She was but she didnt preach it, at least not at first. She dangled practical carrots
And talked tough about unions.
Look, those cartel bosses have children to feed, too, you know?
It's like any other abusive relationship. The victim at least wants to be able to tell themself that
their abuser loves them, really. The odd bunch of flowers or box of chocolates after they've just bounced your head off the wall or blackened your eye makes all the difference.
Labour's problem is that it often finds it ideologically impossible to buy the flowers or chocolates because it sort of feels that their victims deserve it for being middle class.
This puts people off.
Woman, though. Different matter entirely. I Imagine it's why chaps like to do the cooking nowadays.
For you it's a purely practical matter of being hungry and wanting to eat something nice. For *her*, it's "ideologically important to not be expected to cook.
Which is why Maggie doing a fry-up for those builders that time was such a cool move. Or HMQ fixing lavatories way back when.
All true. I take umbrage that these unwashed lefty types should have it in for you.
I was better off under Labour too. At least until the crash. And the redundancy.
I don’t know if I’d give them credit for that though, in the same way that I wouldn’t blame the current lot for me being one of the millions working shorter hours for less money in the post-crash bumping-along-the-bottom economy. I honestly have no idea whether the economy would be doing better or worse had Labour won the last election.
Yes, yes, but what about the poor
Well, one has to step over them, naturally.
*On* them, ordinarily. But yes, If one is wearing the new Guccis.
Well, yeah,cthat's a sizeable shift. I am in the same job and same situation
Just ever so slightly worse off given their tax and pension changes.
Not complaining, just noting that plenty of people in the same job, same situation believe they are financially better off even though they are demonstrably not. The conservstives mansge to convince people pf this despite the evidence in their wage slips.
That is what an ineffective opposition does for you. I like the way that people in essex are not remotely bashful about admitting thst their vote is determined solely by perceived personal gain. It is quite amusing thst they camt even get that right :hehe:
