Why Pete is shocked I’ve no idea

Of course they don’t. They are too busy trying to survive.

It’s nothing to do with that it’s how people think - though actually it’s inconceivable it could be worse. In the early 80’s I lived for 18 months on what was apparently the most violent and impoverished estate in the UK. It would be really funny seeing you spout your shit to these people.

The notion this was done under thatcher is a myth

You really haven’t a clue have you?

We didn’t anyway. It was a nationalised industry producing crap cars. Thatcher actually ploughed ludricous sums in to try and keep it alive. Globalisation and the investment required made it impossible anyway.

Thatcher closures also were exaggerated as massive due to the miner strikes and the fact that these were the last mines of an already dying industry

We wouldn’t have a car industry at all if it wasn’t for thatcher. The bailouts of BL were eye watering and she started the drive to get Japenese production and foreign investment here

Well when the chancellor changes the budget 3 times in a week and makes austerity type hints why would people care? Also Farage dictates the immigration narrative anyway. I don’t think you have ever lived on a sink estate and are pretty clueless regarding how they are likely to think

The polls aren’t suggesting that

How’s it defecting. This people already have these things. Saying the guy over there may make it worse but we won’t make it better isn’t a great sell is it?

On everything no but it’s interesting you think Farage is over represented

this is all supposition and I hardly think those on a sink estate are seeing wages grow and a chancellor who says they are going to have to contribute more

There is zero evidence of that and if the argument is an acknowledgement it won’t get better under the status quo there is nothing to lose in reality

It is warranted as that fits into the impartiality debate perfectly

How will it get any worse for them?

It’s because they feel the system just doesn’t care so it can’t get any worse

It’s to do with being abandoned

I watched the first 5 minutes. It’s pretty obvious why Reform will be popular here - it’s nothing to do with being right wing.
