O/T Next Labour Leader thread

[animallittle3]

So, if for example the Conservative party had a manifesto that was more appealing to the working class than labour and their previous time in government was geared towards helping the working more than ever, would you vote for them? Hypothetical question.

That might work if we all lived in the south of england but my life experience tells me that such a tory manifesto up here in the north is for the fairies .


I only speak from life experience , that's all I have , it's actually all I need to tell the truth .

I didn't wake up one morning and start despising the tories for nothing , before 1984 to tell the truth I wasn't that bothered about who was in government , that all changed in 84 and in the 35 years that's followed I've seen very little from them that's changed my mind .

I take the point the strike left its mark on me but then again why wouldn't it ? .

When a government throws 35k people in my town on the scrap heap and leaves you to rot then I'm hardly likely to have much faith in them and that's without mentioning the last 9 years .

Many people in the heartlands may have conveniently forgotten what these feckers are capable of yesterday but I never will .

For someone who came late to the class warfare game, you appeared to embrace it with gusto:

The party who I hate with a passion , I was gutted the IRA didn't kill the whole bstrd lot of em in 1984 at the Brighton conference but will take us out of the EU.

Keep doing the reasonable guy act, animal.
