Does Corbyn despise the working class ?

[gasbanni]

I've read an article that mentioned this.

Remember Milliband sacking Thornberry for her snobby tweet ?

Here's a reminder

Good move that she deserved.

So what does Corbin do ? He puts the snob on his front bench .......actions speak louder than words do they not.

Oddly enough there seems to more snobs in labour than any other political party. Rather paradoxical when you consider it.

As Orwell once said the left don't care about the poor they just hate the rich.

Roy Jenkins was the archetypal Labour snob. When boarding the train for London once after leaving his Birmingham constituency, he remarked to a colleague:
"back to civilization".

Can you provide any evidence of the incident?

There are very few "working class" MP's in the parliamentary labour party , or in Parliament.

Are you measuring them by their origins, or by their style of living?

Dunno

they discussed this on the radio a while back , 95% of MP's are university educated with phd's ??

Most (?) went into politics from university ,

real world jobs ?? not many

There's a book written by Peter Osborne called 'the triumph of the political class' which explains modern politics very well and is well worth a read.

Dunno

If you don't know what you mean, nobody else does.

 

[transam]

how many MP's worked in the construction industry ? have been one man band self employed ? run a small bussiness ? been a car mechanic ? shop worker ? ward nurse ? carer? cleaner? ect ect

MP one of the few jobs where u do not need any type of qualification.

 

[JohnD]

95% of MP's are university educated with phd's ??

I find that most improbable.

 

[Notch7]

95% of MP's are university educated

yes either Oxford or Cambridge

 

[JohnD]

with phd's ??

an unconvincing claim
