Interesting that it's Labour voters who are switching to UKIP, when the media likes to paint them as xenophobics who can't accept the red bits on the map have gone.
Then again, it's working class people who always feel the brunt of government policies.
Let's think:
Be soft on crime with silly sentences and harsh punishments for householders who might defend their property..................which areas get the results of this? The nice leafy places where the politicians live, or the council estates and solid terraces where normal people live?
Destroy grammar schools because they are elitists. Introduce the bog standard comprehensive - whose social mobility is kicked away?
Join the EU, oh wine becomes cheaper and having so many countries have the Euro makes it so much easier to flit between our villa in Tuscany and Henriettas gite in Biarritz she kindly leant us dahling, but what about the movement of labour letting anyone come here to seek work - often lower paid work, often work some people would use as the first rung on the ladder.
What about those people coming over from poorer EU states (Never mind how the blazes these countries were let into the EU in the first place!), not the ones who want to work, but those who are on the make, well whose areas do they install themselves in buy-to-let properties, whose areas gets this blight?
Tonys super casinos..........he just never got that real socialists would never let a supercasino happen, because they came from the sharp end of society and knew how this can affect poorer families. For that matter the old socialists were very keen on families and even church, because they knew how this knits communities together through hard times.
UKIP worry me, I thought Labour were supposed to be the fairer party, but................some things should not really surprise us, and if it deep down surprises Labour, then they are fools. The ball is in their court
