Lord Adonis
14 Answers
Lord Adonis, Labour Peer, has consistently called for a second referendum on Brexit, is a Europhile, and it is no wonder that he wants to keep us in the undemocratic EU, because he has never been elected to anything in his life, and now makes a good living from him, the few, having a place on the gravy train paid for by the many.

Hmmm.
The son of a Cypriot waiter, whose mother deserted the family when he was three, resulting in him being taken into care and placed in a council-run children's home, who still managed to get a place at Oxford (where he acieved a First Class Honours BA degree before going on to achieve both a Doctorate and a Fellowship). That reads like the start of a true 'rags to riches' story to me, which would seem to exemplify Labour's aspirations to create social mobility, rather than typifying an 'ermine clad parasite'.
Oh, BTW, he entered party politics when he was elected to Oxford City Council.

Democracy is about taking a count of different views, accepting what most think is right, and doing one's best, whether it was you choice or not to accept the decision and make it work. Trying to delay and/or thwart the decision has no place in democracy.
As for Adonis, don't know him nor how much snout he has or hasn't in the trough.

Had to Google him ( don't think that I'd ever heard of him ).
I thought Adonis was some sort of Greek statue thingy.
