Public Schoolboys Running The Country

[Theland]

Programme on later about Public Schoolboys, old Etonians, moving on snd up to eventually run the country.
I think this is a disgrace, and we would be better off having some real people in positions of power rather than the the inhabitants of, "Chinless Wonderland."
So what do you think?

[Mosaic]

I agree, but if people will not get of the sofa and get actively involved in politics, we are left with those 'born to rule'.....

[Sqad]

I am also keen to watch the programme as I am a fan of Andrew Neil.

Real people......Gordon Brown, Tony Blair....both Public School and not even English.

Yepp, give us Harold Wilson, Jim Callaghan, Edward Heath, John Major..........Grammar School boys who really knew how to run the country.

[Zeuhl]

Ouch!

[A1Mikey]

Agreed. I think Charlotte Church would make a good PM.

[ummmm]

Tony Blair not English?

[Sqad]

Zeuhl.....LOL....she didn´t suit my reply.

[Theland]

Don't you just love it when thery say, "We are all in this together!" Yeah, sure, let's all water the soup for the kids.

[DTCwordfan]

Some ABers are ex public school you know,.......

[boxtops]

No ummm, he's a Scot. Educated at Fettes College.

[DTCwordfan]

uummmmm he was educated at Fettes in Edinburgh.....

[ummmm]

I didn't know that...

[Sqad]

Theland...too bloody right....I don´t want my soup watered.

[Theland]

Yes, we ABers could do a better job. Me for P.M. (or the Queen!)

[jno]

Brown didn't go to a public school, Sqad. Neither did John Major. Don't know that it made either of them better politicians, though.

[Zeuhl]

His father was the well known kilt wearer - Lionel Blair

[mike11111]

Born in Edinburgh - his father was adopted by a Glaswegian couple - can't get much more Scottish than that.

[Theland]

Yeah! I wanna be the Queen!.

[Sqad]

ummmm..."no a loa people do" (That is my Michael Caine impersonation)
