    Shami Chakrabarti

    I loathe these people.

    Shami Chakrabati is upholding the great Left-wing tradition of pious hypocrisy

    Yes. The chasm between her own “charmed and privileged” existence, to use her phrase, and her support for the miserable, egalitarian ideology of socialism certainly makes her a hypocrite.

    She aims to deny poorer people the advantages that her son enjoys. She seeks to impose a failing dogma that she refuses to accept for her own child. She blathers about inequality, yet wallows, almost boastfully, in affluence and privilege.

    Chakrabarti is not just a dissembler but a snob. She speaks glowingly of the “wonderful state sector” in education, but decides that her son is too refined to mix with the urban riff-raff.

    They make agents look like paragons of virtue and rectitude. (Hard to imagine I know).
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      I sort of warmed to her as a few things she said made sense, now I just see her as a thin Dianne Abbott.
      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

              The Labour party are no different to the rest.

              Hodge, the one who hates contractors, is worth millions. The Blairs have property empires etc.

              The only true socialist is Corbyn which is why the majority hate him. If he got his policies in to play then most of the Labour MPs would lose a fortune.

                  You CAN be rich and hold left wing views without being a hypocrite. e.g. earn a huge amount but actually pay 60% tax rather than try and hide it in the Bahamas, use it to help charities, spend your time in soup kitchens... but that either doesn't happen much, or doesn't make a good news story so we only hear about the ones who are either two-faced, or start off honourable but get seduced by the money.

                  Then of course you can make the argument people who get rich tend to be the types who are more interested in money than people in the first place.

                    The way you can be rich and hold left wing views is if you seek to bestow upon the people at the bottom end of society the freedoms, aspiration and opportunities that enable the well off to get on.
                    (I put myself into this category )
                    This would then only work if people were given choice over education and all education was of a very good standard. Also access to capital - to own property.
                    The only way this would happen is if the bottom end of the education system was improved with more sport and vocational education being made available and selection to feed those with academic strength into environments where people want to learn.
                    Most of the rich left are more concerned with their own images and whatever most of them say what they actually deliver is described as.

                    She aims to deny poorer people the advantages that her son enjoys. She seeks to impose a failing dogma that she refuses to accept for her own child. She blathers about inequality, yet wallows, almost boastfully, in affluence and privilege.

                    Again I return to the adage that actions are far louder than words.
