I dont read his posts .....
Just as well - because he comprehensively dismantles your argument sentence by sentence. I've never seen anything quite like it. It was a polemic massacre. There were times when I had to look away.
I thought all three leaders were privately-educated millionaires...
Ed Miliband privately educated ? I think Ralph might have had something to say about that suggestion.
Ah, my bad, as the kids say. He did PPE at Oxford, though. What an interesting Wiki page.
I thought all three leaders were privately-educated millionaires, claiming between them to speak for most of the electorate. Except that UKIP cast a little doubt on that.
Farage was privately educated and is a millionaire...no degree though he went straight to work in the world of commodities trade, a real job if ever there was one.

Brilliant another laugh out loud moment for me there and of course it is the real reason I dont
Curiosity got the better of me he made some interesting points after his zombie maggot rant - WTF are they all about? It is not my view I am saying why he says and why he is a hypocrite so he somewhat missed the point.
Reading the Wiki page, it's as though all his life he's being groomed (in the old sense) to be a star of the Labour party, starting with a school hols job for Anthony Wedgewood Benn. How the other half lives, eh?
You should read CMD and nicks page as well then seeing as you have a new found lust for knowledge
None of the main political leaders [ including UKIP] had a life any thing liek what most of us would call normal
IIRC even Griffin went to private school and cambridge

Not by his father I wouldn't have thought. Parliamentary Socialism is arguably the most famous critique of the Labour Party.

[i] Stating that there is no distinction to be made between Labor’s political and industrial leaders, this study illustrates the party as it is now and has always been—one of modest social reform in a capitalist system within whose confines it is ever more firmly and by now irrevocably rooted.[/i]
Ralph was not a huge fan of the Labour Party.
One's enough for now, thanks. I'll bet none of them have ever clocked in.
(edit) That's the Lab shadow cabinet too.
I've just read 'Protest Vote, how politicians lost the plot' by Tim Newark. A lot of it is about current UKIP doings, but it covers Greens, BNP, and the Countryside Alliance too.
That's the Lab shadow cabinet too.
Are you just interesting in slagging one lot off ? If you hate them information is irrelevant
I suspect few politicians have had what you would consider a proper job and the majority of those that have will be in the labour party
I'll bet none of them have ever clocked in.(edit) That's the Lab shadow cabinet too.
Do people still clock on ? I had no idea. It shows how out of touch with reality working on building sites can leave you.
I'll explain. I recently became curious about the protest vote and tactical voting generally as I believe it's a significant change in politics happening now. I'm a natural Lib but Clegg selling the party's soul to Dave was the last straw for me. When younger I was a Labour voter. But mostly I've been busy with the usual work and family stuff. And riding.
That Wiki page was an eye-opener.
this 70's edifice of a gateway to the countryside is and has been populated by ex East Londoners guaranteed the life of green trees and open fields. They're died in the wool ex Londoners and Essex types that have seen first hand the influx and settlement of immigrants into lands they once lived in
You're about 25 years too late in dating the East End clearances. This "we all journeyed from the East End to the promised land of Essex" is an origin myth newer, but not much more historically accurate, than the Jews crossing the Red Sea.
"Into lands they once lived in"? Are you a student of Balkan politics with that rhetoric?
Front Nationale win the Euro polls in France, 25% of the popular vote 😯
The far left won the Euro polls in Greece with 26.5% of the vote.
The eurocrats in Brussels might well have built an EU immuned from the vulgarities of popular will, but I reckon their rubber stamp parliament might possibly cause them a few embarrassments.
Although probably not - EU parliamentary elections are designed not to cause any change. Which perhaps explains why some people vote in ways which they normally wouldn't, ie, they understand the charade that is EU "democracy".
