They're not all that keen on the cops or foreign interventions in St Mary's, Northam or Holyrood.

I’ve lived in six in three cities & all were totally different, and the politics of my neighbours were different,complicated, not remotely comparable. Still annoyed by this, which is a dog-whistle way of claiming a mythologised homogenous white working class exist across the UK.

Yeah it speaks to an understanding of class that is exclusionary, heavily racialised and simplistic to the point of plain fucking wrong.

Yeah this is one of the most absurd contentions of Corbynsceptics- that Corbynites are all posh. Even a vague understanding of political economy would tell them this is bollocks. I honestly don't know a socialist my age or younger who isn't fucking skint.

Yeah even their theory of change (that Labour only wins from the centre so they, the dogged foot soldiers, *must* fight the wreckers on the hard left) is a fable.

the function of the polprofs and think tanks is to assemble halfway plausible data-based arguments in support of said fables
