Growth up Henry. People are rightly worried that, as soon as the issue that has now, finally, got you so het up, stops affecting you personally, you'll go back to the exact same positionally you held before. A fair weather friend is no friend at all.

They repeating the same 'mistake' they made after Brexit of assuming disaffected Labour voters are all disaffected because Labour aren't quite racist enough and therefore will all vote racistly. Which we know, of course, isnt what happened and isnt what would happen this time.

Which, some would argue, is precisely why they don't. Heaven forbid we routinely reveal the link between labour market participation and not (generally) being a mad reactionary.

Its entirely this. If theres anything world class about English private schools, its their capacity as social and cultural capital factories. Knowing the right people and believing the right things sets you up in the UK better than it does anywhere else in the western world.

Isn't it amazing how us, a bunch of disillusioned lefties and rando shitposters, have a better strike rate than certain world renowned populism understanderers, simply by adopting the most cynical interpretation of events at all times. Almost like they're stealing a living.

Exactly this. Does she think this disgusting pandering will stop them coming for *her* and *her family* when they feel sufficiently emboldened? Dangerously naive and complacent.
