Darth Vader Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 When Dennis Skinner quite rightly asks why Jeremy Hunt is getting better employment rights than any other worker in Britain, and if it's because he's taking the rap for Cameron. Cameron's ill-thought out, totally inappropriate and just downright smarmy answer is to advise Skinner to take his own pension. What a loathsome specimen Cameron is. He's not fit to lick Skinner's boots. After he publically said that Skinner was a 'dinosaur', I think Skinner's got a case for ageist bullying. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/david-cameron/9236861/David-Cameron-tells-Dennis-Skinner-to-resign.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I've never known anyone use "dinosaur" as a euphemism for being old before. Out of date, out of touch, holding antiquated and long-obsolete opinions, perhaps; but I know teenagers who could be classed as dinosaurs on those grounds.

Out of touch is very much what the word is used to mean, and Skinner is lost in a world without Lenin. He does give good value from time to time in debates to be fair, but his politics are disgusting hard left rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janie48 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Poor Dennis, someone mentioned him on the other Cameron thread earlier. It will make Mr Cameron even more unpopular,even from his own side because there are many Tory MPs that have a lot of respect for Mr Skinner,from what i've heard.

HeadingNorth Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Skinner is, at least, one of the very few politicians who everybody agrees will practice what he preaches. He's entitled to the full salary of an MP, but only accepts an amount equivalent to what the average coalminer earns. (Or at least, that was so the last I heard.) If you're going to argue that all people should be equally paid, at least have the courage of your convictions and refuse to accept a larger salary. He does that.

cressida Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I've more respect for Dennis Skinner than David Cameron who has shown himself to be ageist, patronising and tactless - who knows, he may become the Opposition's secret weapon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubydazzler Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 He is taking up a job that a younger person could do, after all, and should be retired by now. Was he really born in 1932 ... that makes him 80? He looks good for his age though, bless him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
