    Am I alone in feeling dismayed by the defeatist attitude from our political class and business leaders? They don't make 'em like Peter Shore anymore, that's for sure.pic.twitter.com/RaUBBnYml3

        This speech from 1975 sums up the feeling most Leave voters have, and why extreme remainders result to insults & threats, as they do not understand some things mean more to others than manufactured hysteria they’ve created.

        Yes, you are alone, Darry. Peter Shore was a very nice man, a great believer in Commonwealth trade, a concept which was outdated in the 70s when I first heard him make that case

        Thank you Darren. I voted Leave because of our relentlessly negative attitude to the EU and our half in/half out attitude. I hoped that leaving and standing on our own two feet might tigger a renewal. Regrettably our political class aren't upto the job.

        Maybe that is what scares them. Being loyal to the EU could provide them a cosy sinecure.

        I am not a labour supporter but people with the conviction of Peter Shore could change my mind.

        Unfortunately, the days of Peter Shore were over long ago, his Labour Party bears no resemblance to what we have to witness today.

        All old Labour politicians were Eurosceptic. @BolsoverBeast @jeremycorbyn @KateHoeyMP and Neil Kinnock, until he was on the commission earning millions a year.

        That’s because most of them are professional politicians with no experience of anything other than sitting in Westminster.

        Dont make Labour MPs like Peter Shore any more. Those were the days that Labour were on the side of working men and women. Check out Labour Leave MPs and se similarities. Labour is now a champagne activist club for London Centric cocks
