Privileged upbringings

[anotheoldgit]

There is no need to post the link that this passage came from, one can read similar in almost any newspaper.

/// Gordon Brown set the tone for a class war campaign yesterday by mentioning his 'ordinary middle-class background' while his Labour attack dogs launched spiteful attacks on David Cameron's privileged upbringing.///

The question I ask is, why are Labour constantly going on about 'privileged upbringings'?

Do they not also enjoy a privileged life style, and won't their off-springs also enjoy a 'privileged upbringing'?

<<<, I do not exercise my right to vote as I consider it my right not to vote for an establishment that are hell bent not only on social control, but what we do in our own privacy. >>>

So you don't vote for any change, but moan when there isn't any change.

Definition of insanity: Doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result.

If you don't vote, that is your right, but I don't know why you bother complaining.

I find it interesting this attack on Madelson on the basis that he is unelected.

In many countries like the US and France it is quite legal to appoint ministers/secretaries who have never been elected.

The strength of this is that it allows government to recruit the best person for the job without having to rely on the limited gene pool of the MPs in the commons.

There is a difference in someone who is a self-made millionaire and someone who has frankly never experienced having to get up and work for a living, just to make it through to next month, like Cameron and Osbourne and Boris and the other Tory blue bloods.

How can they look the population in the eye and say yes we know how tough it is? we've been there

Because they haven't have they?

No they haven't - and neither has Peter Mandelson.

There's a message for you here Jake:

And furthermore, I don't want someone whom no one elected talking either for me - or at me.

Sorry Jake. Ignore my message about a message - I understand you've seen it. :o)
