I actually can't be bothered to argue with you
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.

But with Labour the lazy seem to get rewarded
and the hardworking punished

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?

like I said
I don't know enough about it all to argue with a hardcore Labour fan, this is why I've so far been avoiding the political discussions on b3ta.

I'm very far from a hardcore Labour fan.

I haven't read all your political posts, I just assumed that from what you were saying about the other parties.

what do you call privileged?
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
