As most of the Tories went to Eton, they think it's reasonable for everyone to pay for education. Probably by selling their ISAs or making use of a trust fund or something.

Doesn't everyone have a spare horse in their stable to flog when they need a few pennies? Must be one of those sponging slackers then.

Raptors claws are coming to town
As most of the Labours went to Eton-equivalents too, it's not going to get any better when we vote the current bastards out 
I'll console myself that all the patients asking for extra tramadol to see them through Christmas are actually selling it to pay for their children's education.

I googled this: 34% of MPs, 54% of Tories, 41% of LibDems and 12% Labour went to fee-paying schools. 20 went to Eton (19 Tories, 1 LibDem)
I just looked up Gove's bio to see where he went to school (private school, he won a scholarship) and saw he was adopted. God, those adopting parents sure lucked out there hey?!

I read that as "He was adapted" Perhaps that's closer to the truth than I first thought, though...

Mornings are really annoying me at the moment. There'll be another one tomorrow, won't there?
I can't wait until Friday.

Govey is quite annoying, but I had to laugh tonight when Vincent Cable was being interviewed about the announcement of Nissan's £250m investment in new jobs and plant in Britain.
BBC question - hasn't your govt just made it easier to sack these workers?
A reference to the change in the consultation period to redundancies from 90 days to 45 days.
So, asking about the prospects for redundancy on jobs that didn't even exist before and don't actually exist yet.
What a prat.

Bloody follow up calls from salesmen on everything. Phones, cars. Yes I bought something. You already tried to sell me all the other tat on top and I have already told you to fcuk off. I don't need you to follow up with more sales pitches and more questions on whether it is working properly. I have little enough fcuking time in my life as it is to be wasted on the phone to you. If anything was wrong with it I would have bloody complained already. Now kindly fcuk off and leave me in peace. Oh and get a fcuking job that is actually constructive. If you hadn't been a waster you wouldn't now have a dead end job in a call centre. Oh, and your fcuking prescripted polite responses and questions. JUST FCUK OFF.

Conversations about self-tan, aftershave, perfume, the R1 playlist, shoes, Asda and TOWIE. These are things that just happen, some are dull and some are worrisome. None of them really warrant being discussed all morning. I'm beginning to feel like an intellectual heavyweight here.
