THE KING OVERSEAS

I can’t believe the BBC are STILL droning on about David Miliband as he leaves the UK to spend more time with his ego. I think it may be a topic for Any Questions this week. A Reader posted this and I think it fairly well sums up BBC coverage.

“I don’t know if you’ve heard but there has been a massive news story in the UK just recently. A man left his job in politics to go to another job which isn’t in politics, working for an organisation that very few people had ever heard of before this man went to work for them. If you haven’t heard the news the Communications and PR representatives of the New Labour Party have been covering the story in some depth. It’s so important it warrants more than 10  er ‘news stories’ on their website!

    Yes, it’s been a ridiculous overreaction to non event of half-rate has been changing jobs. Mind you he was New Labour so no doubt the best of somethingorother we’ve ever had.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if the whole thing had been contrived for the media coverage.

    “Labour MP steps down to pursue selfless, caring career with charity.”

    Woos the female voters you see, those whose caring natures make them particularly gullible for this kind of tactic.

    Is his charity work unpaid? I doubt it. The man has never really had a proper job so I doubt the charity one will be much different.

    300,000 salary? Its a promotion from being a mere passenger on a gravy train to being one of its drivers.
    http://www.rescue.org/
    Apparently he claims he is qualified to drive this gravy train “because my own parents were refugees” However he will still take the money – much better when its a personal mission.

    Yes, pater Milliband, Adolphe Miliband, was a Belgian-born Jew who fled the Nazi’s unlike six million others who lacked the opportunity to flee. “Ralph” is now buried in Highgate Cemetery close to Karl Marx, his spiritual mentor, whose theories killed at least 30 million by the hand of Russia’s Marxist-inspired leaders.

    So Milliband minor is ideally placed to know a lot about being a refugee, that is, running away rather than bravely fighting. I think we are well rid of this privileged member of New Labour priesthood. BBC hacks may weep. I feel sorry for the rest of the world, awaiting for Milliband to rescue them, many probably from revolutionary Marxists.

        Leftist greed is simply the reverse side of their envy.

        Their father was a “nasty piece of work” if the accounts which I have read are anything to go by – so presumably they got their ethics from their father.

    I think the BBC are still hurt that he did not win the leadership election, they know they (Labour) would have won the 2015 election with David.

    Such is the nature of Labour Party that, as it did with Mandelson, Labour would bring the unelected D. Miliband back into power:-

    “Miliband: I’ll bring David back”

    I always have a problem trying to decide which of the Miliband leeches is worst. Which is the most pretentious, which is the most inexperienced in the real world, which is the fugliest,

    I suppose Ef takes it. He seems to be the nastiest.
