"What so many people don't get about the U.S.working class"

Interesting article and you can see the truth of it in our society but I wonder if she comes up with any solution. Are you reading it Daphne? I would be interested to hear more.

My son gave it me, because he thinks I'm thick (he could be right).

I like his policies but …

Here’s a politician who just doesn’t lie

But I can’t vote for Corbyn,

Cos he doesn’t wear a tie.

Here’s a politician who’ll restore the NHS

I would vote for Corbyn

If his beard was not a mess.

Here’s a politician who’ll take back the trains we sold,

Well, I do like his policies,

But I find he’s just too old.

Here’s a politician who’ll swap student loans for grants,

I like that idea,

But he hasn’t got a chance.

Here’s a politician who’ll make rented homes respectable,

I don’t disagree,

It’s a shame he’s unelectable.

He’s honest and he’s true but I’m not going to plead with ya

Knowing that your mind has

Been made up by the media.

Well, this is the canary so probably rubbish, but I don't think so :

That's interesting, FarNorth.

Have you seen that the Met are looking into May saying something similar about Abbott?

Same reason.

Skwawkbox and Canary are the leftwing news outlets according to Gove, so he must read them, or at least think they are not rubbish.

Of course, there'll be no decision on either of those possible breaches of electoral law until well after the election.

durhamjen Wed 07-Jun-17 23:31:52

Ah, well. So long as it does happen. No immunity as May wasn't an MP when she said it.

I hope lots of the undecided have seen this video.

I think it's brilliant. But I am biased.
