vikingTON Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 The near 55-45 split in the vote is delicious. They'll start fighting like starving rats in a sack after their routine shoeing in May. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't really figured that corruption rewards were dynastic, I thought maybe once Blair shuffles off (looking at recent photos of him, won't be long) that'd be the end of it but apparently not. Euan Blair, he's valued at 73Million. Which would probably impress a lot of new Labour voters! Can see him taking votes off the Tories in 20 years time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got admonished by a CLP chair for pointing out a few years back that a slumlord millionaire leading the Labour Party, especially under Corbyn, was an open goal for the SNP. 14 minutes ago, Stormzy said: And Corbyn.

Dawson Park Boy Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Here in Scotland, we seem to have a terrible inferiority complex. It seems to be that anyone who has done well in life has to be brought down to the lowest common denominator. Complete opposite in the US where success and wealth is respected. Surely, we should all be aspiring to send our kids to private school which, in most cases, are infinitely superior to the state system, especially in Scotland. Regards Sarwar, I was always a bit suspicious as to how his father was able to ditch UK politics and suddenly become a big cheese in Pakistan. Not a labour supporter but I think I’d be a bit put off by divided loyalties. Seems like a professional politician with not much in the way of beliefs. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think Sarwar and his dad are going to do? Sell Trident to the Pakistani military? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 4 minutes ago, NotThePars said: Didn't Corbyn's marriage end because he refused to send his wean to private school? It was a grammar school, I think. Blair also didn't use private schools, as far as I remember, but rather chose to send his kids to a "prestigious" Catholic state school several miles away from his home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANTAN Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 The word slumlord when being used hits me as one of those "what's not racist but feels racist" lines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANTAN Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Just now, Pato said: I mean Michelle Thomson was a slumlord too but point taken. Landlord. I'm not saying you shouldn't use it nor do I think you mean it in a racial way. I just can't imagine that word being used as an attack line for such reasons.

vikingTON Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Still laughing at the idea that a second world, failing state like the USA is the model that any society should be aspiring to - it's not 1910 any more. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think it's precisely not having an inferiority complex that means I don't see going to private school or sending your kids to private school as some kind of badge of honour. Anas Sarwar is rich because his dad is. What kind of achievement is that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
