The traditional greeting to a new sprog born to the citizens Windsor from the great incorruptible Dennis Skinner was,
"Another bloody mouth to feed."
It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?
Has it got a name yet? What about Psamathe or Cyril Haearn or mercalia or landsurfer or thirdcrank or Vorpal or hondated or Sweep or ambodach or pastychomper &c &c I understand royal babies need several names

well hopefully he will be one of the first to have to earn his own living, by the time he is grown up all this monarchy rubbish will be history. ( Charley Boy will see to that with his quips off the old block)

Spot on, and a poor example to all & sundry.
"Overpopulation is your baby"
I think Skinner meant that the Windsors are idle parasites.

Many many years ago I used to meet and talk to a grizzled old Labour stalwart at meetings I went to (pit tip restoration). He was absolutely scathing about Skinner and his brothers who I believe still had Labour posts somewhere doing something. The word 'nepotism' was on the old veteran's lips.
I know nothing about Skinner's brothers (tho the below photo is from an article revealing they were Labour councillors in the 1970s) but it makes you wonder if Skinner's family has benefited from family associations....

Quite! It always surprises me how people will do such things,similarly the adoration of celebs and pop singers,I find these people are completely nuts and need to get a worthwhile life outlook.
As for the baby and family I hope they're healthy and happy,I'm sure they'll want for nothing,unlike families at the other end of the economic scale.
