For me there is only one party I would vote for and that is Labour.

I agree with Graham Jones's post. I have lived through too many Tory governments to ever want to see another one. It is very important to remember what Thatcher did to this country, she set out to break the industrial infrastructure and succeeded. Remember this was the woman who said 'There is no such thing as society' - like all Tories she was only interested in helping people with money, and I doubt she knew that Britain existed north of Watford.

When people of Graham's age left school there was no work for them unless they were prepared to work on a YTS course, for a pittance. Also they knew that after 12 months they would be discarded by their employers because another fresh batch of cheap labour would be available. It is a tribute to the generation, now in there mid 30's and early 40's, that so many of them have managed to succeed despite Thachter.
