Oh I don't know I mean look at this picture of 'little Willie' at 16   Now what says a misspent youth more than wearing your Grandfather's suit with Maggi Thatcher looking admiringly along at you? I mean it's just an iconic picture that should've been hung on teenager's bedroom walls everywhere as an enduring  symbol of disaffected and alienated youth everywhere, alongside photos of James Dean, Morrissey, or even the Clash  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Anna B   1,365 #2440 Posted September 4, 2021 I read somewhere that Jimmy Savile used to spend every Christmas with Margaret Thatcher. But then she's the one who knighted Cyril Smith so not the best judge of character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Politicians come from many walks of life and have to be voted in (or out) by the public.  We were talking about the upper echelons of the civil service: the manipulators, the fixers, the movers and shakers, power behind the thrones. Powerful but unelected and unaccountable men in grey suits who pull the strings of government. Some get on better with grey suits than others.

Yes, like minded Conservatives probably, but it's the Establishment that rule the roost. And they're unelected Toffs to a man. They have their own agenda irrespective of what the public need, and that's to keep all the power in their own hands at all costs. Another reason why democracy in this country is a sham.

I reckon that it all derives from which University they attended, there’s  plenty of uni educated reds around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
