Tory MP "infuriated" at first class rail ban

Macclesfield MP - Sir Nicholas Winterton says he's "infuriated" that he can't travel on first class trains anymore. He says it's unfair that changes brought in because of the expenses scandal might mean he has to stand up when there are no seats on busy services to London. Because of the rules, he says he's now "looking forward" to standing down as an MP at the next election. Michael Billington has more.

That Winterton fella, MP, thinks he`s something he`s not. It would make my day if I ever saw him on a train into London from the north. I shall introduce the snotty `better than thou` prick to 3rd class, where the coolies are. That`s where teeth are left on the table. Anybody ever told him he is / was a member of the House of Commons ? ie, The House of Commons ?

It's like as it will actually kill him standing up on a train......

"Class war is dead" no it is not.

A Tory balloon - over-inflated, supercilious and vacuous!

Needs bursting - preferably with a first-class pin.

Bloated, overfed twit.

Just a normal thieving jobsworth politician...

Some body may want to remind this geriatric PRICK !

FAT WANKER !

Mr Winterton Sir, I wonder if you may wish to partake in the eating of my week old decomposing shite that I have kept in a bag for you to munch during your obviously distressing journey.

You fat cunt!

Standard class? having to listen to earphone music, dirty seats through the young putting their feet on them, cans of lager. No wonder Winterton wants the choice of 1st class.
