Ed Miliband said the phrase "one nation" 46 times during his conference speech on Tuesday. We know. We counted. If you don't have an hour to watch the whole thing, here it is, distilled to its purest essence.

one asian?

I think we have lots more than one, and they're great an all, but they didn't win the war. I do think it would be good to have a PM that is 'of colour' though.

Or did I misunderstand ? ;)

You know Dizzy is a quite treasure throve when it comes to quotes. From our collective memory, D'Israeli said that he managed to climb 'the greasy pole to the Conservative leadership' and hoped Gt Britain would become a 'property-owning democracy'.
How long was it that young Dave spent climbing his way to the top post in the Tory Party? David Davies knows - but don't ask him if you want to remain in one piece.
Property-owning democracy? Since the Tories have come into power rack rents are back in fashion.
'Property is theft' is a quote by another David. Riccardo had no truck with anyone renting out property and making an unearned profit on it.
