The " Tory Toff " thing did not work against Boris so why should it work in favour of Tamsin ?

The Labour Party have no idea how much their own grass roots people have turned against them largely because of their hypocracy.

2008-05-07T21:11:00.000+01:00

Labour has never been a working class party as such - it's representatives have always been more like the political wing of the methodists.

So it is a little unfair to attack Tamsin for her class roots.

Though it is fair to point to the hereditary principle at work in the Labour party - the Benn's, Alexander's etc.

2008-05-07T21:06:00.000+01:00

If the Labour MP's - every single one of them - were truly committed to the cause of the Workers...then why are they virtually all happy to accept the never-ending inflation-busting pay rises and expenses paid for by the pittance taxes of the low paid and , quite honestly, a fair proportion of the 'Middle Classes' (aka the Milch Cows)???

Hypocricy/nepotism/corruption...they far outdo anything the dying days of major's government did... at least most of the fools then just bonked their secretaries...

Labour are the party of hypocricy, sleaze, self-gratification at the poor's expense and the selling-out of the last vestige's of this once-noble realm's strengths to the EU non-elected faceless Gruppenfuhrers.

The public should be allowed a vote as to who to assest strip in a tax raid without exemption! I can think of a few for the tumbrils...

I suppose that ugly freak andy 'id cards and eye shadow' burnham and gordon 'the rimmer' brown could be the ugly sisters.
these spastics don't get it, do they? I mean, who gives a fuck if two spastic socialists want to dress up in top hats.
I'm more concerned about alistair darling stealing food from poor people.
the two retards pictured are just bloodsucking clowns. infact these two cunts aren't even getting on the list.

No one called Tamsin is working class, especially with the middle name of Nepotismia.

2008-05-07T17:12:00.000+01:00

Speaking of putting on 'airs and graces'....

Tamsin's first name is actually "Moyra", but clearly she thinks that's too bland for someone of her class.

Reading a 2004 profile of Tamsin (and her mother) in The Times; she says this about the time her mother and father both lost their seats in the 70's:

"Of course, then there was another upheaval. Dad went back into general practice, while Mum found work in the film industry. It was all very glamorous. We'd go with her to Cannes and other film festivals, where we'd be fighting
for seats with Donald Sutherland"

Mmmm yes, I'm sure that will resonate with the masses struggling to find an extra 10% tax.

Well no-one's mentioned Emily & Hilary Benn; Peter Mandelson (Herbert Morrison's grandson); Hilary Armstrong (took on her father's seat in 1987)

For a party that doesn't believe in the hereditary principle - the Labour Party does seem to employ it an awful lot.

btw, Rich Jon,

Who says these two idiots come from a grotty working class background. Given the current membership of the Labour Party leadership they could equally be sons of privilege and toppers and tails could be their school uniform.

Whatever, one can always hope they got mistakenly beaten up by real working class types on their way home.

Ian_qt

But they can, in a backhanded sort of way, by pretending to make a virtue out of nepotism.

All Cameron's got to do is compliment Mr Brown on the fact his party is stealing another Tory policy.

The socilaists will never be able to use the nepotism charge again. At least not without much hilarity.

2008-05-07T11:28:00.000+01:00

If Labour are so much the party of the low paid and down trodden how on earth can they afford top hat and tails?

And it would be interesting to know who the two gentlemen in question are.

My experience of "young socialists" is that they are careerist ex-public school types or selective academies rather than horny handed sons of the council estates.

I'm sure an enterprising journalist would be able to find out.

2008-05-07T11:20:00.001+01:00

But did you hear the passers-by in the street in Crewe yesterday when Sky News were talking to them re David Cameron's visit? They didn't seem very impressed with Labour or their candidate, to put it mildly.

One chap said fiercely "I'm fed up with Labour, I want my country back"

Another lady said she had never voted Conservative in her life - but this time she was going to!

Neither of them looked like wealthy toffs, in case anyone was wondering.........

Despite NuLab trying to gloss over their appalling behaviour in canvassing before the late MP's funeral - I'm sure I'm not the only person to think (even) less of Tamsin Dunwoody that she could be bouncing round the streets of Crewe wearing a pink suit and a silly rosette trying to grab her mother's Parliamentary seat before her mother's body is hardly cold.

2008-05-07T11:20:00.000+01:00

Apparently Gary Elsby approached C&N about an interview, but they didn't even have the decency to reply. Since he has been a loyal hoofer (however misguided) and worked like stink in Stoke on Trent, one can only conclude they thought he was too much of a bleedin' oik and not nearly related enough to the aristos to be even considered for the job.

Why does Gary keep going back to them? Perhaps it is like Stockholm syndrome where the victim identifies with the captors.

2008-05-07T11:14:00.000+01:00

Maybe the handsome, bronzed young chap on the right might to his benefit join Arabella Weir in her hunger strike.

What the fuck do they know about politics, anyway? How old are they? Fifteen? Back to schoool boys before the community support officer comes along.

Let's see what garb they adopt in two years when NuLab are at the polls. Someone should gently explain to them the notion of stunts like this and the expression 'hostage to fortune'. (Mind you, a lot of Nulab politicians might attach the phrase to a lot of the bollocks they are spouting post election-hammering).

I going to take a guess that David Smith is arch housepricecrash.co.uk mentalist and enthusiastic gayer Bruno Powroznik. The long, repetitive, almost mechanical rant about how the economy is fundamentally sound is definitely one of his trademarks. The man is an epic bore, and quite likely mad, but I still got a chuckle out of seeing you get all steamed up.

2008-05-07T11:01:00.000+01:00

All these years they have had to abolish the House of Lords and private schools and private health and private pensions etc
They could get rid of huge numbers of non elected toffs at the Lords.. I think it was even a manifesto commitment..
Yet once in power they 'reformed' eg sold peerages and made money from it instead.

Labour love the idea of class war.. it excuses all their failures..
'We is just poor chimney sweeps who don't know not nuffink, or nohow, an never even learned to count more than our toes'

Its 2008 not 1908 you spanners.
If you served in WW1 when miners met squires for the first time ever you would be 108 years old now.

Are they really saying nothing has changed in all this time. Haven't they been in power a few times since the 1920's? What were they doing to abolish class privilege?
They weren't making themselves the new toffs were they Lord Kinnock? Lord Levy? LordAhmed? Lord Irvine or the other 214 current Labour Lords.
They weren't making themselves the new Rich were they.. Tony Blair and your 6 homes?
No, that would be really like a betrayal of their beliefs wouldn't it?
Let's ask Speaker Martin for clarification of what privilege is.

"They need to get the story straight re Eton, too. Either Dave is the product of the highest-calibre education this country can provide, and very well-schooled indeed; or he's a toff with no talent, in which case his supposed "privileges" are meaningless. Which is it?"

There are plenty of thick talentless toffs who were educated at Eton.

Errr. I don't often wear a standard tie with a white tie tails, and it's pretty traditional to go with a waistcoat, top button done up (are these school kids?!). Must admit though, the lilac is rather fetching if BHS won't sell you a properly starched shirt.
