Better still how about both sides refraining from the usual red rag waving about the other factions and actually debate the issues?Stop accusing others of not listening when you are all guilty of not listening.

Or even more novel.Agree to disagree.
No need to excuse you. You just made my point that there are people complaining about negative stereotyping and guilt by association when they indulge in it themselves. Perhaps for some it just seems more acceptable when it's bankers or so called Tory toffs than benefit claimants who're on the receiving end.
