Whilst I appreciate your view, myself and my family suffered under the Tories. It is very hard trying to bring up a family when your income is drastically cut.
There was so much real financial hardship caused by the poll tax, I will always remember a man who I worked with breaking down in tears because he had no idea how he would pay the 1st year's bills. He was a tough ex soldier, with a wife and 3 small children, who came to work on a bike to save money. The only way he could pay the bill was for them to eat less food. He was worried he would be taken to court for being poor.
It is thing like this that make you hate the Tories.
Also the stupid YTS schemes. which exploited youg workers then consigned them to the scrapheap after 2 years because there was a another new supply to take on.
