From Humble Beginnings?

[sandyRoe]

When SKS mentioned once or twice that his papa was a toolmaker did he mean he was a factory hand or did he own thr factory ?

[Toorak]

He was a toolmaker

[sandyRoe]

He's done very well, then.

OP. sandyRoe. SKS Papa may have been a Toolmaker. But Stanley Johnson was a 😎Foolmaker😎.OK.

Don’t forget, he (Stanley) was also a wife-beater.

Anyway, what has what you have achieved got to do with your father – unless he happens to be fantastically wealthy and you were born with a silver spoon (as are most Tory ministers)?

depends, Hymie, some poor families struggle to get good education for their children.

Starmer's father owned the factory.

Any Tory having a privileged upbringing = bad.

 

SKS having a privileged upbringing = good.

Well he certainly produced a tool.

[ToraToraTora]

He did make one tool that no one knows what it's for.
