Oh well the same as the majority of labour supporters then.

Yeah Labour supporters have long been a mix of middle class and working class.

There you are again, on about Labour. Just can’t stop thinking about them ;)

What other alternative is there. We dont want a left wing labour government in charge. The majority of the country dont. Only those who are left wing and staunch labour cant see the problem.

This is going to blow your mind:

Even the most right wing voters in this country are centre left. And only getting more so.

Is that the best you've got? A,I never voted Brexit,B,I never said about drowning migrants. I basically said what a lot of people think when they see them illegally trying to enter the country which was just shoot the fucking boat. Wtf do you know about working class? Fuck all. Your party is a fucking joke cos it's been hijacked by divs like you.

Mate I come from a working class background... grew up on a shitty council estate, lived from week to week (sometimes meal to meal as I found out when I got older) - I chose to get myself some qualifications so that I could follow the career path I wanted to.
I work in an inner city school, with kids that come from the same deprived and working class background. I’m trying to give back to where I came from, to give kids the options to break the cycle if that’s what they want.

I choose Labour because they have policies that can level the playing field. If you actually bothered to spend more than 5 seconds scrutinising some of their ideas to help the working class you’d understand that, but you’d rather virtue signal about a load of bollocks you picked up from Facebook and the Sun which shows you up for the knob you are.

Name just one policy aimed at increasing the minimum wage, properly funding the NHS/Education/Welfare that is anti-working class??

Just one....

Labour will never have an election win under there current guise. The working class are not interested in the left wing. The working class have deserted labour in there droves. I guess if your left wing and working class labour are great at the moment,but not for the majority of us in this country. I'm.a floating voter. I have no affiliation to any party. I'd not vote for labour though until they shake off this leftie tag. Labour have forgotten who they're supposed to represent. I work in manufacturing,arent labour supposed to be the party for the likes of me? The party for the people? Nobody I work with votes labour. I'd vote labour again in the future but not at the moment. The way the labour party is represented on here is how the floating voter sees them. Frothing left wingers who scream and shout nazi,racist,bigot at you if you disagree with them or dare raise a genuine question about something. This is why floating voters like me are kind of forced to vote Tory. I'm not getting pulled into a discussion about all this by the labour party 'enthusiasts' on here as you just cant seem to reason with them. They seem to be more into the labour party than they are the city. Like I've said,labour need to win back us,the working class neutral types we dont feel like you represent us anymore,no the Tories dont represent the working class but we know what the Tories are about,looking after the Tories but at least they dont pretend to represent the working class like labour do. Que the usual frothing idiots.

Out of interest what Labour polices in particular do you object to and what Conservative polices encouraged you to vote for them?

You don’t want left-wing but can’t even define it....

I'm beginning to think our idea of a short peak and what the reality will be are different, flattening the curve means getting and maintaining a plateau position. That feels like where we're at, we could be adding biggish numbers of new infections for a while, but, as we've increased testing we don't know that the previously reported numbers were accurate.

But the idea was never for a short peak? Not according to the graphs they liked to show back at the start

The guy’s a fucking idiot and not worth bothering with, anyone who doesn’t fit in with your narrow minded point of view is labelled as middle class.

You would need a major news network on side along with a major right or centre right newspaper and that’s never happening here. Johnson has had the virus and will take the credit for it going away-it’s the equivalent of Churchill taking a bullet in terms of effect on popularity

But Churchill lost the election after the war.

My kids are bored of doing it. They can’t get their heads around people voting for the party that reduced spending due to austerity and who almost without disagreement those working in the nhs said don’t vote for. And now we are depending on them let’s clap them rather than pay them what their worth and give them equipment they need to do their job and maybe don’t leave their pay increases at 1% for a decade

Sorry, what I mean is what appears to be the general perception in the public, peak sort of implies a shortish period before it starts to decline. What I'm saying is that I don't think the public understands what the flatttened curve means in actual numbers, and if it's what we've got currently then it's dreadful. We'll be at 25k within a week which was the last number Vallance came out with.
