Marmite and Other Things

I have never liked Marmite and would refuse to eat it if invited to do so. I cannot understand how anyone likes it but know that many do, even amongst my own family. I just shrug and simply accept that this is so. It is much more difficult though to accept that people have different views about religion, politics and so on and do not see things in the way one sees them at a gut level oneself. Some say that one's basic beliefs are as a result of one's upbringing but I am not so sure. I think it is possible to be born with one's gut feelings already set in one's bones. I also think it is possible to be born without any gut feelings at all about, say, politics. We all accept we have to learn to allow others their points of view but why should we allow ourselves to be manipulated into feelings of guilt about our class system for example.  Our class system is little different from those of other countries. Do not tell me that in the United States or in China there are not those born with silver spoons whose families will always hope that their children will marry someone with the same background. It is a natural phenomenon. This is a roundabout way of saying that there is nothing to be ashamed of in being white, middle class and a Tory. We are not nasty people and should not allow ourselves to continue to be branded as such. The yeoman classes have always been the backbone of any society and so it is in England.
