To many posh lads is destroying the Tory party. Cameron has already taken membership sub 100,000. Is he trying to get it to below 50,000?
compouter is the only person in the country following it.
Tories asking each other which school they went to is like ordinary mortals conversing about the weather. It is merely inconsequential pleasantry.

If only he'd listen to us manufacturing chappies the economy could be at a 16 year high.

"Exclusive: PM vents fury at Gove for interview on Etonians"
That'll teach that flithy little lefty class warrior Gove. Know your place Gove.

More passion please.
Incompetent fops.
Which of these is more important:
(a) Camden Market and Boris's dad's house
(b) A direct rail link potentially connecting the following cities to the continental rail network: Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh.
Answer:
Everyone in London and SE: (a)
Everyone else: (b)
Do you post from Berkshire?
Are you still trying to make the CCHQ PR machine look competent and in touch compared to your inept spin?
I hear you are very busy these days.
@David_Cameron balling out a colleague with a legitimate point?: http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/2014/03/exclusive-pm-rebukes-michael-gove-for-too-many-etonians-comments/ … Sign of a weak leader that can't take criticism

Ironically, Cameron 'bollocking' Gove sounds like some kind of Old Etonian dorm-room hijinks: http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/2014/03/exclusive-pm-rebukes-michael-gove-for-too-many-etonians-comments/ …

Now think this was a major strategic error by Cameron: http://specc.ie/PJr3za Gove makes an egalitarian point and he stamps on it, hard.

Anyway I am in category (b) despite being a Londoner...
that's not how the rules work. Midlands factory worker has the same voting value as a london investment banker - probably more as he sits in a marginal.
Governments determine where the money flows..

Why must they mock the incompetent fops in such a disgraceful disrespectful manner?
They should really know their place by now.
Nolo contendere as antifrank would say.
Osbrowne quite possibly demanded such a 'furious' response from Cammie in an effort to slap Gove and the leadership talk down.
For breakfast he had a couple of egg white delites, 1% milk and oatmeal, for lunch a salad or two bags of apples and a fruit and yogurt parfait. For dinner he'd have one of the value meals, all included french fries.
Maybe I'l try it....
And it's not a 10 minute transfer - unless you are advocating no contingency time between trains? In reality it will add 15-30 minutes to the journey, and lots of hassle.

They are all in it together.
Nadine Dorries http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17815769 … + Michael Gove http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/e78f9402-ab61-11e3-aad9-00144feab7de.html … have made two of the most pungent + personal attacks on the PM.
Gove will need to stretch his support a just bit further than the likes of Dorries to combat Osbrowne's leadership ambitions. However, he will at least be pleased by in the incompetent response and spin from Cammie, Osbrowne and CCHQ.
I shall take my consulancy fee in cash please...
Think what it would do to GDP, Mr. Brooke.
A half-sensible party (ruling out UKIP) that understood this problem and acted, because they all talk about opportunity and equality but do sweet FA, would walk it in my opinion.
( or should that be inaction ?)
Why is it that YouGov always seem to show high Labour leads in the days running up to major Tory events?
Happens almost every time.
edit: men in grey suits watching and thinking "ha, this'll fool the oiks"
Has more than a grain of truth in it.
The inaction bit though is pure defamation.

This weekend I realised how sad my life was - was stuck at O'Hare and end up discussing the layout of Copenhagen airport with a random stranger in the queue...
It's still not worth £700m. If you're that worried about it get a cab.

However ISTR he said that he wants it looked into, and it might return as ... a double track line!

As for disruption, how much trouble has been caused by the worked around Tottenham Court Road for Croosrail ovedr the last three or four years? Are Londoners managing well enough with that?
I am old enough, just, to remember when discipline was the tory's secret weapon. It seems a long time ago.

Much more important than connecting the other major cities than Europe.

This idea of "oh it will cause disruption", hmm, I wonder how many of our Victorian forefathers thought like that?
Your point about TCR is sound.
The electrification will cost just a smidgen over the cost of the HS2<->Hs1 link ...

Some facts for you:
The Thatcher government electrified the entire East Coast Main Line.
New Labour electrified virtually f'all (actually, around 70km of track, less of route-miles)
It's also clear that it isn't just the top of the tory party where the the most amusing self-parodies of posh twerps can be found.
In any case Sir David Higgins was educated in Sydney, not Slough....
You can't surely be implying that Calamity Clegg and his 'Elvis Bus Pass' spinners are in some way a complete irrelevance? If you're not careful you'll have wee Willie Rennie and his taxi full of MSPs after you. Or the even more amusing leadership joke, sorry, leadership hopeful 'Bruiser' Carmichael.
