Will that comfort or worry Ed?

Why do people say stupid things like "champagne socialist" and "Bollinger Bolschevik ? By that token, all Tories should abstain from beer and such like. Besides, who actually still says that these days.? It's nearly 2015. Move on people. New terms are now in use.

It's quite simple really. It quite aptly describes someone who is a toff, and has no clue about the rest of us, who bangs on about socialist values. Generally they dont abide by what they say living a life of luxury whilst preaching to the rest of us socialism.

IE they live up to the labour mantra of do as I say not as I do.

TTT, if Kinnochio said that to me I be worried ... for my career as aUK politician.... and be exited about my forthcoming period of snout in the EU trough.

We have several champagne socialists on this site. They're the ones who are always advocating hard work for low wages. Strangely, though, only for other people.

Yes, on reflection I think you're right Gromit. The two things must have happened at about the same time and, as you say, Mr Hislop's involvement with both probably saw to that.

All the usual childish anti-Labour nonsense on here this morning I notice. I don't think that AB was around in May 1997 ( I might be wrong) but I wonder what all our right wingers would have been posting after Blair and the Labour Party had kicked Major and the Tory Party into near oblivion ?

Same goes for the morning after the Labour victories in 2001 and again in 2005 ?

Come, come, Mikey.

You must have noticed that the Tory politicians of that time and later also took a bit of a pounding. Remember the "grey" Mr Major pushing his peas around his plate whilst his wife Norman gave him a rollicking. And you must remember the ever increasingly insane Mrs T and the "rocker" Norman Tebbitt similarly lambasted.

That was Spitting Image NJ, and most people thought it was funny and entertaining. The scriptwriters were equally caustic towards all Parties. I remember the Two Davids with much affection !

But I was referring to debate here on AB, in my last comments. There is an element on here that just make childish comments, and they represent all views, not just the right wing, although the right wing are more numerous.

I like some fun as well as anybody else, but I wish we could raise the level of debate above the standards normally reserved for the walls in boys toilets sometimes !

'Ghastly' swivel eyed looney UKIP doesn't count then?

Everyone says that when it's directed at the party/politics they support, but seems quite happy with it otherwise.

@mikey

no one is forcing you to stay...youre free to leave anytime and find somewhere else that you feel is of a sufficiently high intellectual standard to suit your self perceived level of intelligence....

[mikey4444]

Oh I'm not going anywhere Baz!..... I intend to stay here and be a thorn in your side, and all the other right-wingers that form the majority here on AB, for a long time yet !

Oh good, I always look forward to your hysterical posts.
