I agree with BEags.
Born in Yorkshire and lived in a paper bag int' road etc.; but even my Dad, a dyed in the wool socialist most of his life, turned Tory when he saw what Harold Wilson and Dennis Healy did to TSR2. I was just starting my RAF pilot training at the time and I'm still convinced that that pair of traitors took their pay direct from the Kremlin. TSR2 cancelled, F1-11 ordered (to be cancelled later with huge financial penalties), British Aircraft industry and Economy decimated in one fell sweep.
Socialist principles may be laudable but socialism, like communism is impractical - and how could you trust a 'socialist' with a seven figure (or close) family income?
Have never and will never vote Labour, nomatter how incompetent the Tories may be.
