Lets face it, Ed Balls comment was silly, right through life you will win some,loose some and the sooner you accept that the better for you.And when you win one, someone else has lost one!Doesn't stop us trying to win, does it?
He was a looser in the leadership election, he's still operating, isn't he?

The quote is totally out of context and not what Ed Balls meant - so David Cameron is guilty of editing the words to change the meaning - taken out of context.

No it wasn't out of context! Both their comments were about free schools, Ed Balls saying it would create winners and loosers, Cameron saying what was wrong with creating winners.Even Balls didn't dare go so far as we shouldn't have loosers, just that it was 'unfortunate'.

Since when has that been an issue for Politicians ! They're all doing it regardless of party, they'll seize a phrase spouted by one of their opponents, turn it, twist it, or cherry pick the best subject matter that gives them a point scoring opportunity, why does that shock & surprise you Kestrelx ?

It doesn't suprise me at all, it's just a very obvious example of it at it's worst - they are all devious. Also notice at the first P.M.'s question time he wouldn't answer Ed Milliband's question about the Child Allowance cuts .

And at the end of all their political posturing and points scoring, we are supposed to believe they have the countries best interests at heart not there own.
