Watching the 'Sunday Politics' show and they're quoting Nadine T re her "price of the pint of milk". Well, tbh I haven't got a clue either. Westminster here I come. Vote Aggie.

In addition to these charges, boys’ school accounts may include various other items which may total from £50 to £500 per half, besides any tradesmen’s bills for items bought in local shops. The house extras account will include the house subscription which is set by each house master at his discretion, intended to provide various items for his boys’ benefit over the years – perhaps a new billiards table, or a TV rental, or staging of a house play. Tipping of house domestic staff is organised centrally in each house every half, and is an expression of appreciation for all that the domestic staff do for the boys. Boys are supplied with a bible at Eton; this will appear as a charge on the school bill after a boy’s first half. There will also be a one-off ‘linen pool’ charge for duvet covers, etc.

I'll have you know that Eton is a Charitah (Charity) and that the wealthy should have every right to donate their money to Charitah (instead of paying taxes).
"In the past, people at Eton have occasionally been guilty of antisemitism, as in English society generally. For a time, new admissions were called 'Jews' by their fellow Collegers.[18] In 1945, the school introduced a nationality statute conditioning entry on the applicant's father being British by birth. The statute was removed after the intervention of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan in the 1960s after it came to the attention of Oxford's Wykeham Professor of Logic, A. J. Ayer, himself Jewish and an Old Etonian, who "suspected a whiff of anti-semitism".[19]"

Purvayor of great "girls in" photo's yes POSH you are not.
The above post may contain traces of sarcasm or/and bullsh*t.
Anyway, i have no feckin idea what a pint of milk costs and i've bought a fair few of those little bottles this year. That's surprising considering how much of a budget Nazi* (
*Just to be clear i'm neither an anti-semite or a big fan of Dutch poetry or poetry in general. Oh and i'm not trying to equate posh people, tight-arses, the Dutch, Poets or Milk to the Nazi Holocaust.

In my case perhaps it should mean Poster Of Sexy Honeys, though
I'll post your obvious in a minute.
Shame I don't really want to be posh myself, or maybe I could've made someone's day?
You can't judge a book by it's pictures of scantily clad women with nice knockers.
Indeed, there's a fair (very good chance) that Dave and his mates are fairly "out of touch", but the "price of a pint of milk" isn't a great example.
More to the point, I don't think I care if our politicians are particularly out of touch or not, I want politicians who have credible plans about the economy, policing, health, transport etc.
Now, being "in touch" with the general population undoubtedly is helpful when drawing up good policies, but I don't think it is a prerequisite quite frankly.
I wouldn't even go that far; the "general population" is a bit of a myth, the interests & policy preferences (thought the latter is as often driven by tradition as interests) are as variable across regions as they across the economic spectrum.
From a historical perspective I can think of supermen & bunglers who come both from the privaledge & the factory floor.
That's a particularly pressing issue when high-pay and and attacks on the wealthy are on the way up, due to both the recession and widening financial inequality.
Meh, it widened under the supposedly 'in touch' New Labour, didn't it, or at least didn't get noticeably better. Saw a headline in the Daily Mail :oops: apparently, Britain is the worst country in the EU for social mobility. I doubt anyone can reasonably pin this on the few years of coalition govt...
I do understand why being 'in touch' is important for the media, but I think it's importance in making a good politician is well overstated.
