you're right, although it's not just Murdoch (he'll be fine no matter what), I should have said specifically the petit bourgeoisie since that's the olds I was talking about. Not just elderly people but small scale landlords, small business freaks, etc, who make up a significant portion of the tories' base and social clout (especially the ones that call themselves "working class" even after making bank on Thatcher killing Keynes)
old people are not a social class. the great conflict isn't between proletariat and the elderly.
the people who keep the tories in power are Rupert Murdoch
