I may well be incredibly stupid, but how can the likes of Tristram Hunt, a privileged boy of of the Blairite school, be any sort of socialist representative for the parents of todays' schoolchildren ?
As the newly appointed shadow Secretary of State for Education, Hunt is the man to whom parents unhappy with the current state of our education system are expected to look. Given that he is the son of a Labour Peer who went to Westminster School and himself went to an independent (= private) school, how can he be expected to have a clue about ordinary people and their educational needs ? Today, he's been making statements about various things to do with education but it's all smoke and mirrors to say the least; at worst it's a load of total bollocks.
Why is it that so many of the Labour hierarchy, who claim to be so connected with "the people" are from such privileged backgrounds ? Could it be that there is a load of money to be made from being a politician, whether it is local or national ? Socialism is a wonderful thing as long as you only profess
it for others; God forfend that you don't practice it for yourself.
