Pot/kettle ?

[Canary42]

I wonder how many Tory folk who attack Labour MPs for using Private Schools (as appearing in a recent thread) have ever used the National Health Service, or drawn a State Pension (NHS and Welfare state strongly opposed by Tory Party in 1948 when Labour introduced them, and persistently undermined since). Quite a few I would imagine.

Oh dear why not go back a bit further Canary?

I'd guess the vast majority, having paid in through taxation.

[Prudie]

What a weak opener from you - one comes from tax we all pay and the other is a hypocrisy. No connection.

[ummmm]

They've paid for it.

[Theland]

I can't blame anybody doing the best for themselves and their families if they can afford it. Health, education.
The problem is most people can't.

[emmie]

the reason about the private schools is that the likes of
Diane Abbott spoke out against private education and yet sent her son to one.

whilst most people have paid into the system all that time

[emmie]

theland, nonsense

[Mamyalynne]

Is there any possibility of keeping CB clear of Political argy bargy?

If it isn't News, there is both a Politics and a Current Affairs topic.

People should prioritise holidays abroad are not needed neither are expensive cars.
I paid for my health care and drive a twenty year old car if I can do it so can others

[ummmm]

No hope, Mams, and it's becoming tiresome.

Play ground nonsense!! He said, she said, my dad is bigger than yours, you stink.

[shoota]

Yes, but what are you all having for tea?

[Rockrose]

No you stink!

[ummmm]

Not as bad as you, RR :-)

[ummmm]

Shoota...it's DINNER...I thought we'd established that years ago!! Tea is a drink you give to people who are stressed!!

[Rockrose]

Yeah but you’re short

[shoota]

Dinner is something you (I) take a lady out to wearing posh kit and having washed behind my ears.
Tea is chili-con-carne and rice on a weekday eve...

[ummmm]

I'm not short!! Mamy is shorter :-)

No...shoota...breakfast, lunch, dinner...anything inbetween is snacks.
