    The question was probably 'Tell us a little a bit about your family life'

    Those kids probs see more of their nannies than they do their parents

    Rees Mogg still takes his out on the campaign trail <laugh>

    Makes me laugh when these people try and come across like normal humans, when they are actually ****ed up freaks who have nothing in common with ordinary people

    I just seen them there as a couple of normal people talking about their family life at home.

    They’re getting slagged off for being different… I think it’s sometimes the working class that are the problem. What are they doing wrong? Why slag them for having a different upbringing and living a different life?

    As we say, people can’t help what they’re born into. If they were poor, folk would get slated for laying into them.

    Looks like a May election is most likely.

    The Tories under Boris claimed they were going to improve social care after covid, by increasing NI. Now they are reducing NI with a long term aim of scraping it. Yeah it's just another tax that blends in with all the other taxes, but what is the plan now for social care funding, they say Labour have no plan. but what I'm seeing is a party that has a plan that changes with the wind, in short they plan to do fook all.

    Boris built a team of yes men around him, in typical Tory fashion, they turned on him as soon as the winds changed.

    Now there's nothing in place to run the ****ing country, according to reports, Cameron has turned the Foreign Office into his own personal kingdom, Sunak isn't strong enough to control him

    Its a mess, they're a disaster.

    Me and you have said before mate, if a party kicks out the prime minister, it should trigger a general election.

    That's the thing she's a pensioner now but back then probably in her prime.

    40th anniversary of the miners strikes today so I'm guessing probably a miner's wife and why she's done it.

    Pretty sure most Muslims, whatever their ethnic background, do give a ****.
    I suspect many Jews are very uncomfortable with what Israel is doing.
    And extremists aside, I’m certain the majority of the British public, who have no dog in the fight, are genuinely appalled by what they see happening.

    For the sake of balance, I suspect most people would agree Hamas are a bunch of murdering thugs. But is this the way to deal with them? The world is watching, and even the USA is starting to feel queasy.

    The working class aren’t the problem mate. Working people are your bread and butter. Bankers, oligarchs, toffs and Tory spivs are the ones who are robbing you. Jesus…

    That’s not the point I was making, though. I was talking about division in society between the classes. Why does that need to be there and why can’t it be healed?

    We hear that the elites look down on the working class and it’s a problem, so I’m just wondering why the working class looking down on the upper class isn’t a problem?

    A more egalitarian society would solve the problem. And the idea of hard pressed, hardworking people looking down on the toffs is absurd. In this country we have allowed the public school poshos to Lord it al over us for centuries.

    I’m not denying that, Archie. I’m also not suggesting that this is a working class issue. It is a two street but to say that working class people don’t look down on ‘toffs’ is naive, just look at this board and the way posters slag them, even using words like… ‘toffs’.

    I was debating whether there’s a way to bridge that so both sides could maybe show each other more respect, kindness and understanding.

    I sound like you, now, ffs.

    No, there isn't.

    People will always look down on those that have more.

    People who are entitled and have a better life, will always underestimate and judge those with less.

    The gap here between upper classes and lower classes is much less, but despite this, they still dislike one another. Lower earners still consider the wealthiest as bastards and thieves, the wealthiest still look down on the worse off as idiots and useless.

    Its human nature

    Put my numbers into the Guardian budget calculator and I’m better off now as long as I don’t use hospitals, trains or bins so will be voting Reform
