It is undoubtably 'socialist hypocrisy' in the context of this article but I suspect that it is more prevalent on the right, your point being, perhaps, that it's not hypocrisy in those cases because the right doesn't preach fairness - that may not be hypocritical but it is equally unfair.<br />Vroomfondelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502448843409791872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5033865397341905972.post-82870505124012513712014-08-19T15:18:12.953+01:002014-08-19T15:18:12.953+01:00Personally I think it just stinks of socialist hyp...Personally I think it just stinks of socialist hypocrisy. It also happens in 'broadcasting' where the children of the famous are given TV shows as though hereditary factors make them better qualified than other children.

His father somehow became the governor of the Punjab in Pakistan after leaving the Commons in 2010 .... should people with foreign nationality even be allowed to be MP's in the UK?Kennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5033865397341905972.post-73084586047139578792014-08-16T13:50:59.399+01:002014-08-16T13:50:59.399+01:00I agree, and not wishing to condone nepotism, it i...I agree, and not wishing to condone nepotism, it is a very natural, human practicality. One may equally lament one's father not being a baker when hoping to make and sell cakes for a living. <br />As normal and inevitable as it may be in other businesses, it's not acceptable practice in public office, because unlike a bakery, a public office doesn't belong to the incumbent.Vroomfondelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502448843409791872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5033865397341905972.post-64587980927837028992014-08-16T10:43:51.156+01:002014-08-16T10:43:51.156+01:00It must be annoying for those who don't have t...It must be annoying for those who don't have the family connections (or work in the PM's private office), and who want to be a MP. What is the point if friends and family of the elite can be parachuted in to the vacancies? I believe that nepotism, cronyism and corruption are terms that cover the situation. Kennoreply@blogger.com
