Other famous public schoolboys that have run this country since the war


Atlee

Blair


Actual working class PMs


Major



Female PMs


Thatcher


Our choice this election was for a bunch of upper class toffs or a bunch of Middle class Public Sector union member teachers if we want stereotypes


The class hatred stuff is even getting on my nerves now......It's actually a bit pathetic and shows that we as a country need to 'move on' as Jeremy Kyle might say

I don't think you could call Thatcher 'working class'


Her Dad owned two grocery shops - so he was an employer and investor, an absentee landlord, not a prole. A filthy capitalist opressing the downtrodden workers no less.


She went to a Girl's Grammar, to Somerville at Oxford, and was a trained barrister.


In fact, about as far from 'working class' as you can get without a title.


And Blair did a great job ;-)

First Comedienne to come out with a decent knob gag about a hung parliament should win a place in the cabinet.


Between the Wedgwood ashtray and the Royal Wedding commemorative plate.

I assure you that the good people a Royal Doulton did everything in their power to ensure that all points along the border of the plate are equidistant from its centre.


Its potential as a vessel for jus has never been tested. And alas it seems it will remain untested, being as it is now covered in a film of engrained dust originating from the early 1980s. Dust which no doubt* flaked off the skin of punk rock anarchist as they metamorphosed into smarmy yuppies over the earlier years of that bemulleted decade.



*Not to be confused with the Californian Ska band who found fame in the early 1990s because of their super hot singer.

Any Woman leader will instantly be compared with Thatcher such is the media and no party will want such a negative stereotype as it's figurehead when it is seeking election to government.

Brum, you are clearly not posh enough by a long way. What Dave actually said:


One feels able, on balance, to give a positive indication of how one is minded to respond when dealing with the enquiry as to whether or not one can, in fact, as it were, in the vernacular, ahem, "fix it".

    • It was a reactionary post and inappropriate when talking about a real case and a real person who was harmed.  London streets are generally pretty safe.  Sadly violent crime happens from time to time, as it always has.
    • Do tell, CPR Dave, what the spiteful jealous stuff is - I'm intrigued.  Agree - Burnham is a top class communicator (polar opposite of Starmer) he'd do a great job of uniting the party. I still think Wes Streeting has the edge, though I'm sure he has more enemies as well. 
    • This is a huge part of the problem.   Starmer is only interested in himself, not in what is best for our country.    There's a litany of stuff he's done for spiteful jealous personal reasons which has damaged the nation enormously. Burnham would be a much better leader than of the other dross left behind when Starmer goes. To inflict a worse leader (and PM) upon us for his own selfish reasons would add to the problems and be entirely in keeping with his woeful premiership so far.
    • I heard today there was a burglary in Lacon Road yesterday evening between 20.00 - 22.00,  apparently the owners were home at the time & thieves got away with electrical items along with the owners car!  Wtf!   Anyone heard anything else?
