I totally agree, but the best way for the parties to ensure that they get intakes of polite drones is to "get 'em young".
Wasn't Pitt the Embryo quite young when he became and MP?

Are drones anything like sheeple?

Hardly getting over it.
No.
A "drone" is a backbencher who can be relied on by the whip's office to vote on party lines. The term has a long history, all the way back to the 1920s when Churchill used it to comment on supine tories who supported Baldwin come hell or high water.
"Sheeple" on the other hand, is a construct which places people within an armorphous mass of ignorance, liable to follow without thought. It's a construct used by intellectually-bankrupt people to denigrate anyone who doesn't act in the way that the intellectually-bankrupt person wants.
See? Nothing like.

That was back in the days where real nepotism and patronage held sway though, rather than what's happening here.
no i think it is clear for all an sundry to see that to question your intelligence is far from a projection
I think William Ralph Inge was on to something when in his book England written in 1938 he said that the voting age should be raised from the then age of 21 to 25 so as to prevent "callow youth" having the vote. This Dean of St Pauls had kind things to say about Mussolini as well in the same book though so not everything about him was sound.
Times change and now callow youth is encouraged to stand as a Member of The House. Would that there be a maximum age for serving in Parliament - perhaps 40 like in the Services. MPs would all have to leave and start chicken farms as I understand happens with retiring servicemen and women. Emily Benn despite her relationship to Tony and Hilary is not part of any dynasty though. The party she has joined is not the one Tony joined years ago despite a similarity in part of its name. She also cannot have inherited any of his values because she would not be welcome in the current party. Hilary as far as I know just got involved because it was something he knew about. He has no left politics about him at all. That doesn't qualify as a dynastic succession.

There's a problem with that statement: you are in no position to question anyone's intelligence, let alone mine. Get back under your stone.
i think we all know who i was refering to well the mods must have at least as the thread demonstrates
actually bucthersapron has made a reference to 'ike' on this thread did you do a thread search on that ? evidently not still and fyi he has used 'conspiraloon' on others often recently - other posters would be aware of this so you can stick your book where the sun dont shine oopps i forgot seeing as thats where you keep most of your ideas !
wow im honored
so whats your excuse
if name calling and smears is the work of a fool then i must be in the right company here on urban as it is a habit you bucthersapron nino to name a few indulge in readily and ofteni was drawing attention to the fact that this occurs vp when someones sanity is questioned in relation to a topic under disscussion what do you think the purpose of it is ? it took an intervention by treelover who asked people to tone it down on a previous thread and i do not think that he was addressing his point to me as i was not the one who had started throwing insults based upon mental illness whihc leveas one culprit
i disgaree with a lot of posters on a lot of issues tho i doubt i have ever questioned there sanity just there judgement and when they have thrown there toys out of the pram as you and especially nino are apt at doing i flame grill you accordingly - i am admit that i do at least try to make the flaming a bit more entertaining for the neutrals rather than opting for the usual c word
i think your confused which is the story of life 5/10 for misrepresentation - which you admit to on the other thread the one line wonder was a reference to posters who do not post on threads except for one line in which they usually do nothing but try and flame
my point about the far right has nothing to do with one line wonders - my point was the context with which those who deem themselves anti every ism under the sun adn who then exposes themselves as hypocryties - then start wondering why the far right are growing
Perhaps o ominpotent on eyou could actually show where i have said i am pure and great ? no?
in your book that makes you a liar!
im not a poster trying to set the world to rights according to marx or liberalism or anarchism these grand narratives are dead and the presevre of the wealthy imo i just think that it is wrong hypcocrtical and in the long term politically and soically damaging to play at treating people equally and shout about how your being discriminate dagainst and then start to use generalisations as other posters themselves do the more they do so the more the chickens will keep coming home to roost
well heres looking at you kid...
no its sarcasm and - a reference to your self appointed ominpotence and un declared physic abilities which you apparently share with others for example who know johny rotten is rasist becasue they 'just know things cos you er.. just do'
you use smears all the time so i think you should be able to take your own medicine!
wouldnt you like to know then you could be a bit more creative as opposed to using the c word

no the problem is that you are unintelligent and know it
Like I said, you're in no position to make that claim and this reply to me demonstrates that rather well.
Re Post 278
I find posts with intermittent comment interspersed with multiple quotes, as unreadable as those lengthy rants without paragraph spaces that some people write. Such private disputes could surely be kept to PMs.

top post i think in the long run this going to be very damaging for the political process which call me a cynic is perhaps the point
what private schools?
thats not such a bad idea imo then we could find out who works part as ceo on which company and disccuss the whole conflict of interest issue
the difference being?
your presuming that the electors actually have a choice but then again you probably think we are living in a democracy

You can't search 3 letter words.
Who gives a toffee what he's written on other threads? You yourself claimed he'd done so on this thread.
Even your insults are scarcely worthy of being called mediocre!
And yet...
Well, isn't it odd how no-one else who read that "insult" took it in the same context as you did?
That couldn't be because you;re warping what was meant to fit your own agenda, could it?
Does asking whether you've taken your largactyl "question your sanity"?
Or was it me saying "you're talking babbling shite, calm down"?
As only you have taken it as me questioning your sanity, perhaps you might just have your head up your arse, eh?
Which "c" word is that?just there judgement and when they have thrown there toys out of the pram as you and especially nino are apt at doing i flame grill you accordingly - i am admit that i do at least try to make the flaming a bit more entertaining for the neutrals rather than opting for the usual c word
Something you yourself do too.
Then why not make yourself clear first time out, rather than the gushing babble of shite you post and then have to clarify?
You haven't, and I haven't claimed that you have.
Same as I've never claimed to be omnipotent.
Read it again.in your book that makes you a liar!
Well and good if you also apply your rules to yourself.
I haven't got a sodding clue what you're on about with Johnny Rotten, and I don't particularly care. I've also told you that I have no psychic abilities and have never claimed to be omnipotent, but have it your own way.
Of course I do, and of course you don't, brasic.
(That's sarcasm, by the way).
Actually, I wouldn't.wouldnt you like to know then you could be a bit more creative as opposed to using the c word

Talking about young up and coming politicians, has anybody heard about the 17 year old SWP member who will work with the government in the Young Muslim Advisory Group?
This says a lot about the current state of the SWP. We have a privately educated member (who says her religion is "most important thing in my life") working with the government on furthering divisive multiculturalism.
The vanguard of the working class my arse.

As you can probably guess, the BNP have picked up on it claiming it "proves" New Labour is Marxist.
I know she's only 17 but surely it shows that the idea of recruiting "the best militants from the class" is a load of bullshit. They couldn't give a monkeys who they recruit.
