It's all about keeping the plebs out of power and unable to move up socially. I'd rather our society was based upon ability rather than parenthood.

not always liked what he comes out with, but he can be straight talking.
and without gong off topic even once stuck up for Tony Blair on a live tv interview saying his party would have done the same and gone into Iraq, backing America up, thats why i dont hold Blair personaly responsable, he just happend to be PM at the time, what gets me even though we got it wrong big time we still haven't leaned any lessons with the Arab world.
Call me a cynic but the resignation is nothing to do with the cuts to vulnerable people. He'd been merrily doing it for years and his fundamental beliefs are to protect the rich & screw the poor, they always have been. This is designed to inflict maximum damage on Cameron & Osbourne and to position himself firmly in the 'out' corner of the EU referendum.

What I would do, is scrap tuition fees, making university education easier to access for people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The only way that's possible is to significantly reduce the amount of university places.
Which may be no bad thing, but still.

Hopefully when the academy system is in full swing across the country then the standard of education will move upward rather than the levelling down since the introduction of comprehensives.

In theory Morecambe High School as an academy could sell all its land, transfer the money to the holding trust and shove in an offshore bank account with the public not seeing a penny.
Allegations of criminal conspiracy
UKIP has gone further. As The Canary previously reported, a Channel 4 News investigation unearthed evidence that the Conservatives overspent in three key by-elections they fought against UKIP. Since then, Channel 4 has found evidence that one of the 24 MPs covered in The Mirror‘s investigation, Craig Mackinlay, failed to declare at least £21,151 in expenses, including accommodation and campaign buses, in his general election campaign. Mackinlay ended up beating Nigel Farage by 2,812 votes in Thanet South.

Could he have been elected illegally?

I liked him at face value, talked to him about Morecambe and the empty shops, the motorway link road, Fracking whom we both are in favour of with the N/W being one of the richest areas in Europe and the reason why oil prices being so low with USA producing their own gas due to the success with Fracking.
was also talking about these Junior Docters and the NHS, I put my point to him about doing away with the health service and doing away with it, and people having a tax reduction and taking their own health insurance out like in Australia and USA, problem solved.
I felt he was open, but you can tell he's very career minded.

nah, quite the opposite, compared to what others were saying to him, made me look like somebody who was prepared to listen, and respect the opinion of others.Keith wrote:George Dawes wrote:i met David Morris in the Midland hotel last night, chatted to him about politics for a good hour.

He probably thought you were far too right wing for him...
