I think my child is a socialist?

My son has just turned 15, and recently he has been coming home from school telling me how he has been learning lots about socialism. Since this started happening, we have been arguing nonstop. He doesn't seem to let anything go. Whenever I try to talk about work at the dinner table (in fairness, I am a banker), he can't go 5 minutes without getting angry at me and disrupting the meal. I understand what he is going through, he's not the only one to have a lefty phase - I had mine at university! That being said, I'm worried that he's going down a bad path, and that his behaviour is going to become a real problem. God forbid I take him into waitrose! If anyone has any advice, do share.

Is that you, Fred Goodwin?...

Good morning, OP. Well, you are in a bind, aren't you? Wherever did he pick up ideas like this? We would recommend a return to National Service, hard labour each morning before school and cold showers four times a day. That ought to wake him up a bit.

Try to look on the bright side. At least he's not showing any signs of becoming an internet troll yet. Now that really would be a concern.

We've escorted the OP from the building now as, funnily enough, we weren't convinced they were completely genuine. We're going to leave the thread up for now just in case there are any poor beleaguered left-wing teenagers reading in need of some light relief.

Thanks for the reports.
