Owethemnowt   10 #7 Posted January 12, 2017 Someone who will do a Trump!  Fly in the face of the establishment and concentrate on jobs and making Britain great again. It does sound good. The establishment, the same old same old, simply fails the majority who misguidely believe they are being elevated toa better position in society.  The fact is there is an elite that runs Britain: private schools [Eaton, Harrow, Winchester] specific universities [ Oxford, Cambridge, LSE ]and the old boys net work.  The North is excluded from that as it is in everything else; as is Scotland and Wales.  Change that and you would revive Britain.  But a Tory stands for the establishment so it takes a socialist or a green or lib dem [although they are traitorous to power] to achieve social justice for all.
