pps I had a full grant, as well as a loan, and worked at weekends. My mates were all football fans. Some of them weren't even at uni. It's friends who help your allegiance.

Now politics seems to be ruled by the soundbite and slick doublespeak. .
as far as I am concerned the BNP are left-wing nationalists, trying to gain the "popular" vote. Left / right wing isn't black and white (lefts like blacks, right like whites) - there's many facets to ones political beliefs (economic, social etc) - certainly my "right wing" stance is based on my opinion that free trade is far more effective and fair than redistribution.my own experience at Uni was the most students weren't interested in politics though there was a small group of very active 'lefties' who indulged in some silly high profile token gestures.
but does anyone know what a lefty actually is? labour used to be called a left wing party and now it isn't.
is the BNP is actually a left-wing party since most of its voters used to vote for labour when it was more left-wing?
i have 25% of the vote as it stands, which is more than Labour.Did the idea for this topic come out of a christmas cracker?

Maybe because the Conservative party offered the "working Class" a chance to buy their own homes and have more of a say in how they wanted to run their lives.
Can I assume that those who dislike everything Left wing do not use the NHS ?
This was one of those nasty wishy washy lefty ideas.
Or do they like most , use the free bits when ever they can but use the private route "because I can afford it" when they want to jump in front of the queue.
Very harsh. As someone who has paid tax and NI ever since I left school, are you saying I shouldnt be entitled to use the NHS? As you will be fully aware, people who use the Private option do not get any sort of discount from contributing towards the NHS, even though they are paying for their own healthcare.
There are also plenty of Doctors / Hositals who only take Private patients, so in effect the Private healthcare patients are helping to reduce the waiting times for NHS patients.
You can do a lot better than that Firestorm.
I was just wondering how far people will take their principles to the extent of it impacting on their own lives.
There of course is the argument that everyone over a certain wealth / salary should be made to go private so they don't take a "place" from someone who can't afford the treatment when they feasibly can.

It would be expected that the private healthcare payers would continue to pay their usual tax an ni contributions based on the theory that as they can afford it, it will be ok. This is in addition to the higher amount of tax they pay, because they earn more, and the higher percentage of their wages they pay, because they earn more.Regarding forcing someone to go private, would you still want to tax that person that you are making go private, or will you be removing their contribution from public funds?
Quite happy not to, Bupa would sort me and the family out (touch wood haven't had to use them yet, but they are there for when we need them).Can I assume that those who dislike everything Left wing do not use the NHS ?

Equally, does that mean a true socialist should never accumulate any savings or expensive consumer items as, believing in the redistribution of wealth, they would be happy to pass over some of their excess disposal income to those in need?
I do accumulate savings, as living in a society that is unforgiving to those in need, I have had a private Landlord serving me with a notice and taking me to court for eviction as she didn't want to wait four weeks for Housing Benefit to be paid for example, you simply have to have some cash behind you or the problems become insurmountable.
