to have noticed that Tory voters are more polite on the whole than their left-wing counterparts

[SeaTheStars]

You don't get many lifelong Conservative voters talking about dancing on Michael Foot(e?)'s grave in the style of a rabid working class person talking about Mrs Thatcher do you?

YABU for making no sense at all

What on earth is a rabid working class person?

I think you mean repressed rather than polite.

like Arthur Scargill for example

Yer, Tories are lovely - polite, kind and good to their grannies .

YABU.

Um, Michael Foot was never prime minister, was he? SO the comparison doesn't work. Fwiw, I think it is horrible to say you will dance on anyone's grave, but I have never heard anyone say this.

And I also think you mean repressed.

Oh dear..

I don't think Michael Foot was in quite the same league as Mrs Thatcher in terms of fuck-up-the-countryness.

ah well you see lifelong conservative voters haven't had to rail against the establishment for years as they agree with the way the country is run.

Now the other day Xenia was using 'poor' as shorthand for 'state school educated', and here you are labelling the working class as Labour voters. Or is it only the rabid ones who are Labour voters?

LOL

YABU, you silly Tory wanker.

Yeah, that's right, Tories are well known for their compassion towards others of course...

was just a passing thought, but you don't seem to get the same level of venomous hatred spewed from Conservatives towards other parties as the traditional Labour voter seems to about the Tories

might be right, about repression

is that your best attempt at rabble rousing?faux class war and oh dem lefties are potty mouthed oiks

try harder

was Michael Foot really not PM? am sure I remember this

Try after the election. We Labour voters were very polite indeed in 1997 because we were all holding our breath. No doubt Tories are the same right now.

ARE leftwingers necessarily working-class?
Just askin'.

"was Michael Foot really not PM? am sure I remember this"

Really?!

I think you've shot yourself in the foot (no pun intended!) in wanting to comment on political matters if you can't even remember this!

And you don't get the same venomous hatred towards Labour as you do towards the Tories cos Labour aren't so bloody vile.

Simple really .

No he wasn't PM, - just party leader.

haha, no, he was leader of the opposition wasn't he

I was only little then, but ok v poor comparison

"was Michael Foot really not PM? am sure I remember this"

sorry, but this deserves a roffle.

OP sounds familiar

I was little too, but I still know that!

Pmsl!

ok ok I was about NINE then

anyway is not about the parties as not a lot to choose between them is there, but rather about the people who align themselves with them - you just don't get this hatred the other way around do you?
