    you really have lost your sense of fairness.

    on top of this you seem to think you are accepted!! You are not.. The tory party love wannabees like you... they need people like you to believe one day you too could be like Boris et al
    Why don't you put up and shut up. How many of societies 'vunerable' are you putting up? I rent my garage to 15 migrant workers each week and I only charge 50 quid per head.
    What happens in General, stays in General.
    You know what they say about assumptions!

      I find it weird how mentioning where someone went to school is an insult.

      When I was 11 years old I didn't have much choice in where I went to school. At that age is anyone really likely to turn around and say, "No mum and dad, I want to go to the local comprehensive instead"?

      Why should someone be ashamed that their parents sent them to a good school?

        The bankers were the largest payers of tax and whatever they did they did on labours watch not the Tories. The Tories are the party of aspiration whereas your lot are the party of entitlement who callously pretend to care about the poor.

        Central banks could have done more to address all this. The Fed made no attempt to stem the housing bubble. The European Central Bank did nothing to restrain the credit surge on the periphery, believing (wrongly) that current-account imbalances did not matter in a monetary union. The Bank of England, having lost control over banking supervision when it was made independent in 1997, took a mistakenly narrow view of its responsibility to maintain financial stability.

The Tories should be lauded and thanked. The tories are the party of the tiny minority that pay a large proportion of the tax revenues raised. I am actually voting UKIP not because I don't like being identified as a Tory but because I live in an area that is a Tory stronghold and want to remind them that we need a referendum on the EU.
            With the greatest of respect to your standing in the business community as a respected agent (), that is a dumb as f**k reason for voting for anyone.

            If that is what tickle's your pickle, you could consider voting for a party that:

            a) Has an EU referendum in its manifesto
            b) Has a chance of being in power to implement that policy

                It doesn't miss the point. It ignores the blather to focus on the fact that mentioning that someone went to a school which spits out highly successful individuals is meant to be an insult. I won't bother correcting your grammar mistakes.

                  Even for an agent, a 23 minute turnaround from a straight "yes" to a "no" must be some kind of record?

                      It's my first general elections since I obtained British citizenship and I will vote Conservative. It was my wish since I saw Margaret Thatcher on tv in my country of origin when I was in my teens.
