""I was in the Young Conservatives once (co-opted onto the committee by Nick Robinson, now BBC political correspondent), and what I saw went against the grain for me personally. I didn't like the dismissal of huge swathes of the populace as sponging scum, the myopic adherence to nuclear weapons, an appalling sense of entitlement because of wealth and a wider sense of misanthropy that even included the dealings they had with each other.""

So you allowed yourself to be co-opted into the biggest group of arrogant, ignorant opinionated arseholes on the planet, devoid of empathy and compassion and most of all real life experience, and decided that was the measure of Tory voters across the board?

That puts you firmly in the Richard Bridge camp of left wing thought, devoid of empathy and compassion and most of all knowledge of the reasons why people choose not to vote for the long list of Labour crooks, weasels and incompetents who have fucked up everything they touched since Wilson won in 1964.

The last chance we had to vote for a socialist government vanished with the death of John Smith.

I have only the choice of two Tory parties, and I would rather try to make a difference to the real one by getting involved, than join Millipede's ersatz Army of incompetent twerps.
