He’s a political activist. What do you expect.

Saying that, he is true to his beliefs.

I’d wager a few quid, the MM Barnsley contingent would be True Blue Tories if they had a few quid in the bank.

He has confirmed hes a political activist for Labour (outed) on a previous post, this deviated from his previous spurious neutral position of "give me the evidence as Im here to be convinced"

Nothing wrong with him being an activist now hes out of the closet

Impartial, knowledgeable observers know that all deals including No Deal are 'sh1t' compared to what we have now. It doesn't bother me as I have the resources to get through it and an Irish passport but the madness of the working class leading their children to a less prosperous future through ignorance and prejudice is simply sad.

Obviously you are not working class because you are not ignorant nor prejudice. But I'm working class so I must be both. Are you calling all working class ignorant and prejudice.

You have my post in front of you; it's meaning is clear enough I think. I do not say, nor even imply, that I cannot be guilty of ignorance and prejudice. I am. I merely state that the enthusiasm for Brexit among many working class people is down to ignorance and prejudice.

Howdy, there is a slight problem imo with this statement as it seems evident to me (or likely) that 'beliefs' often flow from personal circumstances and hence it is irrelevant that the Barnsley MM contingent if they were different people with different financial circumstances might well have different political leanings.
My problem with raging is not that he has family, friends and colleagues that match his description but rather that he is able always to weave them into a story that just happens to support his view of Britain as a multicultural paradise.

. That's OK then it's only some working class people who are ignorant and prejudice.

Outed? I'm the one who told you. Political activist. I've canvassed for labour 2 and half days in last 6 weeks, so quite a lazy one! Many on here have spent more time canvassing their political beliefs on here in that about of time.

But if the lib Dems or greens were the only opposition to the tories, I'd be out canvassing for them.

I must be getting old, raging. Did you not post a while back that you were voting Green?

I just discuss my life, as I see it, in relation to my political views, for anyone that cares, which I admit is probably no one! As I said, it is horribly sad that any one can view a man relating what people two who I work with, who happen to be Muslim, as me toting a "multi cultural paradise". Have you any idea how sad and blinkered that makes you sound?

I consider myself working class, certainly my origins are, as are those of my wife. I do not believe working class people are more ignorant or prejudiced than anyone else. I referred to the working class in my post simply because imo it is they and their children who will suffer most from Brexit.

No I said I have voted Green more than Labour in my voting history, and would rather vote for them over any other party. But my dislike of our direction under the tories means I vote for the contender opposing them where I live.
