Never saw Andy at all over this atrocity, where was he hiding?
No-one should be fooled by this piece of crap pretending to be a Labour politician. In 'old speak', he is what used to be known as a 'champagne socialist' but the labels are unimportant; by their deeds and the friends they keep, ye shall know them.
Burnham, like a number of others of his ilk, is a 'Blairite' if we need to use lables. That means his political ideals and objectives are a million miles away from those of Jeremy Corbyn or the brilliant Nye Bevan of the early 1950s.
Being a member of parliament is a fantastically lucrative, part-time occupation and this 21st century has seen the rise of the professional politician - people with no firm beliefs on anything important and absolutely no empathy or compassion for their fellow man. It's all about them and how best they can maximise their income in a whole variety of ways they never even dreamed possible before entry into 'The best club in London'.
In order to retain their massive salary + expenses package with its unbelievably generous pension provision, they will say, and do, whatever is expedient in order to hang on to their cushy little number. They get away with it because most people are too busy just trying to survive and do the best for their family to actually look closely at what their parliamentary representative is actually saying and doing in the chamber and in the lobbies.
Whenever challenged about any strange, unusual or unexpected vote on a major issue, these parasites attempt to excuse themselves by stating they felt obliged to vote in accord with their conscience. At that point, they should be forced to stand down as they are no longer doing what they are supposed to be doing. Their conscience can never come before the will or aspirations of the people they profess to represent. Ipso facto, democracy just went out the window!
I could go on for hours about the hypocrisy of these apparently, 'salt of the earth', people's champion, northern politicians who represent very few in the formerly industrialised north of England, apart from those in the nouveau riche hotspots and only then because it feels a rebellious, kind of hip thing to do for the thickos whose fortunes arose solely from kicking a football about and having some brilliant tattoos over more than half their body.
To be fair, there are a few 'dhown saarf' who are just as bad but it seems that the north, with its traditional 'grass roots' Labour constituencies, have seen more that their fair share of these failed 'Blairites' masquerading under the Labour Party banner desperate to gain power, whatever they have to say to achieve that.
It's quite incredible down here in Spain to witness some of the morons who, last year, thought it was a brilliant, patriotic thing to do voting for 'Brexit', now having second thoughts and in some cases, already sold up and retreated back from whence they came. Look around at the Brits in any bar or cafe and it seems the only newspapers available are the Sun and the Daily Mail. That reflects the level of intellect of those who migrated away from the UK to live in the sun rather than any unavailability of alternative news organs.
Other examples of this modern breed of amoral, self-aggrandising professional politicians are the wholly talentless married couple of ex-MP, Ed Balls and his other half, Yvette Cooper. One of the vanguard of this anti-socialist gang of infiltrators operating under a false flag is the despicable ex-MP, Jack Straw, who has always had a difficulty about his Jewish descent, spending his whole parliamentary career in denial, to the chagrin of many Jewish people in Britain.
There are no depths to which these sham politicians will not plunge in order to further improve their public image and/or wealth enhancement.
Sorry Croxden........what was the question again?
