Ooops didn't they teach her that she should engage her brain before speaking. grin

vq - she would have to have a brain to engage with in the first place - this is not the first time she has made an intellectually challenged statement - but at least those who vote for her will know exactly what they are getting

She might have made this comment but at least she went to a state school as do her other children.

It's a bit b----y rich being chastised by Clegg who is going to send his children to private schools. No hypocrisy there then is there.

As for Labours candidate John O'Farrell who has said he was sorry Margaret Thatcher wasn't murdered by the IRA in the Brightion Bombing and we should have lost the Falklands conflict that's another story I suppose.

I know which is the least intellectually challenged statement made by an idiot who didn't engage their brain without thinking.

Anyway many GN's sent their children to be privately educated, are they snobs as well?

And they say the Tory's are the ones to try and divide and rule by using class warfare. Hmm

Where did the word snobs come from? That's not the issue with what she said

Snobbery was mentioned in the link in the OP.

Outrage-snobbery-election.

That was the the DM headline. I wasn't talking about snobbery. Just amused by the way candidates can trip themselves up.

Oh right. Lost the plot.
