RE: [Less_Government] http://theconservativevictory.blogspot.com/ - LABOUR IS FALLING APART

This isn’t about the Labour Left being fascist…

 

This is about the fact that all of the mainstream parties are busy chasing after the middle class swing vote in marginal constituencies using policies that have no relevance for working class people, whilst trying to inflict Upper Middle Class Political Correctness on the rest of the country.

 

This could have been a void the Conservatives could have filled.  But with Dave at the helm, not bloody likely…It’s a lot easier to chase after those middle class marginals than it is to get non-voting working class people to the polls (before they’re angry enough to express their displeasure with the mainstream parties.)

 

Frankly, I don’t know what the big story is; this is old news.  The only people who should be shocked are the Beeb, the chattering classes, and the mainstream party leaderships…

LABOUR LEFT HAVE FACIST TENDENCIES

labour voters are deserting us for BNP, says Blair ally

Labour working-class families feel so neglected by the Government and angered by immigration that they are deserting Labour and flocking to the British National Party, a minister admitted yesterday.
In a sensational claim, Margaret Hodge, one of Tony Blair's closest allies, said that eight out of 10 white people in her east London constituency of Barking are threatening to vote for the far-Right party in next month's local elections. Once traditional Labour supporters are angry at a lack of affordable housing - and blame immigration, and Labour, for the changes.
Margaret Hodge: white families are angry. "They can't get a home for their children, they see black and ethnic minority communities moving in and they are angry," said Mrs Hodge, the employment minister. "When I knock on doors I say to people, 'are you tempted to vote BNP?' and many, many, many - eight out of 10 of the white families - say 'yes'. That's something we have never seen before, in all my years. Even when people voted BNP, they used to be ashamed to vote BNP. Now they are not." Mrs Hodge said the pace of ethnic change in her area had frightened people. "What has happened in Barking and Dagenham is the most rapid transformation of a community we have ever witnessed.
"Nowhere else has changed so fast. When I arrived in 1994, it was a predominantly white, working class area. Now, go through the middle of Barking and you could be in Camden or Brixton. That is the key thing that has created the environment the BNP has sought to exploit." Mrs Hodge claimed the anger is not down to racism. "It is a fear of change. It is gobsmacking change."
She also complained about a "lack of leadership" from her party on race, and said the "political class", including Labour, was frightened of the issue. "The Labour Party hasn't talked to these people. This is a traditional Labour area but they are not used to engaging with us because all we do is put leaflets through doors. Part of the reason they switch, is they feel Labour is not listening to them."
