    You get the odd bad apple in any system mate - no need to hold that up as a reason to excuse the reason why they exist.

    No pun intended etc.

    This is something I agree and disagree with. Where I grew up we had the state school and private school opposite sides of the road. We were all mates. Actually at least 50% of the public school students were from normal average family background who's parents/grandparents had saved really hard to send their children there. The public school was obviously a better choice with better facilities and pulling better grades.

    I don't think these people should be charged VAT, but for the super rich - absolutely.

    I wonder how many figures salary Jeremy Corbyn has earned at the taxpayers expense.

    Obviously in the £25k p/a bracket.

    He's one of the people, for the people. And I bet he lives in a council house.

    It is disappointing yes, lowest number of crypto-fascist candidates since Alan B'stard was our MP.

    I was amazed at my kids school, how many parents/grandparents gave up everything to be able to put their kids through the school.

    Obviously most of the kids were there because their parents had a few quid, but there were a significant amount of kids who were from families that nobody would consider rich.

    Typical Labour MP
    Bashes rich people - is rich.
    Bashes elitism - went to a fee paying school
    Bashes tax avoidance - fiddled expenses
    Bashes private or grammar schools - sends their kids there.
    Won't have a bad word said about immigration - lives in some mansion in the countryside.
    Portrays tolerance and holier than thou morally superior attitude - is verbally and violently militant to non-labour people
    Promotes tolerance - but not toward jewish people
    Promotes peace and anti-war ideology - Iraq

    This is nonsense Walter! For every one that fulfills even half these criteria I'd bet there are at least 40 others who don't. I bet that would go for conservative MP's aswell.

    You know nothing about me.

    And if you make things personal again, you're out of here.

    I've just seen the fail are running a Tory tactical voting scheme <laugh><laugh><laugh>

    Is it just me, or does tactical voting come across as taking the piss out of democracy?

    I don't like politicians. Any of them, from any party. This clouds my judgement somewhat.

    I'm just voting for Bob anyway.

    Shame is, those bad eggs generally get to keep their careers, and have a good one to. All at the expense of the taxpayer.

    I don't think politicians believe half the nonsense they come out with, is their job. That's all. And a ****ing well paid job at that.

    I like your unique twist: "neverending money tree" instead of "magic money tree".

    Very smart.

    You should send it to Theresa. She might like it.
