 Posted: Mon Dec 07, 2009 9:24 am Post subject: David Cameron Wingeing about "Class War" From Labo |
 |
|
Posh Tory leader David Cameron is throwing his toys out of the pram because Gordon Brown commentated that the Tory polocies of giving tax breaks to the rich had been dreamed up on the playing fields of Eton.
Dvid Cameron accused Brown of "class warfare".
Not so.
Brown was just being factual.
And in fact it was David Camerons close Eton Chum, Michael White of the Guardian, who kept harping on about Tony Blair & Peter Mandelson being "Grammar School Boys".
In fact, he was wrong. Tony Blair went to a private school, but his father was orking class.
The fact Camerons' posh chum Michael white was driving home was that Blair & Mandelson were "Common", from working class stock, & as such had no place in the corridors of power.
Cameron & White still hold to this Elitist, snobbish view.
Scratch Camerons' modern sheen & you will see the Tory Party remains the Nasty Party which still believes political ower is only for the Elite who went to Eton & so on, not for the "lower classes" |

| Hey!! My hubby went to Slough Grammar. Anyway, DC wasn't complaining about Class war, he said, if that's all Labour can come up with, then bring it on, cos it's a war easily won. Where people went to school and who and what their parents do or did is of little importance to the future. It's transparent to me what Labour are up to. It won't work. |

Wherever they went to school, politicians just never learn, do they? Labour's inverted snobbery and huge class chip on its shoulder has never done it any good in the past. Personal attacks such as this remind one of the fatal "Yesterday's Men" campaign in 1970.
I liked the Telegraph's light-hearted take on the spat
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/6744087/Class-war-escalates-as-David-Cameron-sees-action-in-Afghanistan.html
including the observation that Alistair Darling refused to be drawn into it (or anything, come to that) on Andrew Marr's Sunday programme.
Can it be that Mr Darling’s heart is not really in the class war? On Wednesday, we shall discover whether the PBR was written on the playing fields of Loretto, but we rather suspect it may owe more to Kirkcaldy High School, where Mr Brown received such an elite education that he entered Edinburgh University at the age of 16.
Such an elite education that seems to have omitted the three Rs

Labour are not playing on class war.
David Cameron is. He is planning cuts in taxes to the super rich by slashing all spending on social services.
Cameron wants to slash spending on care for the elderly & the health service.
God help us all if that idiot gets in, especially if he teams up with Nick "Call Me nasty" Clegg.
Tony Blair represented the classless society.
David Cameron represents a resurgence of The Toffs.
Every single male in Camerons' shadow cabinet is an Eton old boy. Cameron claims it is because he wants only the best for government
So, in Camerons book only the tiny "elite" who went to Eton are capable
That says alot!
The club Cameron used to belong to had as its moto "Keep the peasants in their place!"
Just who is playinbg the class war? |

In what way did Tony Blair NOT represent the classless society?
By contrast, Cameron says that only Eton Boys are "good enough" for government, & he says his Tory Party will keep the "peasants" (anyone who didn't go to Eton) in their place!
Winston Churchill may have been a Tory & from a wealthy background, but he was a mench. He had the guts to lead the world in a war to defeat fascism.
Cameron is exactly the opposite. |

So, David Cameron will be getting into bed with the Taliban supporting Nick Clegg if there is a hung parliament?
Very reassuring! |

| Don't worry Clive, the only thing that will be hung after the next election, will be Gordon Brown's head, in shame, when the Conservative Government tells us what has really been going on over the last few years. |

Gordon Brown hasn't been the greatest PM, but he has done his job honestly.
Tony Blair will go down in history as the greatest PM in history alongside sir winston Churchill.
And Cameron must be worried. The polls are none too reasuring for the tories |

Tony Blair - one of the greatest Prime Ministers!  OMG!......he lied and cheated his way through his time in office. History will remember him as a grubby traitor.
There's only one poll that matters. |

Tony Blair a traitor?
That label would stick on Camerons' mate Nick Clegg & Jennifer Tongue. Barronness Tongue said after 9/11 that the "Americans had it comming".
Clegg favours Osama Bin laden |

Interesting. David Cameron & his posh Oxford pals used to trash venues, leaving the taxpayer to pick up the cost. Seems he hasn't changed at all.
Boris Johnson said that once in the Police cells, David Cameron was a "pathetic namby pamby".
Is Britain really going to elect someone with a criminal record as PM who considers anyone who did not attend Eton as a "peasant" who should be put in their place?
Cameron says the Burlington club was "part of my growing up" & that he's done "nothing to be ashamed of". |
Interesting that when it's toffee-nosed lager louts like the 'bullingdon club' that do this kind of thing it's just put down to 'high jinks' and 'let the young have their fling' but if it's someone who's working class they should be horse whipped and / or locked up, or worse!
No I'm not advocating loutish behaviour by anyone, just showing that class descrimination still exists. All louts should be publicly hugged by cameron! That will make them mend their ways. There's something he might be good at!

Talking of Winston Churchill.
He led the world in a heroic war against Nazism.
What would he make of david Cameron aligning his party with a Latvian party that celebrates Hitlers birthday & the Lithuanian Party which regards the Waffen SS & has a ceremony each year to "honor" them? |

Exactly. Shouldn't Cameron at least have had several ASB's handed out to him?
And he is still proud of such loutish behaviour?? |

David Cameron said "bring it on" because he believes the Eton Boys can win the class war against the peasants??
Fact is, regardless of what social position in society we may fit into now, most of us did NOT go to Eton!
But David Cameron thinks that anyone who did not go to eton is "inferior".
And this guy wants to be PM? A PM who regards most of the population with contempt because they are not Eton boys??
This is from his own mouth! |
