Labour who?

19/5/2017

So, today I had a conversation with a couple of my students about last night’s political leader debate, the first thing I said that you could not have a serious debate with both of the main contenders absent ad the Lib Dems are no hopers, and we discussed the way the program was put together and the technical stuff of a live debate as this is a part of their course work.  Anyway, during the conversation I was accused of being an upper class snob, as I said that any other vote than for the Conservatives would be a waste (they will win the election), that’s when the snob remark was said, now, we are not really allowed to discuss with students our polital preferences, I did say that I did vote leave on Brexit, but they accepted that without to much fuss, but because I suggested that the conservatives would win I was then blasted by them as they both said they were Labour supporters and would vote that way in the election, that’s fine I said, and it was their choice and they should therefor respect my comment on the wasted vote remark and why did that make me an upper class snob, I explained that I can from a very poor background and got where I am today by bloody hard work, I also said that Maggie and the Conservatives had made it possible for me to start my own businesses, so I voted in favour of them ever since as I still believe that they are the best bet for the country, look at the shit Labour left us in after they last run the country, there reply was you had to rich, upper class and a snob to vote for them?  I tried to explain that they needed to research a little more about the manifestos of the parties and see which one they felt was best for them and the country, but they just repeated what they had said before, so I left it at that.

Some times its just impossible to try to open people’s minds to other alternatives.
