    "The Westminster elite?" Wow, you've swallowed Salmond's rhetoric hook, line and sinker.

    Salmond: The man who moans about Scotland lacking power, but would rather leave the UK than the EU.

    You know the saying: It's not difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grudge and a ray of sunshine.

    It's an elitist club. I haven't swallowed anyone's rhetoric, just look at who governs this country - a bunch of old etonians.

    Excellent Fran. Dibs as his agent (then I'll never let him leave Saints if he turns out great)

    If you let him go to Portsmouth you can consider yourself an outcast. ;)

    Watching the weather forecast on BBC, they show Portsmouth on the map, but not Southampton. What is going on ? - I`ve seen a lot of biased reporting from the BBC over the last few weeks, and they`re still at it !:steam:

    it was the same when Labour were in "power", the majority of politicians have been to public school, they don't represent "normal" people

    There's a very good reason for that that people like you consistently fail to recognise.

    I don't care what someone's wealth is, I'm concerned about how good they do their job. Working class PMs (like John Major, a Tory!) will understand and represent people more, but if you're from a rich school then you go to private schools and get a great education and go to the best universities.

    It's not what you know, it's who you know. Although these are obviously intelligent guys, they just don't live in the same world as us.

    Was Tony Benn "Old Labour" (Westminster Public School and Oxford)?

    Maybe we should have voted for William Hague (comprehensive school) when we had the chance?<whistle>

    Yes, as he was a socialist. That word is almost toxic in today's politics.
