You could be educated at Eton, Darren, and from depleted noble family. What people are objecting to is that you’ve been referred to the Met for electoral crimes – cheating democracy. https://t.co/lxH9TzWb4b

It's not your education or lack of it that concerns us. It's your honesty or lack of it.

A lot of people come from various backgrounds Darren, most have not undermined democracy to try to ensure many experience similar hardship in the future

Twitter user, @joelymack, decided to outdo him in the poverty stakes.

I only went to school once a month, my 47 siblings and I had to rotate, only one of us could leave the shoebox at a time or we'd lose our spot. That was until hunger got so bad I was forced to eat the weaker ones. Survival of the fittest – tough times. I feel ya Daz. https://t.co/TkcJS5IXER

If you’re going to cry poverty, at least do it properly, like these guys.
