What a shower - they are not fit to govern the country

Sorry, that was obviously a typo error, well, to most of us anyway, but in the interest of clarity for the uninformed was Balliol! (It's an Oxford College,for additional clarity!)
Most people who go to Eton have family connections, so not much of an advantage for special treatment in fact none at all!
Gosh GG13, do you think so? Surely not!!!!??

I do find it amusing that on the majority of forums including GN, twitter etc., the personal insults emanate from those who's allegiances are left leaning.

One could almost think that they were smarting from losing elections and a referendum?

Glorybee I would also define myself as a decent person with the qualities you quote. I would also like to add pride and conscientiousness especially when making life choices. There are many who continue to bring children into the world that they cannot afford to feed. They feel that it is the governments responsibility to provide for them and not their own. Their lack of the qualities you quote is hard to believe.

Other than human, female and Welsh, I don’t apply labels to myself - political or religious. I actually believe people can be kind, caring and generous at all points of the spectrum.

The unkind, uncaring and mean are everywhere as well - beware those who say one thing in public but do another in private.

I wish we had other emoji's on here SCJ. You're on fire today. Never mind LOL, I did actually do a loud snigger!

They appear to be on par with your maths.

Nothing wrong with my morals or my sense of justice.

It really is. I imagine it’s where he learned the rest of his circus skills.

LOL SCJ. I was going to let THAT one go.

Quite apt for BJ really.

Did I mention History? He got a 2.1. Other students got 1st. BJ was disappointed with his 2.1. He knew it wasn't a great result.

Talk down to me all you like. I currently have 3 ex students at Oxford. One of whom is reading my subject. None at Cambridge at the moment admittedly. Your arrogance is distasteful.

Balloon College?

Not one I’m familiar with. Perhaps that’s why Gaga isn’t either?

Sepsis deaths - 48000 plus per year

Covid deaths since March 12th - almost 34000

Road traffic accidents (no doubt including those hit by buses) - under 2000 per year

CVD deaths per year (including hear attacks, stroke, etc) - 167000 per year

Someone needs to redo their maths (and it’s not me)

No gaga Jo Two-One in Greats is not the same as as a. ordinary 2nd class degree in History! Requirements or an in-depth knowledge of Latin and or Ancient Greek is very different from a knowledge of the South Sea Bubble! As for obtaining an Kings Scholarship through family connections?!! Err NO!! You clearly have very little knowledge of this and of Balloon College, or Oxford generally!

The word ‘Tories’ is spat out with such venom regularly on here, meant as an insult but like you with ‘lefties’, I don’t take it as an insult. I am also a decent person with good morals and values who cares about social justice. It’s laughable that the left think they have ownership of social justice. There are a great many hues of political belief and why people have the views they do.

Funny that GG13, I had a 20% chance of dying from cancer and yet I'm still not putting myself at risk of C19.

Exactly SirChenjin. It has entirely positive connotations! Caring. Social conscience. Vote with the vulnerable in our society in mind rather than my own pocket.

Socially/financially, I should be right-wing. Morally, I'm left.

I do enjoy watching the Tories throw the term ‘leftie’ around in the mistaken belief that it’s an insult. I’m proud to be left of centre - it means that I’m a decent person with good morals and values who cares about social justice. If I found myself agreeing with anything that came out of the nasty mouths of Cummings, Mogg and Bozza I’d be giving my head a wobble.

Message from the Conservatives - let's slowly get the Country working with a sense of normality, along with minimalising our risks and using common sense.

Message from Labour - lets close U.K. PLC down, pay everyone to stay at home for the foreseeable future.

You are more likely to be die by being run over by a bus, have a heart attack, stroke, cancer or sepsis than you are from Covid-19.

A 2.1 and an upper second is the same thing. 2nd class.

If he should have got a first, he would have done. He didn't.

I think a little more than copy and paste from Quora is needed if you want more than one other person on the internet's opinion.

He may have been a scholar but WASN'T regarded as being as bright as the other scholar's implying his family connections played a role in getting him there.

Ha Ha well said GagaJo

Whitewavemark2 Just shows how ignorant you are.

I think you'll find it is ONLY the Tories on here banging on about Labour losing the election.

The lefties are more concerned with the thousands of British people losing their lives.

We are furious because Johnson and co are all for the big corporations big business a small state everyone else public sector workers we all rely can go whistle, not given a pay rise unessessary austerity And are selling off our NHS I think thats a lot to be going with, to think about don't you?

Jabberwok - very well put, I can’t really be bothered anymore, although I do generally read the political stuff and it can be amusing seeing the lefties ‘at it’, although always so, so predictable.

Jabberwok Thanks for your support. I'm not bothered about their opinions of me or of Boris Johnson and the Conservative party. I'm just so glad that Corbyn and his Marxist cronies didn't win.

Well in my opinion no amount of academic qualifications are sufficient without a huge dose of common senses, which sadly seems to me to be particularly lacking in many of our politicians.
