PFR - Why should us working class folk accept "left wing Tommy Robinsons"? Extremism in any form is a anathema. I was brought up on council estates in Salford and like Steve spent my early years in a 2 up 2 down street entranced terrace with no bathroom. My Dad, a Polish painter and decorator, spent his life here as a union activist and Labour supporter while hating fascists and communists with equal venom. I worked in the building trade from doing holiday jobs labouring to being a site inspector for Manchester council until I discovered I was better at IT. Yet I would never dream of supporting an extremist of any ilk. Your depiction of the working class being drudges who live in the gutter, piss their money up the wall and are easily swayed by populism is as out of touch as the very politicians you are railing against. What I and many like me want is a government that looks after everyone's interests equally. Not populist trickery from any side.
