wykikitoon 19147 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Is it true? Just Call me Dave is worth £30m and apparently his wife even more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4227 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Don't know about his wife but I'd seen the 30m figure before - inherited of course. He did a token job in PR I think before becoming a politician but he never needed to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 19147 Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 Did he inherit the money then? "I know how the recession is hitting families" Errr yeh, course you do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4227 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Family of stockbrokers according to Wiki - and some grain magnate in the last century. His wife is the daughter of a baronet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4227 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I would add that even a tory hater like me recognised he was being honest in his praise of the NHS when talking about his son who died - but his other common man stuff is utter, utter shit.

Brown isn't exactly a council house lad but I don't think he's loaded - his dad was a church minister I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown isn't exactly a council house lad but I don't think he's loaded - his dad was a church minister I think. Brown was educated in a state school. In general, it is fair to say that the tories are much more priveleged than politicians from the Labour party, and the two leading tories are amongst the most priveleged. How much this matters is a moot point of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only matters that you have the right ideas for that moment in time and can inspire and lead a great government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4227 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Off the top of my head without quote mining there was the "Call me Dave" campaign and his webcam broadcasts showing him washing dishes at home which I think was shown to be staged. They may be petty but there was a definite aim to make him "ordinary". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion this lot will never help the average man on the street, let alone people from the North East. David and Boris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
