If I’m talking about a caricature of the working class then I don’t know what I am because that’s the working class I grew up in and an still a part of. Do you spend much time on inner city council estates? Do your kids go to a school with knife arches and a cop on site? I’m guessing not.
Britain would rather sink with America than swim with Canada and Europe. We’re a backward country run by thieving neoliberal scum. And that’s me putting it politely.
I didn’t say liberal scum.
Are any of them Palestinian holocaust survivors?
By the way, you mentioned diversity, well I know plenty of black and mixed race people, including family members, as well as white people with mixed race kids who support Reform. You really do have rose coloured glasses on when it comes to the British underclass.
This shite rang a little bell in my head, and then it came to me, it’s not even original. A “hand up, not hand out” is exactly what Republicans in the US have been saying to screw people on benefits since the early 80’s. So, if we need evidence that it’s BS, we need only look to America.

2/2…they come from a working class background it almost always means they’re middle class and, for all their condescending bullshit about the working class being somehow proud and strong, they always lock their car doors when driving through neighbourhoods like mine. This isn’t a novel. It’s life.

Love it 😀
I’m not talking about the people funding him. I’m talking about the white, working class, knuckle draggers and flag shaggers. They have no understanding that it’s racist to ascribe a certain type of behaviour to two billion people based on the actions of less than two hundred.
