Mantis Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) It's just a tired old stereotype, but I gave up arguing those on here a long time ago (or did I?) It does make me laugh though that some people seem to think that if you vote Conservative then you must be some sort of upper class toff with loads of money.

Xann Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Xann, I suspect I agree with your point, but that article you've linked to is more than 10 years old. Oops thought it was 2014. ...a string of banks revealed lavish rewards for their top staff despite weak results... I'm spoiled for choice though - Here's another. There's no end of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 It's just a tired old stereotype, but I gave up arguing those on here a long time ago (or did I?)You're in a thread that has repeated posts about how Ed Miliband is Wallace and, because he can't eat a bacon sarnie without looking like a catalogue model at every shutter position, is someone who'd struggle to tie his own shoelaces rather than a very intelligent man with a different political outlook on things (albeit with the odd struggle) and you still manage to whine about how people stereotype Tories?I'd say that's sodding typical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 what's the difference between losing money and losing ground? Losing ground is having to work longer and harder whilst our services deteriorate. New housing is poorly made and expensive. The majority will be worse off than their parents. Yet the rich are getting much richer at an alarming rate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said it was just about that, but is it really surprising that those things have been said in a thread where discussion will inevitably drift towards him (because that's the main topic of the thread)? As I said, I was referring to VT as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet the rich are getting much richer at an alarming rate. We are all having to work harder , the problem is that People think nurses and teachers have a monopoly on this .... The rich you are referring to are about 1% of the country , Tory voters are probably around 35 to 40 % ( of people that bother to vote ) It's why stereotypes don't work ...

No they don't have a monopoly, and I mentioned that the NHS is amongst the emotive of subjects. Greed and incompetence at the top is widespread. My previous employers died on their arse through stupidity whilst giving themselves fat payrises. I got out, but thousands lost their jobs. My current employers haven't covered themselves with glory, hundreds more out of work due to a large and rather obvious oversight, whilst pockets at the top were lined. No way to run a society. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meregreen Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I don't measure a man on the way he looks, or eats a sandwich. I prefer to judge someone on their character and their compassion for those less fortunate. On those criteria I will happily give Miliband my vote. Cameron, as with so many Tories, pays lip service to caring for those in need, while at the same time sticking it to them. They are not called the nasty party for nothing. Its a tag thats well earned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
