TTE



Miliband’s wife set to lose battle to stop new £5m flats

Ed Miliband’s wife and the actor Benedict Cumberbatch are set to fail in their attempt to prevent a new residential development from being built close to their north London homes...

Other residents highlighted the inclusion of external heat pumps, warning that they could generate persistent noise. One neighbour, Ruth Liebling, said the equipment would cause “constant noise pollution to nearby properties”.

Last year, Miliband’s own department said research it commissioned found that noise complaints from heat pumps were not common and that heat pumps were largely thought to be quiet.



It's not that we should make the mistake of assuming this was Ed Miliband's protest, but perhaps it still allows us to refer to him as TTE, or Two Tier Ed. 

Yet maybe Mad Ed is still preferable. That's modern political life - so many appropriate names but politically 'Mr Miliband' just doesn't hit the mark.

With any luck the new accommodation will be allocated to our poor refugees who have fled from terrible countries like France. They deserve the chance to see how this nation enables even the lowest to climb the greasy pole.
Nah! Be sensible.

"Weird Ed". Or "Wrong in the Ed." Or "Ed Case".

Ed the Zealot?

Doonhamer - a pity it's so improbable, that would test Ed.

dearieme - ha ha, it has to be Ed Case.

DJ - Eddie the Zealot sounds like a very dodgy evangelist.

The reason why the Left are so often accused of hypocracy, is that their strong ideologies are constantly being tripped up by reality.
