  • "Thank you,LSC. You took the words right out of my mouth!!! Arthur's nonsense about cap-doffing is pathetic and the ramblings of an obviously bitter old man. I've never doffed my cap to anyone in my life but, then, I am not eaten up with class hatred and envy, as poor old Arthur clearly is. The sort of tripe he spouts is redolent of the old 1950s-style Communist Party (whatever happened to them?).

    As you so rightly point out, people are NOT born equal, never have been and never will be, for the simple reason that everyone is born with different degrees of intelligence, skills, talents and ability to assimilate education. It's up to all of us to make the best we can of what we are born with, and that's what I've tried to do all my life, advancing myself, my career and my lifestyle little by little. I concede I was fortunate to be born with a fair modicum of intelligence and literary skills, but I made the best of what I had, climbing my way up the greasy pole. I expect that's what Cameron's father thought he was doing for his children when he took advantage of a few tax dodges!

    I note Arthur neglects to answer my previous point, while he rambles on and on about the iniquitous wealthy, he has nothing to say at all when I challenge him on the subject of whether it's right that thick and dim footballers (all working classes to a man and therefore presumably Arthur's heroes) should earn more in a single year than the vast majority of ordinary people will earn in an entire lifetime. Nor does he have anything to say about the rock and pop stars who pull in inordinate amounts of money with little basic talent.

    No, poor old Arthur is clearly obsessed with the so-called upper classes and the Camerons of this world. He is riddled with class hatred, whether he admits it or not - typical old-style Left Wing lunacy.

    And a final word, Arthur: I don't grovel at anybody's feet! Why should I when my wife and I own property in several places worth around a million pounds? But, then, that is hardly unusual these days, given the steady rise in property values. It's not too difficult to be at least a paper millionaire today and there are a great many ordinary middle-class people who could say the same.

    As I keep telling you, it's an unfair world. Get used to it !!!"

New school for Rickmansworth to open in September 2013

A new secondary school for children in Rickmansworth, Mill End and Maple Cross, has been approved by the government.

The Reach Free School will open in September 2013, providing it is supported by Three Rivers District Council, and a site can be found.

Carolyn Venn, who is a governor at the new school, said: “Our thanks go to all members of the local community who have supported our application – we could not have got this far without you.”
