British Indy: What Happens Now?

I've stil noticed you haven't answered the kier starmer question whilst you're trying to shift attention jiz

Oooo snp and lib dems just lost their court case on tv debates

 

Keep up. I replied in full several posts back.

 

From the morning star, hardly a tory paper and in it was a comment on the same sutton research from labours angela rayner and she said

Labour’s shadow education secretary Angela Rayner said: “For too long our top professions have been a closed club dominated by a wealthy and privileged elite who attended the same private schools.

“The old boys’ network and the old school tie still hold back talented and hard-working people from less privileged backgrounds.

Do you think when she was sitting on labours front bench as part of the shadow cabinet she said "Ere Kier, you went to oxbridge didn't ya?"

Of course not! Angela Rayner is reasonable would not discriminate against anyone on the basis oif their schooling.

She just reasonably would expect all social groups, educational backgrounds, minorities, gender to be treated evenly. Just like in the Labour party.

 

Unless they are tory of course

 

Some misunderstanding apparently. Not "Cambridge and Oxford" or "Oxbridge". It's Oxford. Just Oxford.

 

Then there's John Major.

 

Personally I thought we could have kept the analogies going for much longer, there would have been pages and pages of humour in that.

Next time Al....next time

 

I see Mr Starmer is wearing the 'I've trapped my scrotum in my zip' face again....

 

The only Elitist Uni in Scotland is St Andrews and there are not many Scots go there. Its attended by those that cant get into Oxford, Cambridge or Durham

 

According to that report only 10% of MPs did not go to university, so it’s not just the Tories.

 

Sorry, I feel like I’ve let you down.

To carry on the restaurant thing, the restaurant I have gone to doesn’t serve anything I like, so I’m going to Macdonalds.

 

Have you misunderstood completely?

We were discussing the 6.5% privately educated kids who grow up to be 45% of Tory MPs.
Seems a bit disproportionate?
Attending Eton gives you a further huge advantage in the Tory party

 

No, I was still talking about my point.

 

As does Cambridge/Oxford for the labour party, as Kier starmer who went to oxford or perhaps, even Diane Abbott who went to Grammar school first then Cambridge, obviously not for maths

 

My point is 90% of MP’s are uni educated.

do they need to be ?

Would it make a difference if a larger number were not, and perhaps had real experience of living on minimum wage etc etc

 

Yes

 

It is disproportionate, but even more so to me is 90% being uni educated

 

No

Yes it would make a significant difference and I would consider it likely an improvement.
