Well Don, since the conservatives stole your health service and pension, how have you made up enough money to pay for them?

And, I'm curious, when did you last pay higher rate tax?

And, if you can adjust your spending, what about petrol tax and tobacco tax and of course taxes on beer?

Oh, and, silly me, VAT which is charged on nearly everything except food and children's clothes (I exaggerate to make the point). How do you avoid that?

Oh, and I've never claimed to be working class (except in the sense that we all work except for those who don't). I've made it perfectly clear over and over again here that I am middle class possibly upper middle class. That doesn't stop me telling right from wrong, and the conservative ethos of stealing from the poor to give to the rich is just plain wrong.

By the way, Al, nice to be agreeing with you, so don't mention the "F" word.
