You stick with the Tories on the back of a daft football analogy if you want, but I'm going to pass.

I never said I was sticking with the Tories and I wouldn't say my football analogy is daft.It illustrates that if something/someone is deemed terrible then it doesn't automatically follow that the alternative has to better and what a more relevant analogy to use considering that this is an RUFC Fans Forum!

We might all get two council houses though

We might all get two council houses though

A story instigated by a billionaire tax avoider, which has been investigated for wrong-doing more than would be usual (no laws or codes breached).

Akshata Murty avoids £20m in tax because of a loophole her CX/PM husband opted not to close, and the author of the Raynor 'story' took an untaxed £150m from his Belizean griefhole because of no greater reason than 'just because'.

This really typifies how our society think. Enamoured by the super wealthy, ignore/condone their ethical voids, and despise others who hurt the public coffers on a far less industrial scale, if at all.

Ethics should play a far greater part in how we select our governments. Sticking with any party (or being against the route to change) because of historic voting intentions seems insane - and more so having witnessed the utter contempt these Tories have displayed in the past few years.

I'm guessing that you prefer public school types?

Cameron - Eton
Osborne - St Pauls
Johnson - Eton
Kwarteng - Eton
Sunak - Winchester

It's worked out so well hasn't it? God forbid that a dress wearing Manc should get anywhere near power.

NB - I've left May out of it as she has a strong sense of duty and actually tried to minimise the damage caused by the Brexit vote.

Quite right, red or blue they all have their noses in the trough

Well I've never personally witnessed a more ramshackle collection of Tory politicians in my life attempting to campaign at a GE .

I've pretty much always disagreed with everything they've ever stood for but none the less they've always fought a good election campaign and something they've repeatedly excelled at .

Generally at election time they come together , bury their differences for a month or two and show a united front .

May's 2017 election campaign was a bit of an abomination but that was simply down to the overconfidence they had with Corbyn as their opponent .

They really haven't a clue this time , almost every day they manage to screw something up .

It's coming through loud and clear to the electorate they've given up , 6-0 down with half an hour still left to play .

Sunak has got to be the worst campaigning Tory PM in UK political history .

I do prefer the best educated politicians and the highest paid we can afford. Clearly you’d prefer a council house scrubber

What's your definition of educated ?

The question you ought to be asking is why you have to pay to be the 'best educated'.

Quite a few people in this country live in council houses and at a rough guess half of them will be female and I assume will fall within your 'scrubber' category. I think it's quite a good idea to have someone in government who understands how it is to be born without privilege. In fact, I think it's essential.

If you want to confuse 'Eton educated' with being fit to run the country that's ok. Just remember to tug your forelock when you see them.
