You did a bit, but I think we get where you’re coming from;)
I’m only a year younger than you and I just don’t remember things being so bad under the Conservatives even in the recession. I suppose it was why I voted them in again.
I was always in work whenever I wanted to be, I did lose my job on a couple of occasions but always had another one within a week or two, dole was never an option, it was only about £22 per week! I didn’t earn much but seemed to have enough to live on.
I’m moving on from Conservatives now because I don’t feel that much will change fundamentally if they do come to power, there will still be a ridiculous amount of political correctness, health and safety directives banning people from carrying out simple tasks, yob culture (I blame the Conservatives for this anyway with their banning of corporal punishment) and discriminatory laws amongst a whole raft of stuff that really grinds me down about the UK.
