All political party leaders in ENGLAND went to OXBRIDGE via private school. I am grateful to our Welsh and Scots contributors for pointing out this is not the case in Scotland and Wales and I have taken on board your analysis. Cheers!.
Nick Griffin went to a posh private school then to Cambridge. The fact is [...]
Another censored photo huggy Dave don’t want you to see…
Here’s ‘Ordinary’ Dave, first left, out hunting on the County Antrim estate of his close chum VISCOUNT RANDAL DUNLUCE.
Next to him is Charles Moore (Eton and Trinity College Cambridge), former editor of The Spectator, The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph who is currently freelance toffing [...]
I don’t fucking think so.
Paul Foot was, exceptionally for the SWP, honest about his class background. At meetings across the country he would disarmingly characterise himself as a ‘class traitor’ - resulting in the usual laughter and applause. This amiable self- description has been repeated enthusiastically by SWPers over the years.
He acknowledged it so [...]
Bambery, Foot, Callinicos: The Troterati
CHRIS BAMBERY editor of SOCIALIST WORKER and former NATIONAL ORGANISER of the SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY attended LORETTO private school in Edinburgh. LORETTO is the oldest and poshest private school in Scotland and has close links with the nearby FETTES PUBLIC SCHOOL attended by TONY BLAIR.

ALEX CALLINICOS - or PROFESSOR CALLINICOS to the likes of you and me - was born in Southern Rhodesia when white rule was at its [...]
We are not living in a democracy. We are not ruled by one or other of the political parties. We are ruled by a privileged social elite who all went to Oxford University! OXOCRACY!
It’s already bad but set to get much worse. Take a look at the likely leadership line-up for the General Election after [...]
George Osborne is first on the left.
At present there would be at least FOUR Bullingdon Club members in a Tory cabinet led by David Cameron!
‘In common with many another part of our culture football was a working-class pursuit colonised by a middle-class establishment.’
D.J.Taylor
No - Taylor was not talking about the middle-class discovery and colonisation of football by David Baddiel, Nick Hornby et al in the 1990s but the same process 100 years earlier.
Football, which had been glorious free–for-all [...]
Following on from the notorious - and successful - censorship of his Bullingdon Club photo, David Cameron is attempting to prevent publication of a second photo. This photo shows him out hunting, shotgun in hand, on the County Antrim estate of his close chum VISCOUNT RANDAL DUNLUCE.
Accompanying him is shotgun toting former Telegraph editor [...]
The distinguishing factor of life in Britain at present is that the toffs seek to dominate every aspect of our culture. This of course means running both government and opposition - see Tony Blair’s FETTES public school education.
For years aristocratic phoneys like VISCOUNT STANSGATE aka TONY BENN have dominated the Left along with the [...]
