Because it's always funny to see someone with a private school education doing a mediocre degree at an average uni spout this sort of nonsense when you know full well that they will be middle of the pile in the future

From your two posts, it it apparent that you seem to have a certain dislike/hatred towards someone who has attended a private school and ends up doing "a mediocre degree at an average uni". I suppose you believe everyone who is privately educated gets everything handed to them by their parents?

I find the demonisation of the "rich" so utterly hilarious. How are policies that discourage ambition in any way helpful? Many of those people are from the hard-working middle class who have worked like dogs their whole lives, planned their finances responsibly and thought about the future. How is that a bad thing?

The only people losing out on the welfare reforms are those who have no reason to be on welfare. I personally know several people sponging off the system. It's disgusting and it's evidently not a tiny minority, and it makes me sick that my taxes are being used to allow these people to sit on their arses watching daytime TV and buy drugs while people who really need benefits lose out.

Obviously austerity is **** but it's a necessity to fix Labour's mess. There is no denying that Labour overspent, so it's Labour that we have to blame.

The Tory policies also support and encourage small businesses and opportunities such as apprenticeships.

Fundamentally, I just don't feel that, as an ambitious and hard-working graduate attempting to live in London where the AVERAGE house price is half a million and most homes in the centre cost far more, Labour has anything to offer me, although I'd love to be convinced otherwise.

Some very interesting articles from Peter Hitchens, a man who is more genuinely conservative than any prominent Tory, they may change your view.

Only if by 'down' you mean massively increased.
Unless you're a millionaire YOU ARE VOTING AGAINST YOUR OWN INTEREST in favour of a few exceptionally wealthy individuals.

unless you're voting ukip, because of no tax on minimum wage and leaving the eu to support small business not big business?

I find Labour voters even more pathetic than most people probably do. If these people could spend just 10 minutes realising the world isn't against them and that opportunity is out there if they are willing to grab it (as countless others have done before) then maybe they would have less contempt for the successful. Bunch of weak willed peasants.

It's the mail on sunday, and it's Peter Hitchens, who is a thoughtful, respected man, not a bigot or a moron. Just take the time to look at this arguments before glibly dismissing them, because he is more intelligent and principled than most in the media and most politicians.

Do you disregard every article that is linked to you? 99% of newspapers are bias.

If you look at the constituencies which are usually represented by the conservatives, I think you will find that these areas tend to be doing better than the areas which are represented by Labour MPs.

Didn't occur to you that these are usually already rich areas? The rich buy the expensive houses in expensive areas. They keep themselves well away from any eye shot of poverty, out of sight out of mind. They shut their doors and vote Conservative in the hope that they can preserve their lovely existence and won't have to bother with the likes of the poor.
