Nick Clegg, slight% Villa

[Chico Hamilton III]

Anyone hear Clegg's light-hearted dig at Cameron in his conference speech in Brum today. He said that Cameron supports Aston Villa for the same reason that anyone else supports a football team...because his uncle "owned" the club.

[The Laughing Policeman]

That comes from someone that obviously doesn't understand loyalty.
Mind you I'm now going to check through our family records to see if any of my uncles actually owned The Villa instead of just owning shares.

It pains me to say but I sympathise with Cameron. His uncle owing the Villa must have been the only exposure "Little Lord Fontilroy" ever had to the working man's game. I myself support the Villa because my Dad, Grandad and Great Grandad did so. Fair play to Dave, he supports us for the same reason.

can you imagine what people on here would say about Dave if he supported Manure or Chelsea

Exactly what I'm about to type..........he's an upper class bastard with no idea about what the rest of us are going through.
We're all in this together? You're having a laugh Cameron.

Clegg himself is guilty of trying to jump on the pop culture bandwagon. Remember when he said his favourite album of all time was David Bowie's Changes? Prick.

"Favourite Beatles album?  I'd have to say... The Best Of The Beatles"

This is Clegg who went to Westminster School who has admitted his father got him a job

[pauliewalnuts]

Westminster School where the annual fees are exactly the same as the fees at Eton.

Even from a proven hypocritical prick like Clegg, that takes some beating.

Cameron. Clegg. Ed Millibean.
 
Every one of them climbed the greasy pole as a SPAD (Special Political Advisor to a minister) having been privately educated, then graduated from Oxford. (or Cambridge in Clegg's case.)

I find it very worrying that the political leaders of all the three main parties have absolutely no experience of life as we know it. They really might as well have just arrived on the starship Enterprise.

Miliband went to a state school.

My mistake, you're right, he went to a comprehensive school. However, my point is that his subsequent career has followed a similar path to the other two, in that they have all existed pretty much in a political bubble since leaving university, a world that is totally foreign to almost all of the population.
