He was against any alliance with the Lib Dems in 97 he is now for it, even tacitly telling Labour voters to vote Lib Dem (tough Brown, the vote has been well and truly squeezed in most of them).
Brown kept the housing market going at full pelt even when Blair raised concerns about it.
He ran a large deficit of over £30 billion a year even in the good years.
The next government will borrow as much as every British government from the norman conquest to date.
He inherited a stable and growing economy and blew it.
He is the most shallow and venal of people, it is not about a persons background, it is about their competence and suitability for the role. In a straight comparison between Cameron and Brown then Dave is miles ahead."There's no such thing as Macra. Macra do not exist."

Think about what you are writing, what a load of bull! You need to do some research before you shoot your mouth off. There are as many Labour cabinet members who are titled and went to public school than there are in the shadow cabinet.0 -

Neither are the Tories.the difference is that under labour the nhs has made massive improvements whilst under the tories it was crippled.
There is no doubt the NHS has improved under Labour but then given the vast amounts of money thrown at it then it should have improved.
It was not crippled under the Tories.
The Tories, even in the eighties, increased spending in real terms on the NHS."There's no such thing as Macra. Macra do not exist."

They may be toffs but at least they are Ninky's and marklv's toffs so that does not matter."There's no such thing as Macra. Macra do not exist."

Labour seem to realise they cannot win on their own.
Laura Kuenssberg - 2115: For Gordon Brown to raise the possibility of tactical voting - as he did today in a web interview - as early as week one of the campaign is very significant, the BBC’s chief political correspondent Laura Kuenssberg says. It raises the inevitable feeling that he doesn’t think Labour can win this thing on their own."There's no such thing as Macra. Macra do not exist."

No he's not .Decent people don't go chasing foxes till they are so exhausted they collapse and get ripped apart by hungry dogs.They don't try and shoot 2 deer at the same time.
Just remember when you vote for him and his cronies you are voting back in blood sports.Blood shed in agony.0
