Public Schoolboys Running The Country

[Theland]

Programme on later about Public Schoolboys, old Etonians, moving on snd up to eventually run the country.
I think this is a disgrace, and we would be better off having some real people in positions of power rather than the the inhabitants of, "Chinless Wonderland."
So what do you think?

[boxtops]

have you got the grey wig, Theland? If not, I have.

[Theland]

I'm lacking a wig ...... and Sandringham

jno....I didnt say John Major was a Public Schoolboy.......read my post again.

You are correct....Gordon Brown went to a Grammar School (which sort of strengthens my point ;-)

But so did Margaret Thatcher, which sort of weakens it.

Theland

t<<<< Maggie had delusions of grandeur<<<

So do I and it is fantastic.............hop on and try it.....you would love it.

[Theland]

Why? Out of touch with reality, leads them to tighten OUR belts for the good of us AND them.

[Sqad]

Theland.

That seems eminently sensible....if i had plenty of dosh, do you think that I would worry about those layabouts, smelly, jobless getting benefits and sh@gging everything that moves.....urrrgh! horrid people.

Do you want me to cut down on my Havana Cigars, my Premier Grand Cru wines my Bentley, holidays abroad, top of the range Escort girls just to give the "wretched" a hand out.

You must be mad!!!!

[Theland]

[Sqad]

I got a mate who dropped out of school at 14.

'E's mostly been on the dole, except when 'e was in prison.

'E knows all about stuff cos 'e was at the School of 'Ard Knocks, and the University of Life.

I reckon as 'e should be Prime Minister, not those toffs whats 'ad all them lessons and fancy stuff.

What do they know about real people an' all that?

[Theland]

Yeah Joggerjayne, yer right there girl. Them fellers in their posh suits need a lesson in life. We need boiler suits, bib and braces, and trackies in the 'ouse of commons, and turn their Lordships place into a pub.Oh! it already is a pub!

[Theland]

Oh blimey! The Labour party is as bad as the Tory when it comes to priveleged leadership.
Maybe we get what we deserve. Not nice.

[joggerjayne]

Some schools teach leadership orientated soft skills.

Is that wrong.

I did a course on Government, many years ago and the tutor insisted that the country was run by the Civil Servants as they were always there although the government was always changing. We do not even know these invisible beings and the Government of the day is just a 'front' for them. He reckoned the outcome would be the same whatever the party was. I nearly put 'discuss' there as I found myself back in the past.
