The 'Meldrew' population
Discussion
Article on the radio this morning about a notable section of the voting population, christened the 'meldrews'.
They tend to be modedrately well-off middle class, 35-55, hard working, and are angry about PCness, transport, the NHS, Blair and cronies, don't believe anyone in power (or indeed the alternatives) have a scooby about running anything...
Sounds like we've been found out

Phew! When I saw the title to this thread, I thought all 'Meldrews' were going to be up for criticism and that I was going to have keep quiet. It is a great relief to learn that considering I am 34, middlish class, an avid PistonHeader - I AM NOT ALONE!
My fiancee has invented the verb "To Victor" especially for me.
I don't have particular political aspirations but there are many things that I do care about and sometimes with some strength of feeling. If you work on the basis that 95% or people don't give a monkey's about an issue - it is really important that the remainder do to avert going down the slippery slope of deterioration. My pet hates are:
1. "civil liberties do gooders" who would let all criminals out of prison because its not very nice to be locked up
2. all scrotes
3. people who's best outfit - is a Man Utd shirt
4. people who shout in public
5. 15 year old mums, who are working on a 2nd baby with a 2nd father
6. people who promote gay/lesbianism - and get a local government grant
7. all thick people who have permanently gormless expressions and sawdust for brains - especially those who hold a driving licence
8. people who park across my bloody drive (see the thread on here)!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feeling better. There are probably more but I can't think of them right now.
Mr Meldrew - you are my hero. RIP.

My wife has been calling me Victor Meldrew for some time now, so I guess its guilty as charged!
Funny that, I thought of Mark Radcliffe's sidekick Lard when I met you, dear boy.
