With Daddy's money

The wife and I bought our son a property, because we could afford to and he couldn’t, should he have refused it. When all’s said and done he just got part of what he would get on our demise.

I'm not saying Rees-Mogg is thick, he's clearly not. I'm just pointing out that although he conforms to what a lot of people think makes someone very intelligent - the accent, the Eton and Oxbridge education, the use of Latin and more complex English - it doesn't mean he is exceptionally bright. With the right upbringing, it's possible to create that impression when the foundations are shaky. His grasp of history is clearly not very good, and yet he takes it upon himself to write a history book. That level of self-confidence, allied to a privileged background (which tends to give people the self-confidence in the first place) can take someone a lot further than is justified by their actual ability. A perfect example of that is, of course, Boris Johnson, who has been found out by a lot of people in his life, and is now being found out by the British public (well, those who are a bit behind the rest of us, who found him out long ago).

A late acquaintance of mine turned himself into the person that he wanted to be, he’d seen his elder brother do it, however he never made much money, but he sounded as though he came from money, not a council house in Thornbridge. He died in debt but managed to fill the Abbey Lane chapel with folk that could buy and sell him, it was then that it clicked, he didn’t need to have a lot of money, he just loved being close to those that had it, he had convinced himself that I was way down the wealth barrel, I never contradicted him.

Its every thing to do with birth and class , that is how the Country is run from top to bottom . 

Many of the  celebs on TV are silver spooners who have been to the right schools or have the top contacts . Its a fact just open your eyes 

like i said its the luck of the draw the whole of humanity is the haves and have nots, it can never change its how the country world works if everyone had everything the system would collapse, you do see that dont you???

just because one is luckier than another is not unfair its called life!

he clearly is not thick as you rightly say and hes clever enough to turn his weaknesses into strengths, i dont judge people on how they look or speak its their actions that speak volumes, plenty of billionaires that are not privately or eton educated that come from nothing, Jimmy Heseldene,(RIP) Mike Ashley, Pimlico plumbers founder Charlie Mullins etc etc.

as for the book i have no idea but to even write a book is a challenge in its self, maybe the researchers got it wrong/ it happens to the best authors i am sure.

as for Boris being found out well thats just your sides opinion and you are entitled to it , watch Bois stay for some time to come and more good for this country, he completed brexit  tick, hes got us to be the country with the least problem with covid, even though i disagreed with the lockdowns and as soon as there is a bigger news story this old story of parties at no 10 will fade away.

At the risk of repeating myself, why do Labour supporters wish Bojo to be replaced as PM, when he is obviously not having the best of times, surely they should want him to stay in place?

Because he is a Tory. Simple as that .

The only place he should stay in,  is a small  dark room or in a Circus  🤡

Labour supporters know that the Labour party have a better chance of doing better at the next general election if Boris is not leading the Tory party.  Keir Starmer also knows this.

Well from reading Labour posts I didn’t see it that way, this is crediting them with having more upstairs than I credited them with.

I’ve got a mate who lives in Australia and family in Ireland. When you hear what others think about us it’s clear that Johnson has done some serious damage to this country and its reputation and that’s why I want rid of the man.
