Sorry about that, wrong key - please delete the above.
Leadfingers - it was! The Sun used to be the 'Daily Herald', a ( or the) Labour supporting paper before the Dirty Digger took it over. I don't suppose its readers had noticed! It's probably neither left nor right in the strict sense but more what we might call populist.
Left and right defies definition I always think and their extremes bend round to meet each other. A local factory recently made all their British workers redundant and then hired Polish workers at a lower hourly rate and with no or little industrial rights. The Poles were greatly resented; an attitude fueled by the Right although the British workers were naturally Left supporters. Were the British workers rascist? The Poles were a soft target, those who allowed this situation to develop were not. These paradoxes are brought out in some of Phil Och's songs as well as in the film 'Matewan', when the striking miners attack the Black and Italian 'scabs' who are brought in by the mine owners.
