I was going to add on the end that all makes me feel a bit selfish, but I've got to do what's best for myself.

I've had some hard times myself in the last few years though and I've worked very hard to get where I am now though, so I don't feel too bad about it.

Fair enough. I don't agree with you but you're what I'd call a "reasonable" Tory; where I can understand why you did what you did.

What I don't understand are the really genuinely rich, where a bit of a drop in income would mean next to nothing to them in practice, still deciding to have no social conscience.

100% this.
They remind me of them texan barons who pay $000,000's to sit at the top tables at charity bashes, but then when they leave they sneer at the poor sod outside who has a placard that reads: "Will work for food"
Sir george young: "Homeless are the people you step over on your way from the opera"

You'll see more of this attitude now, btw. Now they have a clear majority they can afford to let the mask slip and start quaffing the champagne in public again.

As I said: return to Thatcherism....possibly even worse given the fact there are no unions now to even make a fist of it.

This death-to-the-NHS narrative is really so sad, it's pathetic.
The Tories have pledged more money to NHS services over the next 5 years than Labour did. Don't take my word - check for yourself (but it might mean you have to actually do 60 seconds' of work yourself).

And with this I'll temporarily close this thread, simply to give people a cooling off period.

I'll reopen, today, but some people need to chill and not be so personal.
