Posh Boys in trouble?

[kernelbogey]

Cardinal Keith O’Brien today criticises Cameron of behaving immorally.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-17878806

And in an article by Andrew Rawnsley in today's Observer

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/apr/28/andrew-rawnsley-cameron-osborne-poshness

he contends that Nadine Dorries’s quip about 'Posh boys who don’t know the price of milk' is gaining currency in Westminster, even among Tory backbenchers.

I think this jibe of being out-of-touch, and also demonstrably incompetent, could stick, given the number of faux pas and downright scandals affecting the government - not to mention the now double-dip recession calling into question their economic policy.

Specifically, an 'immoral' tax stance. The point being that tax changes are not doing enough to help the poor while protecting the rich. More specifically, in not defending the standard of living of those worst off while refusing to make tax changes which may affect the rich, but wouldn't affect their standard of living at all: they will still be very rich. Can that be right?

Interesting 15 minute snapshot Jeremy Hunt on R4http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...e_Jeremy_Hunt/ with Michael Gove praising him as a much loved brother....and anybody to do with Arts and Heritage and Civil service saying basically>>>> clever little two faced , forked tongued , self interested */^**¬]*....

..Can that be right?

they are Tories - did you honestly expect anything else ? recall that the electorate post war still had memories of their behaviour in the depression of the 30's and dumped them - maybe in 2015 it is possible to see a repeat of this tho I strongly suspect a bitter north-south divide by then.

two arrogant posh boys who don't know the price of milk… two arrogant posh boys who show no remorse, no contrition and no passion to want to understand the lives of others – and that is their real crime".

that repetition is good innit

What about asking Mr Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister

My question was really aimed at Mr Pee in view of his response .

I don't really have expectations of anyone - it leads to disappointment .

Eggsqueues me, 'they' are not Tories, 'they' are a Coalition of Tories and Lib Dems. Has Dr Cable gone off to be a water colourist? We have heard the voice of Tory dissent - who speaks for the LibDems?

(please miss can I use very offensive language ?)

who speaks for the LibDems?

They are merely Tories in a rather flimsy disguise now ....... shame on them and lets hope they get completely slaughtered in the elections this week ......
