Don't forget that Ed was bourgeois intelligentsia and Dave was Eton yob and the British class system works in subtle and mysterious ways.
The Accelerationist in me is fully in favour of Richard Burgon taking over the Labour Parry.
That's a very astute way of putting it.Hamsptead lefties don't eat bacon sandwiches by choice, but Boris Johnson understands that taking the piss is the English lingua franca. And there, in a nutshell, is Labour's doom.
Can it be done when most of the media is in the hands of the Tories? What are Labour's channels for reaching the millions of people who get their news from the BBC, Mail, Sun, Express, LBC, Sky, The Times etc?But it is the duty of oppositional parties to educate the public about what is happening. They have not done this.
Maybe. Have they tried to do it? That might be a better question.Can it be done when most of the media is in the hands of the Tories? What are Labour's channels for reaching the millions of people who get their news from the BBC, Mail, Sun, Express, LBC, Sky, The Times etc?
I mean that's bollocks, frankly. People get their information from all over the place and are not inert vessels that uncritically absorb whatever the loudest thing is.I don't see how you can educate the public about what's happening when huge swathes of them only get their information about what's happening from sources which are ideologically opposed to you.
And how much of the information all over the place supports Labour's politics? Seems the only stuff that speaks favourably of the left atm is relatively niche or specialist stuff that the average person's unlikely to have come into contact with or even have heard of.I mean that's bollocks, frankly.

Well not much, is my point. Which makes you wonder, given they had (until recently) the largest membership base of any political party in Europe.And how much of the information all over the place supports Labour's politics?
