I have just been listening to some people on radio 4 talking about JC. At the start of the interview, the usual question about immigration was asked "do you think there are too many" "is JC wrong saying they should be welcomed" and "are they taking your jobs"
I was fully prepared for each of the 6 interviewees to affirm all the questions, but was delighted at all their replies. They were working class living in East London experiencing a relatively hard life - mum's with tiny children on the 13th floor of a high rise, dad having to travel -he is unemployed- to Leeds for an interview for a job. What happens if he gets it they are unclear. Other folk interviewed were similar.
What is absolutely clear is the support that they are giving to JC and his new form of democracy. They talked about how at last there is someone with whom they can identify, and understands their life and struggle.
They talked of at last after 18 years there being a real opposition to the Tories.
As for the immigrants not one was against them.
