Old Labour at work

[TheFaQQer]

I thought somebody might remember. Anyway, no it isn't a fairy story, here it is:

University squeeze on children of graduates

"The questions regarding care and parental education are not compulsory."

Linky.

Great. So that must mean the hunting ban can be challenged once more, and inheritance tax, because those discriminate against the upper classes.

Do you honestly believe that the hunting ban only affected the upper classes? The people that got hit really hard by that are the low paid country workers that lost their jobs and ended up with nothing to do because there aren't that many options out in the country.

The hunting ban was a bunch of city twats who don't know how the country works, or understand the people that live there flexing their muscles and trying to take the moral high ground. Hunts provide lots of jobs to poor people in the country, and keep the levels of foxes down to a managable level which helps out farmers.

And nor will ID cards be.

... Hunts provide lots of jobs to poor people in the country

This is true. I know hunting people, and the riders aren't all posh or well-off either.

I don't know, you complain when Labour are right wing, you complain when they're left-wing. No pleasing some people.

One Cabinet minister has dubbed the plan 'socialism in one clause'.

Finding one minister to give a good soundbite on ANY policy-related proposal is hardly news.

All sounds familiar somehow. Very soon the middle class and intellectuals will be forced to dig ditches.

Yeh, hunting sorts I knew weren't posh either. Still total barstewards tho.

Didn't Labour introduce a rule that said children of graduates go to the back of the queue for university places or something? Or am I dreaming again?

I definitely remember something like this. Labour said children of graduates unfairly benefit from having clever parents.

Or in their case will be disadvantaged now?

The Labour masterplan is to bankrupt the country making everybody poor and then sell themselves as the party to help the poor. What a masterstroke !!!

a bit like that guy who shot both his parents dead, and at his trial appealed to the court for clemency on the grounds that he was an orphan ...
