Boris gets it even if the other old white farts don't.

He's desperately hoping the geriatric Conservative members voting for the new leader aren't Stormzy fans.

Boris would make a great white rapper.

These young folks think Banksy and Stormzy are kewl with their trendy names.

Well they are merely walking in the footsteps of Cleggy and Foggy from last of the summer wine, who I'm sure are behind Brexit Boris to the core!

Spandau Ballet had a lot more members than I remember.

whats the word for a group of bullingdon boys, got it

cooooooonts

Boris has just got into RATM; "Back you, I won't do what you tell me"

Most, if not all, haven't done a proper days graft in their lives.

I think Zack De La Rocha had a paper round.

Nice, not heard of any others though.

Rees Mogg must have been taking his turn on the pig cadaver at the time.

So what did the Kentish landowner's lad achieve in his own right?

Ask and thou shalt receive mouse.

Thanks Aka. A big nob on the hight street then.

Nothing wrong with people benefiting from their parents success.

The point is they stop other more able and talented people from rising to positions and offices. Half the Army Officers are from Public Schools. How can that be right? How can it be right that so many from Public Schools go to Oxbridge and so many talented State School children don't?

The point is they use their influence to keep others down and hold them back. Was a time when University education was free so talent could rise. They claim there is no money to pay for it. There is plenty! They make the tax laws so they don't have to pay their fair share or get back hander's from the large Corporate's to make laws that allow these blood suckers to avoid paying their fair share.

Privilege blocks good people rising to the top and stunts our society making us all the poorer for it.

WD the biggest thing holding most of these people back is laziness.
Take from the rich to give to the poor sounds grand but the reality is we have too many happy to live on handouts and not graft for themselves.

High earners maybe paying a larger percentage of total income tax because they have the power to influence the law makers. They exploit us and when things went wrong we had to bail them out!

How many ordinary working people get to go to lunch with the Inland revenue to tell them how much tax they have decided to pay out of the goodness of their hearts?

How ordinary working people go into Number 10 via the back door to discuss the laws that effect their business?

How many people get Government Grants paid by us the tax payer to plant trees in their gardens?

When slavery was abolished why did slave owners get huge amounts of cash from their friends in Government?

When diesel engine cars were penalised as polluters did the ordinary people who bought them get compensated?

You say there is no money?

I say there is plenty and it is all around us and plenty of it is not declared and in offshore schemes. Let them pay their fair share then we shall see where the money is!

It's not posh people's fault if stupid cacksuckers defend them when they steal off us either!

BTW that Sebastion James character is a real grafter. Good on him, could have settled for the easy life.

Akabula

I am not saying take from the rich to give to the poor! I am just saying the rich should pay their fair share and not make laws that allows the rest of us to be exploited.

Further to that why are we handing out?

Something like a quarter of BHS staff were on income support, why? Why were tax payers subsidisng this business?

Income Support should not be used to subsidise low wages. Housing benefit should not be used by certain employers and employees to play the system and screw the tax payer.

I do not understand why people get given a house and money for getting up the duff. Why are people paid money when they dont want to work? That si wrong too and it has to stop!

The Welfare State is there to give people a helping hand when needed not a lifestyle choice.

I don't disagree that some people/companies could pay more and that the real needy people could benefit more if they did.
But the exact same argument could be made for those milking the benefits system, they also need to be weeded out.

Not could be made, they do and they are as much parasites as those who milk the system from the top.

A pox be upon both their houses!
