to take "friends" voting Tory personally?

[ButterPie]

I am an unmarried stay at home mum, with a DP who works at just over minimum wage to pay for our rented house, with the help of tax credits, DLA and child benefit. They think I'm scum, don't they?

Butterpie, have they said they think you're scum? If so they are not your friends. If they haven't said that, why should you assume it?

I am an unmarried stay at home mum, with a DP who starts a new job today. I am living off a redundancy payment, CB and JSA. I will vote Tory this time and I don't think you're scum. My circumstances only differ from yours in that I am trying to go back to work. That suits me. It may not suit you and it's not my (or anyone else's) business to judge.

Definitely not something to worry about.
