    His parents were a GP and owned a pharmacy. They just didn’t get it for him/them for whatever reason.

    They certainly could have afforded it if they wanted to.

    There’s a massive difference between just not having something as a child and not even being able to afford it at all.

    I love these Tory twat stories where they try to relate to normal people. They’re so far off the mark it highlights just how clueless they are about real life.

      Sky wasn’t even launched until he was 9. So a big chunk of his childhood it wouldn’t have even been possible to get sky.

      Loads of people - probably most people - didn’t have Sky. When did shoveling cash at Murdoch become some sort of minimum entry level for society? Not having a TV would be vaguely interesting, but not having Sky means nothing
