because we made sweets to mark the occasion, which I thought were called Ede. When I moved to a different school and suggested that Ede was a delicious baked item I think I remember being mocked quite severely.

it's their inability to grasp that savage spending cuts and less restrictions on banks and financial services will lead the country back into a recession. It's been 18 months since any of the big private housebuilders have started new projects and it's finally creeping back. I really don't want to be unemployed as I like my job and I like my house, and if they get in there is a very good chance that my company will go bust.

I can appreciate your viewpoint though it doesn't change mine. I'm just tired of everybody around me squawking about Thatcher whenever the Tories come up in conversation

I actually agree with most of their economic policy (bar a few things) and I do like their social policies. It makes sense to me, and I genuinely feel that of the three current parties they make the most sense

I think they're far better than Labour. If I was in a constituency where they might beat Labour I would vote for them. But I'm in Manchester were the proles all think the sun shines out of Labour's arse.
I want the Green party to win though.

but I think overall they care more about doing the world some good than the other parties. I don't know enough about it to really get in a fight with hardcore Labourites, but I like the Tories and I would be happy if they won.

But I suspect that you are in a relatively privileged position and think that it is possible for people to work their way up from nothing to any position they want, but with the Conservative social policy all that happens is the rich keep getting richer and the poor stay in the gutter.

For one thing Labour brought in the minimum wage, the Tories were opposed to this measure and said it would destroy the economy. The conservatives were the ones that deregulated the banks and building societies. When Labour brought in new regulations the conservatives opposed them, saying they would destroy the city. Now the regulations were not stringent enough, but how much worse would the banking fuck up have been without the regulations we had?

Yeeeeah because Labour has really narrowed the gap between the rich and the poor haven't they? And the Lib Dems are totally the party of the disadvantaged. And actually the whole point of their education policy is geared towards more equal opportunities- the chance for poorer kids to get a decent education. Labour has made it convenient to simply refuse to work and still have an alright standard of living, while fucking the middle class over

I doubt that many people have been born with an extra leg, while lots have lost one or both legs in accidents, so the average is only almost 2 legs
