""There is a sad risk that this self-interested infighting will hand the ruling of this country back to the Old Etonians, the self-serving sons of bitches with NO idea of the sufferings their get-rich-quick "ideals" cause................B Liar and his "New Labour" did huge harm, but at least they created an electable monolith, that no matter how bad was better than the Old Etonian party.""


Now where was it that Tony Blair was educated?

Ah yes!......The following monuments to socialist state education:- Durham Choristers School, Fettes College, Edinburgh; St John's College, Oxford

Harriet Harman.....St Paul's Girls school (an independent school) and York University

Alastair Darling.....Kirkaldy, The private Loretto School, Musselburgh, and Aberdeen University

Ed Balls......Nottingham High School (a fee paying public school), Keble College Oxford, and Harvard

That's just the ones I could be bothered to sort out. Very socialist lot.

I'm also sure that I could trawl the Tory party and find plenty of Grammar, and Comprehensive School pupils.

By the same token you could as easily reverse the process.

Which proves WHAT?.......Well nothing really, except how blinkered and one sided your view of people in the Tory Party has become.

Tory or Labour, they have all had a similar degree of education, and have achieved very similar prominence in public life.

If you believe that Eton still confers instant success, then you are living half a century in the past.

I don't see socialists as a bunch of ragged half starved serfs in clogs and flat caps, because I've moved on somewhat from the prejudices of the 1930s depression days.

I am a Tory who has worked damn hard for forty seven years, and done just about every dirty job in the book. I've come out the other end with NOTHING, largely thanks to Gordon Brown's theft of five billion pounds from our pension funds, so if you expect me to vote labour...well, you get the picture.

There are very large numbers of Tories who didn't get the silver spoon at birth, didn't go to Eton, Harrow, or Oxford University, and they still vote Tory. That should tell you something you didn't know about the Tories.....Like they may not be as bad as you would, in your red eyed hatred, wish them to be.

Labour has done me NO favours, but I don't slag off the party or its voters, just the one or two incompetents who have screwed this country into the ground in the last twelve years. I think you know who.
