Quote from the above link:
"I don't have a phobia about Tories. That would suggest an irrational response. I hate them for a reason. For lots of reasons, actually. For the miners, apartheid, Bobby Sands, Greenham Common, selling council houses, Section 28, lining the pockets of the rich and hammering the poor – to name but a few. I hate them because they hate people I care about. As a young man Cameron looked out on the social carnage of pit closures and mass unemployment, looked at Margaret Thatcher's government and thought, these are my people. When all the debating is done, that is really all I need to know"This is so true. Having lived through that, I really can't understand how anyone would associate themselves with the Tories.
It's like Paul Weller said when Cameron declare Eton Rifles his favourire song: “Which part of it didn’t he get? It wasn’t intended as a fucking jolly drinking song for the cadet corps.”
The tories don't get other people, they get themselves. They not in politics for you or me or anyone else, they are in it for themselves because that is all they understand, all they see. It's normal to them.
