So funny reading people writing about their political 'credentials'. Yes, I also grew up in a Coronation Street row of terraced houses and ,yes, actually did have a tin bath in front of a coal fire. We also hade an outside bog, bloody freezing in the winter. We did become 'posh' when I was 6 or 7 and moved to a semi with an inside toilet. It was also a Council house or Social housing as it's called now. I was one of six kids. We all have done well, three went to Grammar school including myself and two to University but not me (it was the 60's man). At no time did we feel like rioting, thieving or abusing people from wealthy backgrounds because we were brought up to respect everyone. It's difficult to have a narrative about any particular politician. Thatcher is hated amongst Labour voters, and some Tories, for her bad handling of the miners strike. The Coal industry was on it's last legs anyway when the dispute happened and imagine it now in this Green World and Global Warming. Oh , and as for Food Banks, they started at the back end of the Tory Government in the 1990's and continued to grow throughout the eleven years of the Blair/Brown era. My own politcal views are, none. They are all a bunch of chancers looking for an easy ride on £72k p.a. and more. There are a few that actually believe in making life better for all people, but not many. There are several clowns operating in Westminster. Diane Abbott sends her kids to private school whilst criticising others for doing that. Jacob Rees-Mogg is in a time warp, Starmer is an automoton reading scripts from his advisers. Rishi is like a Geography Teacher, no Charisma. Still, it could be worse, we could have Biden or Trump FFS.
