The Daily Mail vs Ed Miliband

As we all know the Daily Mail published an article written by Geoffrey Levy about Ed Miliband's dead father, claiming he hated this country.

To which Ed Miliband has come out fighting against this article claiming his father loved this country, his father enrolled in the Royal Navy saying;

'He did so because he was determined to be part of the fight against the Nazis and to help his family hidden in Belgium. He was fighting for Britain.'

Now I can absolutely understand why Ed Miliband is angry. Firstly, someone writing about a parent that has passed away, and didn't know them s, I'm sure, pretty annoying. Then claiming that that parent hated the country you want to govern would push you over the edge.

So for Ed Miliband his anger is justified, but now do the left see how hurtful it can be when you bring up someones background?

The left are always bringing up David Cameron's background, Boris Johnson's, George Osbourne's. You never hear them bring up Harriet Harman's background do you?

One rule for one hey?

No one can help where, who and how they were brought up. As a child you have no say over your life, adults make the decisions for you. 

So I hope it's a lesson for political sides out there, leave the politician's childhood out of it, as it has nothing to do with how good they can run a country.
