Well that bloke looked like Prince Andrew and he had nothing other than the usually Remoaner BS.  

You cannot argue with that sort of laser sharp insight, bravo!😂

Keir Starmer sells 'donkey sanctuary' field in Surrey for around £400,000

The Labour leader purchased a plot of land in the 1990s to give to his parents, who used it to look after...

Nice little earner for our champagne socialist Keir, oh to be in a position where you “didn’t realise” your little field has gone up in value to that extent.

Labour can’t win, get comrade Corbyn in and he’s too far left, swap him out for Starmer and he’s a champagne socialist. That said they’ve only had two leaders in recent times.

We’ve got the biggest bunch of corrupt Tory’s that have had the country away for billions and you pick up on Starmer’s £400k. Although I agree with you sometimes, other times I think you need to give your head a wobble.

Probably wanting to avoid a bad ww1 style headline if he gets into power

How did I know it would be countered with a tories are worse comment. I totally agree that all of them including the current government are hugely self centred,!wasteful and given the opportunity ( which the last two years lunacy and cries for protection certainly did) greedy who  will-line their pockets at the first opportunity, although with the odd notable exception I will admit. I’ve said this on innumerable occasions, the difference is I don’t hold up my favoured opposition on a holier than thou pedestal. £400k for the incidental field £480k for the house 🤔not a sniff off a million 🤷‍♂️Not bad at all. He’s got about as much in common with the average working man as JRM in reality. So I’ll refrain from wobbling my head for now.

Of course it was going to be countered with the tories, you’ve posted a link about the wrongdoing of the Labour leader for gawds sake. And to be fair how many politicians from any party have anything in common with the working man?

So based upon that rationale every time I see a drip about the Tories i therefore should counter with one about Labour 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️regardless of wether it’s factually correct or not eggs !!!!

Head and shake time maybe 🤔
The answer to the last question not many and even those weren’t afraid of the benefits the position bestowed, Skinner and Campbell come to mind. 

[GarethM]

Thing is tho, I like JRM.

Mostly because he's an unapologetic conservative, an actual conservative not a focus group media groomed faker.

 

That and he obviously doesn't do it for the money, which in my mind makes it more old fashioned and doing it to hopefully do some good.
