Originally posted by Mapletree I assume that is some kind of negative comment about something. What is quite beyond me Yes, Starmer got a knighthood following his stint as DPP. Not bad for a state school lad from a family of five children in Southwark. They f***ing dole out those knighthoods like confetti nowadays so that's no achievement. The guy is Tony Blair MkII By all accounts he was a total disaster at the DPP. Isn't it funny how Labour MPs are lauded as 'Working Class' done good yet Conservative MPs from working class backgrounds who achieve some modicum of success are derided as class traitors...

It's one of the poshest schools in the area and only the privileged could afford and this was in the 80s. The bloke lived in oxted a very affluent area and his dad the tool maker was the owner of a tool making factory. He's a posh boy and comes from ££££. So Labour will have another rich kid leader. Have Labour in recent years had any real working class leaders? All the people I know who vote Labour are far from working class folk! Edited by cpfc_chap (04 Apr 2020 4.40am)

How much did he pay to go to school? I too passed my 11+ and went to a Direct Grant school. I always understood DG and VA schools weren’t allowed to charge fees for pupils, I expect you know better

So Corbyn leaves as Labour lesder. Meanwhile, in a sign of just how much politics has changed since he started, this is the FT's editorial today. [Tweet Link] If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4

I always understood DG and VA schools weren’t allowed to charge fees for pupils, I expect you know better Not sure how it worked in Reigate but the 11+ ended in the Midlands in 1976 and full (non fee paying) scholarships were then granted to only the brightest pupils (1 or 2 in 30) and there was something called the Governors Exam. If you passed that you were entitled to go to Grammar School however on a subsidised fee paying basis. I passed the Governors exam but my parents couldn't afford to send me to the Grammar School that my brother attended on a free 11+ basis so I went to a Comprehensive School.

Starmer is just another 'Leftie' who wants common ownership of rail,water etc, to tax the rich and to raise Corporation Tax. Corbyn with a better haircut. I recall some while back getting into a frog-eyed frenzy about the Labour Party and someone responding by asserting that I was a right-wing, bigoted ERG Tory.I don't think he is alone in forming such a conclusion! To be honest I have NO desire to spend any time debating about Starmer and his dastardly Labour Party so this is my last post on this thread.In actual fact I will not take the trouble to peruse it.

When Corbyn resigned, practically every Labour MP, when asked, said that the next leader must be a woman. They are all very quite about that now.
