"But I think it is dishonourable to keep badmouthing all the people who voted for him, when the other side found them to be invisible."

This is the case both sides of the Atlantic and something I agree with Ake on; there is a huge section of society that no-one was listening to. It's easy to lump all these folk into a single mass of "deplorables", but that would be a mistake.

There is no sharing of wealth, zero hours contracts are becoming the norm and are difficult to live on and our sponging politicians have abandoned large swathes of the population: the tories never cared anyway and Labour has become a London-centric and out of touch with the country at large. People are distrustful of the media and all this plays into the hands of demagogues and alt-right 'patriots' like Farage and Trump, who find fertile ground to sow their poisonous, evil seeds of discontent and targeting foreigners and other helpless scapegoats.

The world is changing, and we need to be sure the process we've made on so many fronts in society are not pissed away because people want to give the toffs a kicking. Farage and Trump are shills for the establishment they claim to abhor, we need to find a way to engage ordinary people and develop new industries so we can make things again, backed by science and technology.
