John McDonnell - fee paying scholar to Marxist

Just flipped back over a few comments that I’d missed.

growstuff and MaizieD I said I’d picked a source at random! Sorry it was a less than decent one.

Mea culpa.

However, as I pointed out earlier - there were many other articles - try the Sun, Express or the Daily Mail.

I’m bored with this thread now - adios!

Bored - hey that is easy.... but so so expected.

You're bored because you got it wrong...[imo]….

infantile ...

Johnson was an entitled child too. Sadly it has made him an entitled adult.

Entitled to lie.
Entitled to take no responsibility.
Entitled to drop his friends if they aren't useful to him. Entitled to insult.
Entitled to be racist.
Entitled to be arrogant.
Entitled to be cruel.
Entitled to be dangerous.
Entitled to be deceitful.
Entitled to be hypocritical.
Entitled to be idiotic.
Entitled to be lazy.

What a pity he didn't just benefit from the education he was given.

there were many other articles - try the Sun, Express or the Daily Mail.

No, Ug, there were just 3 other articles, the ones you mention. (I know because I googled it too) And if you read them all, as I did, they were all of them lifted directly from the Rita Skeeter article in the Mail on Sunday, as was the one you linked to.

It was a non-story, planted to wind you and your ilk up. Worked a treat...

Understand your point very well @Yehbutnobut.

Coming from a long line of Scousers, I can hear how the local accent softens & adapts as the diaspora has moved away from the city centre by varying amounts & different directions.

Taking your point, I suggest that JMcD must pop back to his birthplace regularly to top up his Scouse twang., otherwise he’d sound like he came from the Greater London ‘burbs & East Anglia.

GGMk3 Everyone, regardless of background, is entitled to be everything on your list. It is truly democratic.

We don't usually regard them as being entitled to lead the country, though, MOnica

Obviously I can't tell my Scouser from my Mancunian.
I've been listening to a Scouser this evening and he sounded nothing like John McD

It is not the fault of John McDonnell that his parents chose to send him to a fee paying catholic school

You may not, Maizie, but I do. Good examples are Margaret Thatcher and John Major. Possibly Neil Kinnock and Harold Wilson.

Who is Rita Skeeter?

I beg your pardon, MOnica. Good examples of what?

Good examples of lying, irresponsible, disloyal, insulting, racist, arrogant, cruel, dangerous, hypocritical, deceitful and idle people who led the country?

I don't think any of them got a Full House... (card game reference)

Callistomen. Rita Skeeter was the toxic, popular press type, journalist in the Harry Potter books.

I didn't think that everyone would get that reference

Ah, as no-one replied I googled it
Rita Skeeter was a Harry Potter character, I thought she must have been a journalist.

Thanks, MaizieD
I thought you had missed it!!

I don't read/watch Harry Potter

Oh dear Maizie you should really read your own posts.

Me: Everyone, regardless of background, is entitled to be everything on your list. It is truly democratic.

You:^We don't usually regard them as being entitled to lead the country, though,^

As a direct reply to that I listed Prime Ministers who came from ordinary or less than average homes. I was not commenting on their character or anything else, merely their childhood origins.

Maybe you weren't clear in what you were saying, MOnica. I read your post as saying that everyone was entitled to be anything on GGMk3's list of characteristics; i.e, entitled to be arrogant, cruel, racist etc.

If that was not what you meant I apologise for not being a mind reader...
