Really shows people what the Tories think of London. A tote bag and lanyard wearing metropolitan utopia. But it’s just not. It’s a place where the white working class culture has been almost entirely eroded in the east end - only surviving in pie and mash shops and pubs. It’s a place where people feel squeezed by unaffordable living costs and rents. It’s a place where crime is left unchecked by the met police, I grew up as a Londoner, living in a council flat in Tower Hamlets, I don’t come from a comfortable town house in SW1, these people just don’t understand London, and the sooner they understand that the better.
@ArchiesPolitics I think you have a very bright future. I don’t necessarily agree with what you say sometimes but having this level of political understanding at 15 is astounding. I got into politics at 16 and even then I didn’t know as much as you and I certainly wasn’t involved as much as you.
