"a welcome change in attitudes as society progresses and we become more tolerant and accepting of people's choices"

With the exception regarding those who apparently support the Conservative Party it would seem.

Said it before but will restate it - I have never, ever been a member of any political party in my life - it was not encouraged in the armed forces, as a result I am one of the most a-political people you could meet. I do however get a great deal of fun poking fun at people who:

1: Blame Margaret Thatcher for all the ills of the world.
2: Seem unable to say the word "Conservative" or "Tory" without prefixing it with the word f**king (So much for the tolerance of "socialists).
