The number of times I told him yesterday about how our pension pot is in surplus and he ignored it to tell me all about how he was subsidising my outrageous conditionsWithout trying to sound offensive or patronising it just seems like the guy looks down on folk like you and I don't see why you'd want to be mates with him.
Partridge, it's a fair point and does sound strange given what I've been saying over the last page, but outside of the political debates he is a nice guy and has been my mate for years. A lot of it is bluster as well - he says it all but it's just pure ignorance. Ill-informed rhetoric for the most part. He was trying to tell me about how Michael Gove's education reforms were spot on as well - the guy who was punted out of the inner circle for being so utterly clueless in his job
You're right with a lot of these cunts that it's just a bit of bluster but still, snobbery is one thing I really can't stand.
