You just have to look at Bob The fireman, quaffing champers and eating caviar while preaching to his members about "solidarity".
Or Scargill in a legal battle with NUM over his "lifetime right" to live rent free in a £1.5m london apartment.
I despise almost all the current crop - politicians, union leaders, quangocrats etc. Professional scroungers, entitlement junkies (both sorts) and two-faced, serf-serving, career liars. I didn't think anyone could be worse than Brown, but Cameron and Osbourne are giving it a damned good try.
No one should be allowed to be an MP until they have done at least 10 years real work in a proper job, not as an activist or "researcher". And if you want to be health minister, you really should have worked as a doctor or nurse, if defence secretary you should be ex-services, business secretary should be a successful businessman etc.
I would like to nominate Ray Stafford for the next prime minister.
I would have to get a proper job for 10 years!
I hate the woman. I watched everyone round me struggle to live whilst her and her mates enjoyed fine wine!
Proper job for one year would be a start..

<memo to self> Croppie, freebies: nix, nada, njet, none, zilch, sweet fanny adams.
At least she was a character. That's a hell of a lot more than you can say for most of todays politicians.

I seem to remember paying 15-16% interest on my mortgage then.
But of course your mortgage was £150 a month when rents were £250 then LOL
Not far off but even that nearly bankrupt us,in fact if the wife hadn't been working we would definitely been out of te house after a few months.But of course your mortgage was £150 a month when rents were £250 then LOL
she never had a choice all her advisors forced that card on her she dithered like you wouldnt believe about the falklands
thats why labour didnt pursue forming a coalition with the liberals they knew the state we were inA lot like it is now after Blair and Brown destroyed the British economy.
In all honesty I wish that Labour had won the last election, it would then have been their task to dig us out of the mire of their making.
And no-one else to blame.
After she was kicked out by her own party we had Blair and Brown copying her policies.

Hi Colin
we are all entitled to an opinion, but I couldn't let this pass, because it simply isn't true. Here are the figures, courtesy of the Office for National Statistics for median household income, adjusted for inflation. By using a median (rather than mean) it can't be affected by the rich getting richer. It shows a quite clear increase in household income across the period.

Now compare that to inflation.

Already adjusted for inflation Zeb
Quoting figures and percentages is a typical Tory response. The facts are despite what figures you produce, unemployment peaked at 3 million, her policies decimated whole towns, cities and destroyed communities while the rich fat cats got richer. She was a ruthless despot that wouldn't listen to anyone.
There was actually a celebration in George Square last night, such is the legacy she left.

Yep. Only Boris Johnson left who you could call a real character. And I can't make my mind up whether he's a genius or an idiot. I suspect its a bit of both.
Extremely clever and quite funny but IMO not a good politician; not a bad one just not good enough to run the country.
