"There is no comparison between the way Don and Bozo post and I think it could be useful and considerate if you could retract your comment"

On reflection, Lox, you have a valid point. There's a considerable difference between their posting styles.

However, I won't actually retract it, as I believe the Tories, aided and abetted by their new-found Lib-Dem running-dog lackeys, are already starting to show their true colours, and starting to shaft the same people they always shaft, their own middle- and working-class (for want of a better term) supporters.

Where, for instance, is it more likely that parents will organise and open their own schools outside the state-system, partly funded by our money - on an inner-city sink-estate, or in some smart stock-broker belt area?

Who will be hit hardest by any reduction in University places - those whose parents can afford to pay for the very best in education, or the kid whose parents are on the dole and who have struggled just to keep their kids fed and clothed?.

If the widely-predicted double-dip recession occurs as a result of their cuts, who will suffer most in the run of job-losses that follows - highy paid and obscenely-bonussed bankers and stockbrokers or, for instance, modestly-paid council-workers.

And in those three examples, who are the natural supporters and paymasters of the Conservative Party, and who aren't?

And that's just for starters.

So I don't retract my statement in terms of its sentiment. However I will amend it - and say that they will be along soon to tell us why it's so good being a turkey at Christmas.

And Don, if you're inclined to listen (and I don't give a FF if you're not), I've told you before, I'm not a Leftie. I don't vote Labour, period. (Mind you, after Clegg's Lib-Dem sell-out, I just might be tempted to next time). I don't believe in the politics of left-wing envy, nor of right-wing selfishness and greed. I believe in the politics of the centre, of fairness for all, irrespective of class or creed - something we've seldom, if ever, had. Something we were promised at the election, but which clearly ain't gonna happen now that Cameron, by whatever means, managed to bewitch Clegg.
