You'd probably need to ask the people living in these places. But I would suggest that though statistically things may have improved it probably doesn't/didn't feel that way.
I doubt people in these areas feel they are any closer to achieving equality of wealth with those they see on tv or around them. I doubt they feel its any easier for their children to attend university or to buy a house for example.
Actually, though I'm no fan of Labour I would probably agree that at least until quite recently Labour may have had good intentions about improving the lot of working class families.
The last 2 governments clearly have no clue of what that would even involve |

I think yer right about large swathes of the country not feeling the benefits of change and an improving society. Though I think it probably goes back way beyond 2009 unfortunately.
Large predominantly working class areas of the country have been completely neglected for decades by government after government. This of course leaves them open to the suggestions of Farage and more worryingly Tommy Robinson.
Labour and the Tories have both completely failed these communities. I would suggest they have had very little intention of attempting to prove the lifestyles etc of people in these areas. Unfortunately it's probably to late now to turn the tide now as there both just not trusted. |

Nah, must be the other 2 on the list. As you rightly point out Dave U is a legend.
I've also received 1 of his uppies, still 1 of my proudest moments |

Let's hope it never reaches the Edwin Starr in Clacton 30 odd years ago stage.
How people can love the music but then hate the people creating it is beyond me. |

Unless you are 1 of these lads or a spokesmen for them I'm not sure you should be suggesting that these lads would confront anyone who disagrees with um.
Could be putting them in a very awkward position. Most of um don't look like the fighting type.. [Post edited 15 Sep 13:00]

Feck me!
So attending a far right rally organised by far right hate preacher and ex leader of the EDL Tommy Robinson, alongside cosy talks from other far right, racist, hate preachers doesn't make you a racist?
Guess they could just be in the tw4t section rather then the racist tw4t section.
Just for clarification, if you attend a Tommy Robinson rally you are either a tw4t, a racist or a racist tw4t |

The sun always shines in Leitrim...
Cool, hopefully we can meet up then.
I'm down in Co Galway watching lads laying pipes through the site of the battle of Aughrim. 'High risk of disarticulated human remains' apparently.
Depends on their excavation schedule wether I drive home or get a hotel down here for night. At the moment looks like I'm gonna come home this afternoon an drive back in the morning. Hopefully can make it back tomorrow evening too. |
