Al - you've always been one of the mudcatters I've most liked..
but recently something's got to you and soured your opinions...???

It's almost like your mudcat account has been hijacked...

But what you have been saying and getting upset about,
mirrors the general malaise amongst traditional working class labour voters,
which has lead to the party's severest electorial arse kicking...

Over the last few years I've been aware of the growing mass disaffection with labour,
becoming more and more hostile,
as ukip and tommy robinson supporters have exploited the problems
to recruit unhappy labour voters to their far right cause...
Which the tories have now obviously reaped the benefit of...

When I've engaged with folks on the internet,
my message has been; yes, labour is going off track,
but it would be better to stay and fight to bring the party back to it's working class roots,
than buggering off and becoming useful idiots for the far right...
Clearly, my attempts fell on deaf eyes and minds...
