    Heard some of it on the radio.
    He's starting to try and explain something about himself in order to reach out to the voters.
    He really needs to convince all those lost labour voters he is the special one.
    If he cannot he's done for.

    Personally I don't care for him. He's never had a proper job and never lived outside his Westminster 'bubble'. A bit like the vast majority of politicians now.
    God help us all.

    the bit i heard was that his party loved the speech, but did the public, maybe if he talked to us rather then down to us he may get somewhere, sorry to say wont get my vote, infact nobody will

    Hmmm, how many times did he mention comprehensive school.?
    As if that's really makes a difference.

    Yes, his background is different, but his experience, thinking, and logic is just as insular and detached from society as ALL the politicians of any colour.

    What about Millipedes "tribute" to vile communist historian Hobsbawm

    He hated Britain and excused Stalin's genocide. But was hero of the BBC and the Guardian, was Eric Hobsbawm a TRAITOR too?

    • Historian defended the Soviet killing of millions in the name of Communism
    • When he was at Cambridge in the 1930s he knew Anthony Blunt, Guy Burgess and other Soviet agents, who were recruited by Marxists
    • Four years before his death said he wanted to see MI5 files on him to find out who had 'snitched on him'

    'Unrepentant communist' historian Eric Hobsbawm dies aged 95

    • Lifelong Communist inspired a generation of thinkers on the New Left
    • Critics say he was an apologist for the excesses of Stalinism
    • Tony Blair pays tribute to 'giant of progressive politics history'

    I'm' sure it was Paul McCartney who said his dad always voted for a communist candidate as a union rep because they always got the best deal for the workers

    I've had an above inflation pay rise every year for the last 10 years. I have not had to go on strike once to get it. I am guaranteed above inflation pay rises for the next 2 years.
    For the duration of the Olympics and Paralympics I will receive bonus payments of just over £3k (some will get around £5k) for agreeing minor breeches of framework agreements.
    I'm not bragging I just believe that every worker should invite Bob Crow into their workplace.

    where i work, there have been people working there for more than 12yrs and never had a pay rise (only when the minimum wage is increased) i think everyone who works should have a right to join a union.

    This is why Crow is villified in the press. You don't have to like the mans politics but you cant argue that he fights for the working man.
    We have 1000's of Bus Drivers fighting to be able to join the RMT in London because they know that their standard of living will improve.
    This Austerity gets on my nerves. Expecting working people to pay for the sins of Bankers.

    A £2.3m house with £400,000 mortgage... it's Labour leader Ed Millionaire!

    • He attacked the Prime Minister for his personal wealth but the Labour leader is far from poor
    • He earns more than £130,000 while his partner earns around £200,000 a year


    Ed Miliband likes to portray himself as a man of the people, emphasising his humble origins as the comprehensive-school educated son of immigrants.

    But only days after dodging questions about his personal wealth and sneering at David Cameron’s fortune, it has emerged that the Labour Party leader is so rich he can afford to live in a £2.3million house – with a £400,000 mortgage.

    Land Registry documents also show the Milibands have remortgaged their house in north London with Barclays, the bank he savaged for its role in the interest-rate rigging scandal.

You just have to vote who will represent you better if the tories are making it better for you then good fair play to you. Its personal choice at the end of the day. (Or what we have been brought up with).

    I agree with most of that although I wouldn't want Bob Crow at my workplace if the employer was on the edge of going bankrupt as was our car industry in the 70's.

    Having said that since our workforce opted for the UNITE Union back in 2003 my basic salary has doubled

    It was mentioned that Miliband's education was different from the rest of the fat wallets...maybe so but his father's influence was major in his formative years...he was no truck drivers son ...Miliband was groomed from an early age..the Comprehensive school was all part of the master plan (reference the Mail a few weeks back .

    In the likeable stakes it looks as if they (The Unions) did pick the wrong brother but if you are finding the Labour leader's trouser bulge off putting...you definitely wont like his brother's.

    I knew you were ... but just couldn't resist seeing the funny side of your reference to his "trouser bulge".
