It's the 21st century ,we don't have servants anymore we have waiters and waitresses .Calling someone a servant is derogatory stemming from the time,not so long ago, when it was expected for the lower classes to serve the upper classes,and i'm sure the ones in the parliamentary cafes are quite offended at being lumped in with lower class people from the turn of the last century .More importantly it shows the mindset of Christopher Chope that we actually have lower classes of people in the 21st century

Re: From Plebs to servants
I think you need to get yourself a dose of reality if you think the UK government is evil. Take a look around the world, you will find some real evil.

Re: From Plebs to servants
On the one hand, Paul's quite right; this isn't evil per se. They're not evil - just thoughtless, selfish, self-obsessed, and...hmmm.
However, Marty is also right. Calling them 'servants' is derogatory, anachronistic...and sums up Tory attitudes to the 'lesser orders' perfectly and why we don't want such people in government. Such attitudes belong to the feudal society Britain originally was. Newsflash, Tory gits: we've come a long way since then!
Or I thought we had, anyway...

Luckily, no one on the forum indulges in "one size fits all" generalisations, where the actions of one, or a minority, is used to tar everyone else, because that would be over-simplistic, wouldn't it?....
