tzijlstra Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I can only think of one thing to say and it isn't nice. But let's say the sentence begins with 'what a' and ends with a synonym for female genital parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Perfect speech for times of austerity Bojo isn't stupid. This will tie Cameron in knots. And later on Bojo will just say he was a bit drunk on the speech night and was fooling around and didn't mean any of it and it'll all be OK.

poppet2 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 "Johnson called for the rich to be hailed for their contribution to paying for public services as he said that the top 1% of earners contribute 30% of income tax. "That is an awful lot of schools and roads and hospitals that are being paid for by the super-rich. So why, I asked innocently, are they so despicable in the eyes of all decent British people? Surely they should be hailed like the Stakhanovites of Stalin's Russia, who half-killed themselves, in the name of the people, by mining record tonnages of coal?" If Boris condemned those Rich who don't pay their tax, people would have more respect for him - except the Rich I expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Tamudo Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 "In an attempt to shore up his support on the Tory right, as he positions himself as the natural successor to David Cameron, the London mayor called for the "Gordon Gekkos of London" to display their greed to promote economic growth". It's a while since I've seen Wall Street but I'm sure he got sent down for being dodgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the way of Sheffield. The successful make it and provide jobs for the rest who resent being given a job. That's why Sheffield lags behind the rest of the country when it comes to attracting investment. Some places look up to entrepreneurs who provide businesses and jobs. Increasingly these places are know as Eastern Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
