Remember there are a few Toffs within other parties also. Having said that, I don't think it's so important what Party is in power any more, I think it's the person running the country that matters!Originally Posted by London_Manila

I very much doubt that Boris had anything to do with the design of the bus windows...more likely dictated by some petty H&S EU regulation.
None of the modern buses I've travelled on in the past few years have had opening windows.
But...he's an easy target I suppose.
This class hatred really is illogical and outdated.

A Boris bus costs £355,000Bikes......... How many bikers have been killed on the London roads, and as they're so bad then why are they being introduced across other towns
Bus........... Overpriced? Is that the bus or the fare? Jeepneys are the answer
Airport........ is it really such a bad idea, or is it a reaction to BAA saying they'd shut Heathrow if they didn't get their 3rd runway??
Actually encouraging people to use bikes in an already congested city and share the same road space with HGVs is fast becoming a bad idea
Of course you living in Maidenhead means you're hardly going to be over the moon about Heathrow's expansion (yes it will happen)
What you nimbys (not in my back yard) dont realize is that everything is already there at Heathrow
Stanstead Gatwick and Luton are not London airports in my book, they are just too far away and 'Boris Island' would be the same
No hatred against toffs here i just feel the tories have far too many at the momentRemember there are a few Toffs within other parties also. Having said that, I don't think it's so important what Party is in power any more, I think it's the person running the country that matters!
Nothing to do with class hatred and I actually find Boris amusing sometimesI very much doubt that Boris had anything to do with the design of the bus windows...more likely dictated by some petty H&S EU regulation.

Is it too much to ask for someone as an MP who is not so out of touch with todays Uk inhabitants
These Tory Toffs only started to get anti immigration because Farage gave them a bloody nose
Of course these old Etonians living in some country estate in the middle of nowhere hardly gives them any idea of what its like to live amongst normal people

£355,000 for a bus doesn't sound too bad to me, how does this compare to buses in other capital cities
Heathrow expansion is great
I'll agree with that because I used to live rural and never set eyes on any foreigners ever in the area I lived!
I presume by thethat the additional influence is a guess and not a fact Arthur!
... fact! Parents were - without exception - from a professional background, amongst those I've encountered.
I'm not saying you're wrong Arthur, but I'm sure the press would have a field day if you could provide them with some evidence that a candidate was shown preferential treatment because of their background
OT Arthur, but did you look into Sleep Apnoea like I suggested? I don't recall you mentioning it.
My brother passed the Cambridge entrance exam and was offered a place.
He was also offered a place at Sandhurst.
He decided to take up the offer from the Foreign office, who subsequently sent him to London University.
We are from a working class background and both attended the same schools.
(Don't ask where I went wrong)
Boris WILL become Prime Minister sooner or later - just a matter of time.
Of course Brian!
I have to agree on that and Cameron probably knows already his days are numbered
Totally agree Graham.
Yep...UKIP for me.
They're backing Boris too.
One good thing I feel about Local Government Elections... IS, that you'll find *residents generally tend to cast their vote in favour of the candidate whom *they believe will be most likely to BEST serve the interests of the Council Ward in which *they live, rather than overly concentrate on the person's political banner!
The problem with local elections I find is that the local candidates names are plastered everywhere but they don't name what party they represent, it would be better if they just named the party to vote for!
I feel I need to take you aside on that one, our kid!
In a sense, you are right Graham, there are plenty of people out there who don't want to make an effort in life who'll berate anyone who owns something that they'd like out of pure jealousy. Basically they want something for nothing and I don't blame you or anyone else for criticizing these parasites in any shape or form.
However, there are fair minded individuals like myself
The goon was bleating the other week about having to pay extra tax despite having an estimated fortune of around 75 million dollars. He's got enough money to live very very comfortably on. If I and many others were in his position we'd appreciate what we had.
Spoilt brats like Caine really do need to get a reality check.
I'm happy to say that we are in total agreement.
Good point, well said!I feel I need to take you aside on that one, our kid!

Always knew you were one of the ladsI'm happy to say that we are in total agreement.
Oh I am Jamie.
Worked my way all the way up from the bottom, to almost the top....and then all the way back down again.
