If only those who have campaigned and put their money where their mouths are should be in political parties they would have very few members.
Making films is Loach’s job - of course he does it for money. Do you think people should work for nothing? I’m really not sure what your point is.
This might be the final straw for me. I’ve been in and out of the LP over the years, always in opposition, and largely in the hope of tempering Tory excesses. I will never vote Tory, and I don’t like the Lib Dems (even less so as a party to suck up the disaffected from the rest), so it’s not ideal for me, but it’s reaching the point where I will have to resign again.
Of course he makes films for money, and no I don’t expect him to work for nothing. But he does not have the same reach as. Marcus Rashford, who really manages to make change. Loach makes the right noises but has no punch, is extremely left wing, which most of this country won’t tolerate which is why Corbyn lost, thank goodness. We all want fairness and equality, but as in Animal Farm, ‚‘all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others‘. So in a left wing world also this would very much apply.
