General Election 4th July ...

Their bible was written, in yellow crayon, by someone not allowed to have anything sharp in their possession

 

I might be in the minority here but I expect my mp to be honest,upstanding and sincere and not on the Westminster gray train just take your generous salary and do your job like a certain Dennis Skinner ALWAYS did

 

Where is this from? I've googled the text and get no results

 

Can’t remember marra was either sky or BBC link

 

I with you on that one

 

OK I'll take it with a pinch of salt then

 

Aye what a man Skinner was, never accepted anything but his salary

 

A real peoples person, I loved listening to him

 

Legend marra,my trouble is I compare EVERY mp to this true working class hero

 

He was a real character who had character ...

... unlike Boris who tries way too hard to be a character but has no character of any substance.

 

Non of the so called political journalists took him on because he had no skeletons in the cupboard,Dimbleby and Maitles tried but he humiliated them

 

I was only in his presence once but can't claim to have met him ...

... I did spend time with Tony Benn, through a previous boss, and they were very different peas in the same pod imo.

 

Never get tired of watching this,brilliant

 

Difference i see marra is Skinner came from working class coal mining stock compared to Benn’s privileged upbringing

 

Which means Benn had more to lose and made the bigger sacrifice ...

 

Beg to differ mate,easy sacrifices

 

Big fan of Bridget. But she was absolutely shocking on question time tonight. Totally unprepared. Education question on university totally tanked.

Not surprised the audience were getting annoyed.

 

OK, differ away ...
