I think the defining moment for me was when I was about 19 years of age, I had been working in the same company for about a year, which was the longest job I have ever held.
I was talking to my manager and we were chatting, he had 4 kids and a wife that lived in a big house outside London.
Between him and his wife, and for their four kids, they paid less in "poll tax" then I did living in a bedsit in Newham, which was all I could afford on the wages I earnt at the time.
Less then I paid living in a bedsit.
So I quit my job that day and as far as I am concerned, stopped playing any role that society expected of me. I have not worked since then and don't plan on working in the future as I don't think anything has changed.
That is the legacy of 30 years of Conservativism in this country for me.
