I was saying to B the other day that its weird here... people actually talk about the Tories as a valid voting option, that just doesn't happen up there
Total Culture Shock!! I remember it too! Up north nobody admitted being tory... or liking Thatcher...then I moved down south and it was all .... different!

Apparently, they EAT babies too!!
I'm not a member of George Osborne eats children, honest 
Worse than that Muf....they eat puppies! 
TRUE FACT!!!
TRUE FACT!!!
I am amazed when I hear my hubbies memories of the 80's... he doesn't remember much unemployment.. well "he didn't know anyone whos parents had lost their jobs, or anyone on the dole"...
I was just gob smacked!!! His perspective of things... growing up in London, and mixing in the circles he mixed is just a different planet!
I still haven't got my head round it tbh

You lot do realise that at some point a Tory FM will actually look in this thread don't you
First one through door on day after election was called was BNP...
The only other ones we've had are Conservative, Labour and Lib-Dem.
Nobody has knocked on our door
or stopped us in the street or even phoned us up to tell us the Tories will make us all unemployed I was sooooo looking forward to arguing with people as well
We are a Tory safe seat here.

Our area originally conservative , presently labour - but new labour candidate as the other of 20+ years retired - so it is anybody's
Had a personal visit for tne Tory candidate but plenty of leaflets from plaid cymru, lib - dems, BNP (in bin) , conservatives and Labour . Where i live is a mix of farms (all blue) and a mixture of housing - so orange and red as well

I was the only one of my friends in my class (so group of about 10 of us) who's dad had a job!Our Youth Club was made into a satellite job club to cope with the sheer volume of unemployed. (& it had the advantage of pool tables & dj booth
and I remember always buying some extra tins & bread when my mum did the weekly shop, to give to the miners family collection that was outside Asda.
ps - the tory candidate was actually very nice

My Dad had the bad luck good sense to be seriously injured in a pit collapse so he was out of the mines at that point. We were ok, didn't affect us on a personal level...but I saw what happened to my friends families and what was left behind afterwards. What's still left behind.
Where I live is not farm land, or full of rich people at all. Infact, the town has grown around four large council estates and is very much a working class area with two large industrial estates and several large factories on the outskirts....yet there is not a single red poster about. A few orange, but mainly blue.
