    I'm what most would probably categorise as middle class, but still consider myself working class because my parents were.

    And do you really think anything will ever change for the significant better, as it ****ing should, by ticking a box and 'choosing' which bunch of ****s you want to kneecap you next?

    Fair play Staines. It's quite something to make a life decision based on passion rather than necessity. You've inspired me to keep thinking about creating a dog shelter, I think that's my calling.

    I spoke to someone in the pub tonight who said they were going to vote Labour. A much more reliable guide.

    Or there's the bookies. Paddy Power have it:

    Tory Majority 8/11
    No Overall Majority 5/4
    Labour Majority 20/1

    To be fair to comrade Eeliov, I think hes called it right. The Tories will win and I believe they will get a majority, especially when you hear of thick twats from Bishop Auckland, who works in the NHS but cant vote for labour due to Corbyn. Cant give a reason why but just cant! Like I say, its people like these who will have to live with their choice and I hope to god they never have the audacity to moan about it!

    So one of these parties has the answers to life's problems and the intention and ability to implement them?

    That's good Stroller...make sure you are around on the 13th.
    Apparently the Brexit party maybe ditching 20 more seats to help Boris get an even bigger majority. :emoticon-0100-smile

    My missus has been a qualified nurse for over 20 years, is the lead nurse in charge of the medical team in the local prison (after 18 years on a surgical ward), and earns about £1 an hour more than the burger flippers are campaigning for - it's a disgrace. Same as you Staines, she's always late out of work, sometimes gets dragged in out of hours if there's an emergency, and gets very little thanks from the management, although her client group seem to be grateful. She feels safer in the prison than she did on the wards, where nursing staff were regularly assaulted.

    Mate, I'd consiser myself working class, definately don't have any pretentions of grandeur - I shop in Aldi, Lidl and Home Bargains (dead posh, me!), graft like **** in all weathers, haven't had a holiday for nearly 2 years (three weeks to go...) won't be voting Tory (or any other ****er this time - sunlounger awaits). Working class is nothing to be ashamed of, but there is now a class below, those really struggling to survive and feed their kids due to austerity, reliant on hand-outs and food banks (I'm not talking about benefits scroungers or cheats either - they are just scum)

    My two young lads (10 yr olds) are in no way whatsoever academic and are already struggling to keep up in maths and English.......rest assured I’ll be trying to get them to take up a trade.

    None of us in the NHS do it to get rich, that’s for sure mate. Good on the McDs workers though......get what you can, if you can......working at some fast food place is great for teenagers who don’t give a **** and need the cash while doing studies or looking for something better. It can create a good work ethic in the youngsters.
    My eldest did it for a year...then moved on to Tesco’s, which was a step up for him.....and now he’s just started his training for the Police. Well proud of him and his commitment :)

    My boy has been working since he was 13, car wash, gardening, kebab shop and now waiting, where he earns the grand total of £4.35 an hour - slave labour!
