He stood up in the Commons as a Tory MP and defended the Poll Tax.
He also, in his speech when he lost his seat in 1997, used to attack his opponent's sexuality.
He was outed a short time after.
The man is a cunt.

openly attacking Twiggs queerity? That is indeed very wrong. I am aware of the famous moment. Bit rich coming from him I guess.
I do not have enough info to form an opinion tbh.

You realise that it was the Poll Tax wot finished off Thatcher?

It was wrong to implement it at the time, but is there really no way you could ever accept any politician showing support for flat tax?
Its not something I support but it hardly figures with the Nazi's.
That to me is only that kind of thing that is "indefensible".

They weren't democratic, in the sense that they accepted the electorates right to not vote for them at a future election.

They were voted in to power.
They had an elected mandate.
How many ways do you want me to say it?

To be democratic, you need to relive in the continued existence of the system.

So there was a mandate for their policies. They took part in a democratic election and won.

It was constructed specifically to hit the poor far harder than the rich and was meted out to the Scots a year early as punishment for not supporting Thatcher.
Defend that, you testicle-brained nitwit.

That isn't true, It was tested on Scotland to see if it was viable, and also because Scottish Businesses had actually pressured the government to introduce it to make running their enterprises more easily. It was. Also, I notice that Scots hated Thatcher so much that until 1997 the Conservatives were the clear second largest party in Scotland, and always got a percentage of the vote in the Mid to High 20's.
Yes, Scotland is disistrested in the Tories, the numbers suggest that was Majors fault for opposing devolution in the late 90's.
I can't support the fact that it took money away from the less well off in the UK. But I can defend peoples right to hold the opinion that because they were one person living in a house or whatever, the poll tax was good for them and the government had a right to impose it.
That will be my last political post today.

Facts don't lie.
the Scottish Tories
1979- 32%, 83- 29%, 87- 24%, 92- 26%, 97- 18%.
97 is when the vote collapsed. They had 12 MPs until 92, even at their lowest.
Even if everyone else in Scotland despised them, and I won't argue with that, they had a base that was in % terms larger than Labour's base in England.
Bye.

I would say that even though every single policy of theirs I detest logically, emotionally, and rationally (as a right-liberal rather than a left authoritarian), they have a right to hold them and there would be nothing inherently evil about them, just wrong on a utilitarian level.

if it were imposed in a nation with very high personal wealth.
There is not anything Inherently logistically or morally wrong with ALL flat taxes everywhere.
The Poll tax was wrong for the UK, does not mean that its imposition was devoid of good faith or reason, or that it could not work elsewhere.

And the poll tax was doubly unfair in that households with more people in them paid more, as it was a per head tax.

It's a long running joke in high level chef circles that Oliver has never had a Michelin Star.
He's a fat tongued, mockney, Toploader-liking, spittle-spraying cunt.

He was on that, telling them all that he'd put his house on the line, his restaurants, everything, and that if 15 failed he was fucked. Skint. Ruined. Bankrupt.
He was doing Sainsbury's advertising campaigns at the time.

It's hardly the worst bullshit anyone has said for TV, if it even was at all. Fifteen has cost absolute millions, it doesn't mean he could front that sort of cash himself at that point in time... nobody here knows what his money was at the time.
Besides, he was probably told to say so on account of the whole "Good for TV" thing.

It's about making tasty every day food and getting the public to enjoy cooking again.
If I had to choose between eating at home with Jamie or one of the Roue brothers, then I know who I'd choose.

I'm all about passion for food. You have a passion for food and that's more important than what it looks or to a certain extent tastes like. If I visited rural France, I would rather have a home cooked dinner than one of those fancy restaurants.

1) He has a lovely family, who he treats right, and they do well out of him
2) He's bought an entire revival of home-cooking to the homes of a lot of people
3) Ok, he's not star worthy in the slightest, but that is far from everything, and it _can_ be depriemental... look at how many resturants go under within the first two years of getting a star. Suddenly people think they have to book to get in.
4) His books and shows are actually very good.
5) His campaigning, not only schools but for troubled youths, is exactly what this country needs.
Ok, if I was given a chance to go to any resturant for free in london/uk/world/etc, he wouldn't be even in the top 5... and the meal I got at Recipease was very disapointing (but the pasta lesson was amazing)... but as a person and to a lesser extent a cook, I think he's a great man.
