    It's only the loony left and the chattering classes that are obsessed with people's backgrounds and class divisions.

    In the real world people are more concerned with what people are now.

    I believe that what you are generally concerned with is his commitment to high house prices and bumper handouts to pensioners.

    If posters want to discuss whether Mr Cameron stuck his penis in the mouth of a dead pig or not then perhaps there are other more suitable threads. I'm sure that there are several that smell faintly of ejaculate on the Guardian website for example...

    Oddly enough the Grauniad doesn't appear all that convinced about the pig thing. Its main report has the headline, Lord Ashcroft’s Cameron biography bears hallmarks of revenge job, whilst there is a piece by Simon Jenkins knocking Ashcroft, and a report on the Piers Gaveston club that basically says that nothing pig-related was ever a feature at the club.

    Besides the post-Corbyn line is that you are supposed to "talk about the issues" and "we don't do personal attacks", so any Labourite really needs to get on message.:)

    And yet it is Corbyn who wants even higher 'bumper handouts to pensioners'. An extra £22 bn has been mentioned.:)

    I am sure the Tory Right will be delighted to hear it.

    More economist jargon?
    If you think of it as 'us' verses 'them', then it's probably your side that are the villains.

    What's wrong with bumper handouts to Pensioners?

    Get back to work you lot!
    Union, not Disunion

    I have a Right Wing and a Left Wing.
    It's the only way to fly straight.

    But what do you think about it?

    P.S. I am 100% convinced that the Tory right, left, and centre would be even more delighted if Corbyn never had the chance to spend that extra £22 bn.:)

    yes, I am indeed concerned about the tory policies that stimulate the housing demand side and do little about supply

    we need more housing being built and all the help to buy schemes scrapped

    I don't think I've ever given a view about handouts to pensioners but I will agree that the christmas £10 bonus is ridiculous

    I continue to be concerned about your failure to be reconciled with the older members of your family : if there is any help I can give please do let me know.

    I believe in a hand up not a hand out.

    I will have a word with Jeremy about this.
