This is view right out of the 1970's and jokes won't get the voters back. Labour show disdain to working class voters and regard them as fools just as you have done, Strolls.
Ellers bums young orphaned gerbils. Evidence?? Not important
What will get working class voters back is the promise to kick out all foreigners. The majority I come across in work on a daily basis have immigration as their key reason for voting Tory. Not all, granted, but the vast majority. Wait til they realise that non eu immigration will just increase instead. Hilarious
And the Labour Party arrest the worker, accusing him of racism and give the immigrant the biscuit...
Yes, it is a factor. I suspect they believe the rate of immigration will be higher under Labour. Probably based on Blair's refusal to cap EU immigration in the early 2000's
a tattoo of a fallen soldier and a pint in his hand, if he only had a history of bigoted comments though
I appreciate your honesty there but I suspect it’s more to do with the media they watch and read rather than Blair.
No, your example and my response show exactly where British politics is at the moment, there's no middle ground. You have a Tory government that is at best inept and a Labour opposition that doesn't have a cohesive direction that will persuade the working class they truly represent them.
George Galloway's Workers Party is far more in synch with Labour voters than the current Labour has been for many years. It's a shame Labour is now caught in a battle within itself which will keep the Tories in power as long as they offer 'crumbs' near election time. British politics frankly stinks...
Some do, what I believe is that there are a lot of people who were never political as there there wasn’t really an issue that grabbed them who now have been pulled in by brexit, and whilst there are definitely people who have their reasons for voting that exist beyond foreigners, yourself and Staines bring prime examples, these same people are seemingly the same ones slagging off the NHS, Greta and climate change, Meghan, the list continues.
What is worrying, and I’ve noticed it on the royal thread is that I’m noticing more and more the same things being parroted, pretty much word for word, which says to me this has to be that they are watching and listening to the same things and the narratives are being driven.
Like I say, not all but the vast majority I meet cite that reason for turning blue, including my best mate. He actually laughed when i suggested he was working class. Hes a window cleaner, works for someone else, rents a flat for him and his family and lives week to week like a vast amount of people do. Bizarre how some people think.
Again, with respect Bob, I think you’ve got it completely wrong.
You really should read Embery’s book.........He, in my opinion, explains things far better than I ever could.
