Narrow UK class gap, urges Harperson

In a speech to the TUC Harriet has said that the "class gap" MUST be narrowed.

OK lovey ~ give me half your salary, 50% use of your taxpayer paid for expenses, use of your government car on alternate days and half your pension and we'll not quibble about the other bits and pieces.

Stupid bloody mare

I am no longer astonished by anything that any of them say.They should all be blasted to that other planet where they seem to live already.

Its sheer desperation on their part now. The only thing they can see to argue with leading up to the election is that the Tories are the 'Toff party' while Labour stand for the working class.

Utter tripe we all know but then again we havent been given those special glasses that the cabinet have which make everything look rosy and bright.

She wants a more meritocratic society. Good. So do I.

How, therefore, can that be achieved if you don't allow state schools to select pupils by ability? Children HAVE to learn young that you will reap what you sow. And no fucking about with "inclusiveness, non-competitive sports, yoghurt knitting" or any of that old fanny.

You wanna get somewhere - work for it. It should never be handed on a plate.

It is all down to basic laziness. Bastards.

Harman's just carrying on the family business; self serving legally trained politicos...

Wiki says:

Harman has significant family connections. Her father was a brother of Elizabeth Longford, the writer who wrote biographies of, amongst others, Queen Victoria and Wellington. Lady Longford was married to Francis Pakenham, 7th Earl of Longford, the lawyer and social reformer. Harman's first cousins include the writers Thomas Pakenham, Rachel Billington and the historian Antonia Fraser. Fraser is married to Harold Pinter, and was once married to the politician Sir Hugh Fraser and is the mother of Flora Fraser, another writer. Also, Harman's great-grandparents were Arthur Chamberlain and Louisa Kenrick. Arthur Chamberlain was the brother of Joseph Chamberlain, the social reformer and radical politician who served under Gladstone and Salisbury. Louisa's cousin Harriet married Joseph Chamberlain and they were the parents of Sir Austen Chamberlain, who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer and Foreign Secretary. Louisa Kenrick's sister Florence married Joseph Chamberlain after Harriet's death and they were the parents of Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1937-1940.
Her sister Sarah was a lawyer and part-time judge. She resigned having been caught passing confidential papers to Harriet Harman, then Solicitor General. Sarah Harman was found guilty of contempt of court and "conduct unbefitting a solicitor". She was ordered to pay £25,000 costs.[53] Her other two sisters, Janet and Virginia, are solicitors.
Harman has a house in Suffolk,[42] in addition to her 'main' home in Herne Hill, South London. She married Jack Dromey in 1982 in the borough of Brent, after meeting him on the picket line of the Grunwick dispute in 1977; she was legal advisor to the Grunwick Strike Committee. They have two sons (born February 1983 and November 1984) and a daughter (born January 1987).

And in addition to Suffolk and Herne Hill she also bought a flat round the corner from here for one of her kids, just to give them a helping hand on the property ladder, like. There'll be no narrowing the gap where she's concerned

Was it Dr Johnson who said "The law is the last refuge of the scoundrel" If he didn't he should have.

My old man used to wax quite lyrical when it came to these sorts...

Bankers... bastards
Lawyers... thieves
The City... thieving bastards
Do gooders... force them to drink Horlicks; they're all suffering from (k)night starvation 

Politicians...
