Apparently ‘our’ chancellor’s family is SO rich they knock Mrs Queen off the top slot!

Obviously the right man to be telling impoverished fellow-citizens how to handle their pennies.

Emmie, best to ignore the loony left.

[emmie]

no they don;t get off scott free danny. they seem to think no one should be wealthy, that somehow we should all be the same, well were not, some have money including those on the left, some don't. Barking mad thinking

[gulliver1]

Allen@ 10.10 I am quite surprised at the 22 answers on this thread by the same person, in support of the Chancellor. When he has just proposed capping and cutting Benefit payments.

[emmie]

allen, you have made your money however that was, don't begrudge others to do the same, i defend sunak only because its' not his wealth but his father in laws.

[drmorgans]

I am not sure that Sunak "runs our country". In fact, I think few national governments are in control. The world is run by a few very powerful (generally American) multi-national businesses. Also does Sunak being a millionaire have any relevance? Our political elite generally went to public school and a "top" university. Corbyn is an exception as he didn't finish Poly.

[emmie]

is sunak a millionaire, or just his Father in law, and if he were aren;t others on the left entitled to their millions.

[emmie]

wealth and class envy is what kills this country

[allenlondon]

drmorgans. Precisely so. My 'running this country' was just shorthand for the current lot who happen to be nominally in charge of world capitalism in this particular backwater...

But it amuses me to point out to all these dopey voters what they are actually voting FOR.

[emmie]

dopey voters you don't think much of your fellow men do you

[allenlondon]

Fortunately, emmie, I don't think the half-dozen or so specimens of my fellow man who infest these columns are actually very representative of anything, apart from themselves and their loony-tunes.

The few who talk sense are a different matter...

[emmie]

one man's opinion. not much is it

[emmie]

danny is probably right,

[allenlondon]

I'm sorry you seem to have no-one to talk to, Emmie.

Will I do?

[emmie]

not really allen

[emmie]

and Danny has better things to do presumably

[naomi24]

DrMorgans, Corbyn was raised in a large country house and he attended fee-paying schools. He didn't, however, go on to university probably because having attained only two E-grade A-Levels, he wasn't terribly bright. Like Allen, I too wonder if people know what they're voting for.

[gulliver1]

Labour took a million Kids out of poverty , Conservatives reversed it . Thats the Cons for you .

[emmie]

where is your proof, Labour kills this country economically every time its been in power.

[emmie]

i dare say you would prefer to have Labour in charge, just what would SKS have done differently i wonder.

[gulliver1]

10.53 " I too wonder if people really know what they are voting for" Ask the Brexiteers that next year.
