He'll probably do that anyway though, regardless of whether it's as leader or not.
I wonder if his mad economic skillz with which he'll do that rooting out are the same ones he used to privatise Royal Mail, and for a song at that.
Royal mail sold at £4.50
Royal mail share price today £4.16
Don't let facts get in the way of your mindless insults its fun to just have a go at someone personally without addressing any arguments. Thought of standing as a kipper candidate?
The thing is, you're not dealing in facts yourself. The shares were sold at £3.30 each, not £4.50, though they jumped to above that level after a single day's worth of trading. So, aside from the stupidity of privatising it in the first place, it was sold for a song, as an additional kick in the teeth.
Perhaps you can raise the matter at your next garden party with Vince?
