In reply to Andy Jackson.

Like Brendan, my parents were hard-working Irish immigrants. They bought their flat in their 50s, which afforded a decent retirement in a place of their choosing. I had a grammar school education and worked mostly in medical admin for many years. My husband was a jobbing decorator and we bought our council house under Thatcher, and struggled to have a nice life. I do remember looking around me, at our two cars, our mortgaged terrace house; two children in an excellent school and decided that, yes, I was a Tory – and this hasn’t changed, despite all. This is Britain for you, and I feel very lucky indeed.
