  1. Mr. Owers leaves virtually no bias unrevealed in this interview. The whole idea of a publisher which is going to take on board authors and commentators who are speaking out against the current authodoxies is music to my ears. However, the first movement of his concerto was drowned out by a cacophony of pigeon holing terminology.

  2. The Labour Party was formed by a working class man, this is indisputable. However, to say the labour movement itself was formed by the working class is a very odd claim. If we look at what caused the Labour Party to come into being; it was nothing to do with the working class. The trades' unions were the children of oppressed workers, forming guilds and associations to ensure that they were not starved, or made homeless, prior to being worked to an early death, by unregulated capitalists. The first steps towards working people having parlimentary representation was purely, pseudo egalitarianism by their oppressors. The granting of the franchise to the working class was not an act of generosity, it was an appeasment of the common folk to avert a revolution. The ideologies that brought about the rumblings of revolt, were predominantly fuelled by the upper and middle classes' cathartic desires to help those poor dears in the mills and mines, to eat and keep a roof over their heads, so that they could feel less guilty about their trust funds and silk under garments. The Fabians, the Social Democrats and The Scotish Labour Party all have their origins deep in the belly fat of upper class Tories, upper middle class academics, artists and writers. Like the Bloomsbury Group and the Pre-Rapaelites, who believed themselves to be "Radicals" and went down slumming it with the great unwashed to either virtue signal to their Suburban wannabe chums or to cock a snook to their parents and their stuffy old conservatve and liberal values. Does any of this sound familiar? The Labour Party as it stands is as detached from its roots as the spoilt greatgreatgrandson of an industrial revolutionary entrepreneur, is from the life his ancient ancestor may have been born to.

  3. I think you will find it was your grandmother that got the vote after ww1. The working class men already had the franchise extended to them in the middle and late 19th century. The left is a non plural non-countable noun. There are no lefts. You should have used the possesive case, left's when referring to their Oppression Olympics. Please try to prorect the language. It is under enough pressure from the wokes. The majority of the oppression in this world is absolutely nothing to do with identities such as; gender, race, creed or disability. It is entirely to do with class. It just so happens that the majority of members of all of these, oppressed minority groups, are economically oppressed. The reason for this, so called woke, phenomenon is to factionalise the majority of the non-elite population. Driven entirely by those with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. The sooner they realise this, and stand with us instead of agsinst us, (ie. Working Class) the sooner we can defeat the common enemy. The banks, big corporations and institutions like the aristocracy and monarchy.

  5.  @multirichardb  what is the question? UK people are a very diverse group. Do not apply American notions of scale to Brits. Travel a few miles in any direction you will find a slightly different culture.

  6.  @thenewyorkcitizen  It is really weird how the working class have been disenfranchised by the urban liberal elites hijacking of our political parties. In truth there really is no centre left political movement which is not infected by some wokification. So old school lefties are left out in the cold.
