Page 14 | To intensely dislike Rishi Sunak?

He has no backbone, no coherent policies (u-turns a dozen times a day)and no understanding of ordinary people's lives. Plus he wears all his clothes a size too small, which really irritates me.

He’s an utter self interested wanker that is properly fucking the country for personal gain

"Keir Starmer and his wife both attended private schools"

In 1974, Keir won a place at Reigate Grammar School, which would become independent during his time there. Those who were already pupils were allowed to continue, with their fees paid by the local council.

Surrey County Council covered the fees up to age 16 - Starmer will have benefitted from a scholarship, bursary or part bursary.

It says he was a day boy on Wiki
This article might be more accurate

Or perhaps the details are more accurate here;

He was born in Southampton, where his father was a GP and his mother a pharmacist. She bought her own pharmacy when he was a teenager, and he did the accounts for her. He went to Winchester, the boarding school...

Unusually, he went as a day boy because Winchester is only a few miles from the northern suburbs of Southampton. One friend of his from school says: “He was remarkably similar to today: hyper-competent, good at pretty much everything, with a gift for getting on with people.”

... This friend says “it was a sign of the esteem in which he was held that he was made head boy despite being a day boy”. Nine out of 10 boys at the school were boarders, yet it was Sunak who was chosen, by the headmaster, to be the school’s first Indian-origin head boy.

How can anyone think that some who a) broke the law and appararently didn't know he had and b) thinks that we should be impressed that he is going to refund the replacement of all the school buildings in England by 2443 is competent?

A scholarship is surely to be celebrated? And nothing wrong with bursaries if that applies to Starmer's situation.

Nothing he or his family could do about a school changing status

I see the satire is strong on this thread from some posters.

Sunak has integrity and I am the Pope.

Indeed and so's my Dad (the Pope).

Ok, so he was a day boy at a prestigious boarding school, did well there and was made a head boy.

Good for him.

Your point being?

Personally, I think Sunak was unlucky to receive the Covid fine - he turned up for a meeting. He certainly didn't tell a string of lies like Starmer did over the curry evening.

Given there are over 20,000 schools in the country, and presumably most of them have a head boy or girl each year, are we supposed to be impressed by all of them?

How was Sunak unlucky?

He attended an illegal party and when the whole world knew he had attended an illegal party did he come clean. No he sat next to his boss while his boss lied and lied about it.
A man of integrity would have resigned then and not returned to public office.

@Clavinova are there other criminals who are unlucky to be caught by their own stupidity?

countrygirl99 · 01/10/2023 16:15

Now @jgw1 you should know ny now that expecting someone who was in the Cabinet to be acquainted with the rules they were approving is totally unreasonable. Poor things can't be expected to remember these little details when they are so important. It's just the rest of us they applied to.

ilovesooty · 01/10/2023 16:15

A man of integrity would not have climbed to power in the way he has.

Still no one has come along to defend his alleged decency, integrity, political record and parliamentary behaviour.

Perhaps he could have tuned into the daily broadcasts from Downing Street about what the rules were we were meant to all be following?
Or is he so clever that he didn't understand what they were?

Sunak was fined for breaking the law, Starmer was not, even after 4? different investigations.

Sunak also went missing during the vote on the Partygate report and is refusing to comment on it.

A couple of weeks ago Sunak was telling us about the fictional meat tax he was going to abolish. Last week he was telling us about the fictional blanket 20 mph speed limits he is going to stop. I'm looking forward eagerly to hearing about the next fantasy policy he is going to deal with. Deporting the fairies living at the bottom of our gardens, perhaps?

Guido spotted a change in Starmer’s Durham beer and curry story this afternoon, as he defended the lockdown booze-up on Loose Women. Asked to clarify the numbers in attendance Sir Keir confidently said there were “about 15 or so" there. Back in January on LBC’s Call Keir, however, ‘Mr Rules’ claimed there were only about six in attendance. Not a convincing witness, the hesitation in answering Nick Ferrari’s question in January was noticeable. Now he’s changed his answer. It turns out Keir Starmer can takeaway, he just can’t add up…

It proves that he just like everyone else who went to their local school as a day pupil. Man of the people really.

Not like Starmer who forced his state school to become a private school while he was there, by buying his mother a donkey field and having a beer.

Can one make fictional pigs in blankets from fairies, ficitional meat and fictional blankets? I think we need to know.

It doesn't matter, Keir Starmer did not break the law.

The ones in charge, the ones making the laws, Johnson and Sunak did break the laws.

Johnson lied to Parliament and Sunak stayed silent.
