So David Cameron went to Eton

[Mich the Tester]

So what?

Why should this have any bearing on his suitability for the job of Prime Minister?

[Moscow Mule]

Just because he's a toff, doesn't mean he won't do a better job than the current bunch.

IMO, Labour are onto a loser with this class war stuff.

Gordon Brown didn't go to Eton and he's been shit!!

WHS, doesn't matter where they went to school, there's a huge fiscal mess that will take several decades to sort out.

I think that it is the old boys network which is the problem

Riddle me this: How many of the shadow cabinet went to top private/public schools, followed by an Oxbridge education, followed by a career in politics.

And it is not just the Tories.

I would like to see real people governing us. People with experience of the real world.

How can the people described above devise policy that is sympathetic to the need of patients on mixed wards in Victorian hospitals.

They can't and that is the problem.

More real people, more real talk and more real policy for the British public......

Maybe then tax would not be the single issue on the manifesto

Yes, Labour have been ramping this up in the last few weeks, they are desperate to hold onto power and inverted snobbery is the last tree on the avenue to fight at.

Are people who went to public school not real?

Look at Bob Ainsworth. He was a welder and that was when he probably reached the peak of his capability. Totally out of his depth now, as is most, if not all, of the cabinet.

I don't care who went to Eton. Totally irrelevant, beyond proving to me they had an education, and probably a good one at that.

How can people who haven't had a decent education devise policy that is sympathetic to the needs of patients on mixed wards in Victorian hospitals?

They can't and that is not the problem - how can any politician devise any policy at such a low level? A political party can merely state aims and broad strokes on how to achieve such. It's down to the myriad public servants to implement that policy.
