Do you actually hate the man for voting tory? Huge numbers of scousers have voted tory, he's hardly the only one - do you hate them too? The majority of people do things that are in their best interests, voting Tory was obviously in his. Are you Mother Teresa? And don't be so naive to think that if we'd stuck with the labour government of the 70's things would have been rosy. We would have continued to plough public money into unviable business. The impact on Liverpool would merely have been delayed, but the impact would have been greater and more far reaching.
