@GodChosenFolks@Express_Knowles Troll me more , the United Kingdom comprises four separate countries, England , Scotland , Wales and Northern Ireland .
@Califoroh7m@pensandpoison No, crook's is threatened with lynching , the white women makes advances towards him , which he rejects and her reaction is to accuse him of rape (which people go along with),however the main characters do show him a level of camaraderie at odds with his general experiences .
@Christo63320593 About 15ish years ago,Gordon Brown,who was prime minister at the time,was out talking to the public,an older woman asked about immigration,he brushed her off,got into the car and called her a racist,but a mic was clipped on him from earlier & was still on,cost him the election.
@Christo63320593 It's the same in UK politics,if I don't agree with whatever the guardian spews out(written by champagne socialists)I must therefore be an evil reformer,they don't care about my real world experience,&it doesn't matter I have voted for labour since I was old enough to,25 years ago
@Christo63320593 Yeah I saw this , I had some concerns about splc a few years ago(I can not remember what is was though), the problem is that,now you must have an opinion and it must be the right one on every issue. You must be radically (in your case) democrat or republican, there is no middle.
@Christo63320593 So I'm a traditional labour voter, poor ,working class, northern,pro union white male. That's a classic labour voter. So left wing economically.Farage doesn't align with my economic policies at all, I hope he wins and forces labour to evolve out of the crap party it has become.
@Christo63320593 of England (and a poor part of even that area), Facebook updates consistently list immigration being in the top 3 concerns of her constituents, she ignores them and does the opposite,she has been the labour MP for this area for 16 years. Why would her constituency vote labour?
@Christo63320593 And the more "sheltered" middle class, the working class has moved to reform. The conservatives have lost votes to reform mostly. my local MP has voted against 43 , abstained from 2 votes and voted for 0 pieces of law around stopping illegal migration. Now I come from a poor area
@Christo63320593 It's not that,the opposite is true really, we had until recently 2 major parties and a minor one,we either had labour or conservatives,and they were not that different,the problem now is we have 5 parties each polling at 14-30%, so now labour who were reliant on their historical
@Christo63320593 Working class votes and regional votes(the red wall is a term for an area near myself),have basically ignored this demographic assuming they would for them no matter what. Turns out not to be true,so now they are clambering to keep those who haven't turned away.
