Perhaps they should look at their own ranks of head-nodding sound bites before accusing the Tories of being the party of the 'privileged'.<br /><br />There are many people in the Labour party who enjoyed a private education, who are well off to extremely well off, who send their children to private schools etc.<br /><br />This attempt by Brown to portray the Tories in terms of 'an upstairs downstairs' world is an insult to the voters. <br /><br />Voters of all political choice aspire to improve their lot.<br /><br />This is typical of the spiteful gutter politics we have seen proliferate under the influence of Campbell and Mandelson.<br /><br />These guys should grow up and concentrate on the real issues.<br /><br />Let's face it, Labour have loved surrounding themselves with the rich and famous. It's more than a bit f*****g rich to now claim that they are the party of the downtrodden masses.<br /><br />I don't recall Mr Brown holidaying in Blackpool when he was the Chancellor. Every summer he went to the uber sophisticated east coast of New England<br />to rub shoulders with the bien pensant rich and famous of the Democrats.<br /><br />The mess the country is in is a direct result of the catastrophic incompetence of Blair n' Brown. Do we ever hear Brown admit he inherited a growing economy from Ken Clark? Of course not. <br /><br />He is a mean spirited man who has wrecked the economy. Talk of 'Class' only reduces his stock further, if that is possible.PIENOMICShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846925617061061673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-76588198673666687252009-12-22T18:22:16.766+00:002009-12-22T18:22:16.766+00:00How about this for an opposition slogan then...

...@bingu<br /><br /><br />I don't think Fettes was that good!<br /><br />Meanwhile, I expect some attacks from Iain over the truly dismal economic news today.<br /><br />Class, and what I believe to be the the Tory will to promote the interests of the rich, is an issue.<br /><br />But right now, I wonder.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Michael Gove, despite his (over?) posh accent performatively contradicts how people like me think.
