Socialism is easy when you're rich

The whole thrust of Milliband's nasty 'Tory toff' campaign ( a war cry enthusiastically parroted upon by some of the weaker minded here) is a hollow sham.

For all his boasts that he attended a comprehensive school, Milliband went to one of the posh showpiece comprehensives, his father was a millionaire academic and he was raised in that noted sink of depravity and deprivation, Hampstead.

By all means slam the Tories for being the party of privilege - but it would sound just a shade more convincing, and less like a cheap, hypocritical, soundbite, from the lips of a miner or a farm worker.

Haverstock school

The proportion of students entitled to free school meals is well above average.

The proportion of children with special needs is well above average.

A quarter of pupils were refugees or asylum seekers.

(All available in the 2005 ofsted report).

The school has changed from when Miliband was there (1980's) but not by that much.

Have you ever lived in London ?

Not really that shocking is it. £12 million of turnover and £11 million expenses equals £1 million profit... As a businessman you will know that you get taxed on profit not turnover.

Most of which expenses are not declared though

You question me on what he'd done wrong. I don't get it.

Ha!

Absolutely classic.
