Not really. Everyone has a political opinion, but that doesn't necessarily align along traditional party or even Right/Left boundaries.

It's called Free Thinking. You should try it some time.

If socialism is so great, why do we have food banks & so many children in poverty in the UK? Why are we having all this austerity? I mean we had a socialist government between 1997 & 2010?

The last Socialist government in this country ended with Thatcher's victory in 1979. Neither the Blair nor Brown administrations were Socialist in any meaningful sense of the word.

And the number of food banks in the UK has grown enormously since the current government came to power, so that's a really poor example to use.

Kids starving, classrooms back to bursting point and the NHS going to rack & rooney.

where are kids starving, in fact, I'll qualify that, where are kids starving that is anyone's fault other than the parents that procreated and can't afford them?

it is not MY job to pay for other people to have unprotected sex.

Yes it is. In the same way as when you get ill or need the police or drive on the roads or aren't killed by buildings collapsing around you or unsafe working practices, I, along with everyone else, has paid for that.

It's called civilised society.

agree 100%, but what I don't expect is direct personal abuse and some posters being immune to the AUP.
