The word 'conservative' is used by the BBC as a portmanteau word of abuse for anyone whose views differ from the insufferable, smug, sanctimonious, naive, guilt-ridden, wet, pink orthodoxy of that sunset home of the third-rate minds of that third-rate decade, the nineteen-sixties.

I grew up in the 30s with an unemployed father. He didn't riot he got on his bike and looked for work and he kept looking 'til he found it.
