Why would my reason be any different? I work hard for the little that I have. Call it selfish but I've never been given anything for free. Unfortunately I believe you have to work hard in society to achieve things and that's what I do. I don't really want to then be giving it all away just because someone else has decided they want what I have but don't want to work for it.
Want what you have ? You sound like you think you're different than everyone else with this incredible work ethic you have. There are millions like you. You sound like you're doing Stewart Lee material. Many people work hard but are exploited with ridiculously low wages, maybe disabled, maybe struggling on a small state pension. Stop thinking about yourself as if you are going to become some sort of millionaire entrepreneur. Chances are you won't. I've been self employed for 35 years and worked hard but I still want a fair state and don't bleat on about labour stifling me. They never have.

You'll never see a Labour government in you're lifetime, if they can't win under yesterday's circumstances they'll never win [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Let's say in 6 months time we end up back at the ballot box again because May can't get anything done and her party is arguing about Europe again. You confident?

I've never bleated anything about labour I nearly pointed out why I voted like I did in an much earlier post, and your jumping in on the wrong end of it.
I've worked low wage jobs, I've re educated off my own back as I had previously explained and had assistance from conservative schemes along they way as I pointed out in an earlier thread. I also said I don't have a lot of cash and doubt I ever will so I doubt I'll ever become a millionaire either unless seagulls lotto comes good. I doubt I work harder than everyone in the world and I've never tried to pretend there are not millions of others who like yourself work hard as well. I pointed out wh I voted conservative and not once in this thread have I slagged of anyone who see's life differently to myself.
So to sit and try and judge me is pretty poor tbh.
You would of seen that I support my vote with my opinion. Not everyone will agree with and that's their right, likewise I don't judge anyone who voted differently, we are a democracy after all and we are all free to vote how we like.

I know it's really tempting to throw this terrorism stuff back at the Tories but if it is wrong to have a pop at Corbyn over the IRA, then it is wrong. If the Tories have the front to bring it up again after getting into bed with the DUP then more fool them.

The DUP has philosophical and corruption issues both of which are current that we can have a field day with should we choose to.

Do not underestimate that young people feel they lost out at the Referendum because they couldn't be bothered.

That's a pretty good lesson for them to learn young.

Keep backing someone into a corner whilst prodding them with a stick and eventually they'll fight back!

Students, of course, don't work hard. It's only those from Middle Earth that do so.

I wasn't trying to suggest they don't work hard just that many people vote for all parties because of self-interest. It was interesting that the younger voters didn't turn out in the numbers expected in the referendum despite all the talk of it being their future etc But they are queueing round the polling station to vote for someone promising to pay off all their student loans.

I think a lot of people didn't vote in the EU saga because they couldn't pick between all the lies

They had the front to bring it up after cosying up to the Saudis for an arms deal.

This Ireland nonsense and the PRESS THE BUTTON farce remind me of (probably misquoted)

'Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience.'
