If ever you're in pain don't ask him to walk on your back!

Why?

Firstly, because they we're free to vote for whovever.

Secondly, they, like many others of us, were stupid.

I usually find that when someone says a question is stupid they either haven't understood the question or can't answer or both. Incidentally, I don't understand why wealthy people vote labour either, but as there are far fewer of them it doesn't make a whole load of difference to the overall result of an election.

But I suppose if you haven't read past the first line you wouldn't know that, and this from the person who suggested that I should "keep my gob shut" on another post because I hadn't read everything on it. You haven't even read my post. You haven't answered the question either.

Don't need to, this thread is 2 years old its been said over and over again, maybe just maybe they they can see through the facade that is Labour, good on rhetoric poor on action, they promise so much but give so little and even that's at a cost

Re: The Tories

Besides, in reality, the whole simplistic traditional class/voting labels were blown off in the explosion, of May 1979.

Totally agree Rindi, the most well heeled MP in the house of commons is by no means a Tory, Sean Woodward, the Rt Honourable member for St. Helens, has £1.35m in London a £7m pad in Hamptons and as just acquired a £5m Villa in Mustique, oh and he has a butler too:rolleyes:

However I fear the history books will record her as being the post-war Prime Minister...with the biggest bollocks.

Well she certainly had more than anybody since

That we can't help.

I would question the morals of supposedly left of centre politicans to educate their ofspring, outside the state education system, as the many do now.

Re: The Tories

Perhaps it's for 'security issues'.

The same 'security issues' that would be weakened if their expenses were made public, and which resulted in them fighting tooth and nail to prevent that from ever happening.

Although I can't remember reading of multi-millionaire Paul McCartey's kids being kidnapped, as they walked home from their comprehensive schools.
