So you were brought up during the three day week etc and you blame Socialism for that. Are you aware that it was a Conservative PM Edward Heath whose idiotic incomes policy led to an overheating economy exacerbated by the OPEC crisis which led to inflation spiralling out of control to such an extent that when Labour took office the then Chancellor Denis Healey went to the IMF for a bail out. This led to Thatcherism and the introduction of Neo Liberalism to the UK which devastated the industrial base of the nation, ripped out the soul of the heartlands and threw 3 million people out of work.
The Labour Party of Atlee and Bevin only really became a party that was Socially liberal after Thatcher as the moderate socially liberal faction of the Labour party finally gained sway and the Left were removed from the party, history repeats itself as we see today.
The Conservative party do not love Britain, they love capitalism, if they loved Britain they wouldn't have created an underclass or people bereft of hope living in a country with more foodbanks than McDonalds, because if you love your country you love everyone in your country not just the priviliged few who went to certain schools and come from certain backgrounds. The history they are proud of is a history that is based on myth, it is faux patriotism, they love the myth of Dunkirk and standing alone against the Germans, they love the myth of the UK being a warrior island race, Thatcher herself was supposedly fond of comparisons with Boudicca.
It takes some nerve to say that Socialists don't love their country and to say they would not fight for it, because it was the Socialists who first fought Fascism and Hitler by proxy in the Spanish Civil War, thousands of brave Socialist men volunteered to go to Spain and fight for the International Brigade. Look up the Battle of Jarama where the British Battalion fought so bravely. During WW2 it was the working class who did the fighting and they rewarded Churchill by voting him out and installing a Socialist Government.
What the conservatives have done, is convince the working class to vote against there own interests, it is the biggest scam in British history, because the working class are voting for the capitalist class that control and dictate to them rather than choosing to control their own destiny.
I notice as well you have bought this social liberal rubbish, Socialism is not liberal, but you would have voted against Socialism thinking it was liberal, that is how clever the brainwashing propaganda of the RW machine is. It is that good Goebbels himself would be astonished how they get away with it and how people like yourself fall for it.
