The Marquis de Leech Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I'm not sure about Del Boy voting Labour ethierLooking at the breakdown, there's a direct correlation between age and thinking Del Boy's a Tory: the 18-24 age group thinks he votes Labour by a margin of 62%-9%, a margin that steadily decreases until you hit the over 60s, where the margin is just 39%-33%.

mormont Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Who knew our Chancellor was such an innocent in the ways of the world?Apparently Mr Osborne is 'shocked' - shocked! - to discover that some of his fellow millionaires avoid tax. Gasp, faint, etc. You might previously have imagined that this sort of thing might have come up a time or two in conversation, or that Mr Osborne's own accountant might have mentioned it. But no, apparently George had no idea this sort of thing went on. I'm sure he's totally sincere about bringing it to an end. *firm nod* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talleyrand Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 What a knob. "Class warrior" my arse, he's just a rich kid looking for attention.I have to agree and from a quick look at the article I need to ask something. What the fuck is "contemporary urbanism"?

paddington Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 "The transnational-corpo-aristocratic ruling class (invisible)" I only got that far. So I've no idea contemporay urbanism is, probably something that writer belives makes him look smarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hereward Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 What do we teach them in schools nowadays? Incomprehensible maths, I believe. What was wrong with learning your times tables by rote and then never ever having to worry about the subject again once you'd squeeked through passed your O Level?

Lummel Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 What do we teach them in schools nowadays?'Tax Planning'. If you haven't set up a trust fund in the british virgin islands by the time you are in the lower sixth that channels the earnings of cigarette sales to first years and prep schoolers to a charity that employs you on an occasional basis as a consultant then you are never going to make headway among the young conservatives.

Lummel Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Heh, define normal. The ability of elected mayors to even be evil is pretty limited although the guy who won Doncaster made a good stab at it by stopping the provision of information in Braille to those who needed it.
