Jeremy Kyle viewers!

 

I'm genuinely puzzled that he feels the need to post photos of himself on the internet for others to see, or indeed that anyone would be interested (or indeed that anyone would post anything about the mundane aspects of their life on the internet).

What next, Osbourne on the bog having the resulting McDump?

One thing Mr Cameron apparently said that was correct: 'Too many Tweets makes a ****'

 

Byron actually do a very good burger though one does prefer Hache when in London

You really are a prize plank and need to grow up.

If you really think this is an issue I'm sorry to say you have sh7t for brains

 

I had a burger tonight.

I wish I'd taken a photo.

 

What's the problem here???

He's just put £10 of his own money back into the economy, simples!

 

Have to say this is pathetic news,the guy has a ten quid meal.Most fast food places you will pay a similar price,i had a double bacon burger and chips at the OK Diner £8.95 with a 330ml bottle of magners was some like £2.30

 

Anyone see this from Eric Pickles on twitter yesterday? (the pic)

Genius

 

Much fallout?

 

I wonder if he will claim on his expenses.

 

The original picture before the photoshop.

Ha! Nicely done.
I'm still a state in shock finding out Pickles actually has a sense of humour.

 

it's only funny because it's true

 

working meal, I would in his place

 

....and then do a switch and claim on an even more expensive meal that he didn't have....whilst sitting in his moat house.....watching p0rn on Sky.....working on a speach which he will charge through his tax efficient media company.....

 

EFA

 

Wiped clean with Tesco Everyday Value toilet roll?

 

Can I get p0rn on Sky??

 

EPG 900-942.

But UK law (BBFC and Ofcom) means no gratuitiousness i.e. bereft of open beavers and close-ups of frigging, etc. lol.

It's ****e. Damn to our Victorian values hangover! Grrr!

 

being serious for a minute, off course Osborne is out of touch with the average man/family, it would be madness to think otherwise

absolute madness if you think he could relate to someone living on anything approximating the average wage

forget making anything resembling a valued judgement on the man, it is simple common sense

I would not (and do not) blame him for it

his idea of someone struggling, is the pressure of finding 30k every term for school fees

and it is a struggle, believe me, for many people - and also believe me when I say, George knows people who know people, that struggle to find that sort of money every 3 months (and still find the cash for a skiing holiday)

 

Not sure I agree Hodgy. I'm not talking about Osborne in particular as I'm sure you aren't either and your post refers to anybody from a 'privileged' background.

It is not true imho that such a person cannot empathise with people from different economic or social backgrounds.

If you have the right kind of personality and upbringing you can be the sort of person who has insight into the problems and challenges of people vastly different to yourself.

Similarly you can have people who once came from 'nothing' and because they catapulted up the economic ladder they quickly forget what it was like to be poor.

To me it's a cheap leftie jibe to suggest that the likes of Cameron, Osborne etc cannot possibly understand 'the common man'

Particularly as these jibes often come from people who themselves have had a fairly privileged upbringing.

 

well, I think I sort of am, tbh, -- but I take your general point re people from a 'privileged' background.

as I said, I don't blame him/them for it

and to call it a "lefty" point is a bit of an easy hit, I think it is human nature to a large extent

Because, I would also say that someone earning a take home pay of 2 or 3k a month would struggle to understand how someone would find it difficult to “make do” on 8 or 10 k a month (which is at the lower end of the scale needed to make ends meet these days)

but just as I don’t blame Osborne, I don’t really blame them

but we know it can be (riding, tennis, squash, sailing, skiing, ballet, football, clarinet, guitar, piano lessons - and that's just the wife)

we see jealousy and disbelief it on these very pages, people complaining about bankers/footballer pay/bonuses

btw, my father went bankrupt in the 70's when it was both financially and socially frowned upon - I know what it is like to have the gas board digging the pavement outside you house to disconnect you

 

What sort of planet are you on? 90% of the population don't make £100k.

 

I'd assume it was either a typo and referring to an annual wage (most low earners get a wage - not a salary), or a pretty bad joke

 

And all this bollox from people who drive one of the most uneconomical and costly-to-run cars on the planet! Hypocrisy rules

 

It's not a typo but I'll let Hodgy explain himself

 

I'm sure he will but there's no need as it really doesn't interest me enough, Ding

 

I'm not really interested in 90% of the population, I never meet them (socially) neither does George

for the idiots out there, that is my point

 

I don't meet 90% of the population either but I don't think that someone on a 'mere' 50k per year is below my social standing.

 

whatever TDW
