So how many faces does "two jags" have ?
15 Answers
Our good 'working class hero' Two jags, and many pies, has taken the jkings shilling and become a lord.
On one hand I admire someone who from a ships steward drags himself up to the house of Lords. However I totally and utterly despise someone who spends his whole life slagging off an institution only to join them.
OK this is typical of a socialist. Do as I say not as I do and s*d you all I have made it but is anyone else sickend by this hypocracy ?

I'm sure he only took the ermine to please his wife.
Just for a handful of silver he left us,
Just for a riband to stick in his coat –
Found the one gift of which fortune bereft us,
Lost all the others she lets us devote;
They, with the gold to give, doled him out silver,
So much was theirs who so little allowed:
How all our copper had gone for his service!
Rags – were they purple, his heart had been proud!
We that had loved him so, followed him, honoured him,
Lived in his mild and magnificent eye,
Learned his great language, caught his clear accents,
Made him our pattern to live and to die!
Shakespeare was of us, Milton was for us,
Burns, Shelley, were with us – they watch from their graves!
He alone breaks from the van and the freemen,
– He alone sinks to the rear and the slaves!

Standard lefty behaviour, basically all lefties think wealth creation is a sin but actually want to get rich themselves by taxing the poor. See the Soviet Union for that standard attitude of your hard line lefty, ie Comunism is a wonderful system but only for the plebs. Prescott is merely acting true to type. When he was a young MP he probably wanted to abolish the Lords now he's one of them.

AV - anger issues ? Surely this is a good debatable point, I cant see much anger here simply a different view to you I suspect ?
Whilst the likes of R1 and myself openly advocate capitalism the lieks of you and Two jags promote socialism only to turn face at the first opportunity. Why is that ?
rom your posts i assume you are a good lefty. Nothing wrong with that and I woudl appreciate your constructive views on the turncoart Prescott.

but AV, surely it does. He is a prime advocate of Socialism, which you also seem to be. Surely if someone like him acts like this it is a terrible indicment of your beliefs and only proves that people like R1, baz and myself are correct. (Not too sure of the chice of words Baz but yep, get your point 100%)
Two jags is not the only one, another stunning example is Blair. Pocketed millions of the back of Socialism.
And, just out of interet, when was this site dedicated to questions only affecting a persons daily life ? (Althoguh I would assert that long term it may well)
