Gayle, it isn't just a question of not voting for them because people didn't like Thatcher. If you look at the history of working men and women througout the 20th century (and earlier centuries), it has always been the Tories who tried to keep them oppressed. So it really is a no brainer never to trust a Tory.
In May 1955 - I was 9 years old and there was a General Election - Harold Macmillan was saying ' You have never had it so Good'. Because I was a curious child I asked my father what the difference was between the Labour Party and the Conservatives, he told me about the 20's and 30's, and said that the Conservatives only looked after people with money. I have never forgotten this and as I have grown older nothing I have seen has ever given me cause to doubt these words.
