    Tried the same myself… “How much of a toff are you Paxman? How much do we pay you?”

    I don’t think it will get through the censors so I can have my say. I don’t usually get a say on HYS.

    You have been referred to the mods, I quite often find there are some very nasty people (who I suspect are labour stooges) posting spiel and referring anything against them – if they actually remove something then I may be interested

    Was the first post referred and passed?

    As I write, the second two have been cleared but the last two are still referred. Just how long does it take to deal with each referral?

    “Mr Paxman (Malvern), Mr Marr (Loretto), Ms. Harman (St Paul’s)…

     The Left’s nauseating hypocrisy over Eton Tories”

     (by Stephen Glover, ‘Daily Mail’)

    [Extract]:

    “On Monday night, Jeremy Paxman had a titanic clash with Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, on BBC2’s Newsnight.
    “Mr Paxman tried to insinuate that David Cameron and Mr Johnson, who overlapped by a year at Oxford, had enjoyed immensely rarefied existences as Old Etonians and members of the Bullingdon Club while at the university.
    “The truth is that socially and financially Mr Paxman inhabits very much the same neck of the wood as Mr Johnson. He attended Malvern College, a public school whose fees are almost as astronomic as Eton’s.
    “As Mr Johnson made a splash at Oxford, so Mr Paxman cut a very elegant figure at Cambridge.
    “Mr Paxman’s annual BBC salary (which he refused to disclose on the programme, but is believed to be some £1million) is about twice as large as Mr Johnson’s emoluments, and enables him to run a country house and keep a home in London. ”
