Think you're right nelly, always heard it as deep-seated in my mind. Ok dobie let me explain why I can hate him. I teach a group of children who are enthusiastic, kind, intelligent and all of the other things we would hope our children to be. However they are poor and are growing up in an environment ridled with social issues. I see a very bleak future for them. Their families rely on council services for many of their needs, Cameron has cut grants to councils so they are no longer able to provide them. This means that those who are living in damp, overcrowded flats will continue to do so. When I ask them to research for homework they can't go to their local library as it is shut. When they go to secondary school they will be doing so in a building where there are rotting windows and buckets catching leaks on their desks because the brand new school they were promised has been scrapped. They will be going to failing secondary schools as money has been diverted to the academies and free school programs, which they will struggle to access becuase their parents lack the social capital. These schools may well shut during their time in the name of market forces, causing further damage to their academic progress. When they leave school they will struggle to get a job as youth unemployment continues to rise, and a continued focus on outmoded academic education means there is a lack of vocational training. Those who are bright enough to go to university will not because they are scared of the percieved £30k debt (whether this is real or not).
I hate Cameron because despite all his posturing to the contary I see no possible improvement to these childrens futures while he is in power. The Conservatives by their most open political beliefs believe that we should live in a market-led economy, where services are run by individuals not the state. This means that for those with the time, social and economic capital to provide the services to their local community there will be no hardship. For those who do not require public services there will be no hardship as they already pay privately. Cameron has openly declared that he intends to reduce taxes in the future, once the deficit has been reduced. This means that there is no chance of regaining public services in brighter economic times.
I hate Cameron because he has appointed an Education secretary who knows sweet FA about education as shown by his continued muddled announcements. I didn't like Ed Balls either but at least there appeared to be some rationale behind his decisions, even if I disagreed with him.
I hate Cameron becaus the entire political elite is now run by those from a very narrow section of society who have not demonstrated in any shape or form that they have any understanding or compassion for those who are in a weaker position to them.
I didn't particularly like Labour either, but I saw it as far less sinister and damaging. And yes I do realise that hard decisions have to be made, yet I see no evidence of it affecting Cameron, other ministers or major wealthy party donors.
I am not some hard done by working class girl made good. My family are firmly middle class, as am I, and have always voted Tory. I live in a nice flat, in a nice area that was bought by the proceeds of a trust fund. I actually can afford to pay more tax, and would happily to do so if I knew it would lead to a fairer society. Simply that through my work I see the serious social injustice we have in this country, and it makes my blood boil. I can see no evidence that the most powerful man in Britain sees this or even cares.
