HOW the modern Tory Party leadership can aim to represent the ordinary person in government is beyond me. In the middle of the worst economic cycle in decades, Cameron goes on a £21,000 a week holiday – the equivalent of my annual salary before tax.
Fair do's, he comes from a very privileged background and why not spend on such a holiday?
I do not have a problem with him doing that, I am not coming from the 'politics of envy' brigade.
What I do have a problem with is Cameron coming on TV t
alking about the credit crunch as if he knows anything about it. I bet he never even sees his bills let alone worries about them. The fact is Cameron has no idea of the reality most people in the UK are facing and that goes for most of his Eton super rich cronies in the shadow cabinet, and if you have no idea of the reality I can't see how you could begin to fix it. The farce of his family holiday in Cornwall during these hard times (media invited) shows how false and clueless he is.
Labour for all its faults is trying to do right by the majority of the people, and a lot of the current cabinet do know what it is like in the reality of the current UK and have in the past had real jobs with real problems, that is why I will continue to vote Labour as since Cameron took the reigns of the Tory party, it has gone from an all inclusive broad church to a limited members club.
