Do you think it was being a member of the Trotskyist, human face of the hard left that did it? If so shouldn't we all join?

What precisely is your point AL?

Labour's greatest ever leader, the one who did more than any other PM for the working class was Clem Attlee. He was from a wealthy upper middle class background. He went to private school and Oxford Uni.

Labour's worst ever PM was Ramsay MacDonald. He was a disaster as PM, then took half the Labour MPs into a coalition with the Tory party that oversaw the horrors of the Great Depression. He was from a dirt-poor background, the bas**rd son of a Scottish crofter.

Remind me what your point was.

The point is going out of the way to hide it. Why bother?

clue click on the link and it's self explanatory  :facepalm:

note where the email addresses are from a place called "London" that used to be part of the UK. The 2021 will reveal a" new" "majority" of dwellers there
remember lawyers are people who also argue things they don't believe in

You're making the massive assumption that it's true. It obviously hasn't crossed your mind that it keeps getting removed because it isn't.

having checked what wikipedia said in November 2019 the word millionaire wasn't there it is blatantly obvious his net assets including anything put in "trust" is "in 7 figures"

From 1 June 2016 until 30 September 2016, I received £4,500 (excluding VAT) a month for legal advice provided to the Mishcon de Reya Academy, Africa House, 70 Kingsway, London WC2B 6AH. Hours: approx. 6 hrs per month. (Registered 22 June 2016; updated 10 October 2016) 

that's £750 per hour

does anybody realise the significance of "Mishcon de Reya"

Just to put this into context, Boris Johnson earns (sic) £275,000 per year for writing one column per week for the Telegraph.

He described that income as "chicken feed".

Still, I'm sure he's understands ordinary folks' lives...
