With all due respect Exile I don't think it's that simple .
I think there's a number of posters on this board who came from similar backgrounds and many of those ethics are ingrained in us .
Most of us can trace our roots in mining communities and if you are a certain age it never leaves you .
It's a different world now and millions upon millions of the electorate see things from a different perspective , things that bound us together haven't actually existed for decades now and have little or no relevance to them .
This isn't just around here this could be said about the car workers in the Midlands or the dockers in London .
Even the left of today is a totally different animal to what it was when I first started work , it was massively anti EU and put British workers first and foremost .
Tony Benn would have out brexited Johnson and Mogg all day long back in the day , Enoch Powell would have stood at his side from the right , that never happened in 2016 with the politicians of today .
I'm told as I was still at school that the 1975 referendum resulted in more anti common market literature than you could shake a stick at in the pit snap cabin .
My old man was massively anti Europe and he was a left , practically a communist my old man was , said the Labour Party was a set of soft shytes and selling every working man in this country down the river .
I'm away from this shyte now , the country will be what the electorate want it to be and I'll just count the time down till I get out of the workplace and see our grandson ok .
Nowt actually worth sticking your neck out for these days Exile , it is what it is .
Mind you I'm still up for a scrap with the ownership of our club , just for old times sake mind .
