This just about sums up the Labour party ………..hypocritical and full of toffs!
A Labour activist who dressed in top hat and tails to ridicule the Tory candidate in the Crewe and Nantwich by-election was educated at a fee-paying school.
Alex Norris, 23, one of two Labour supporters who posed in “toff” gear, went to Manchester Grammar, a £9,000-a-year private school that has some of the best academic results in the country.
He has been the public face of a Labour drive to portray Tory candidate Edward Timpson, 34, as privileged because of his wealth and his education at Uppingham public school in Rutland.
However, Mr Norris’s own private school – founded in 1515 – is older than Uppingham (1584) and ranks substantially higher in academic league tables. Former pupils include actor Sir Ben Kingsley, author Thomas de Quincey and cricketer Mike Atherton.
Posh Boy Norris – a full time agent with Nottingham Labour party- no doubt hoping for a safe Labour seat as his reward – joined fellow privately educated ED BALLS in his Jaguar as they canvassed Crewe last week.
