Hebden Bridge has the highest ratio of lesbians per population in the U.K. However, after a cursory internet search, they appear to be 'reality' lesbians, as opposed to 'fantasy' lesbians, whose activities are documented on film found on any healthy young mans hard drive.

However, I digress, how brave of Jezza to hold a rally in an area of high minority population, and not the angry sort of minority, either. One wonders why he isn't holding such rallies in places like Stoke or Hartlepool, where the people voted almost 4-to-1 in some places for Brexit? Maybe it's because the current Labour leadership think of the white working class as being a bit 'eurggh' and don't really want to be associated with them?

Sorry that's a loadof s***e

I don't believe the polls. I think Labour are going to get absolutely humped, all the indicators (economic competence, leadership, Scotland) point to a landslide victory for the Conservatives. Don't think they'll be far off a three-figure majority.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

See what does this even mean? I'm guessing by 'typical' you mean 'white', yes?

Corbyn appears to be appealing to the BME working class on a near unprecedented level, a sizeable group of the modern working class, and a group which has typically been disenfranchised because of successive government policies.

But also look at his rallies, and listen to the people interviewed at them. These are in places like York, Leeds, Leicester, not exactly bourgeois metropolitan havens. He's getting thousands turning up. Who was the last politician in this country who could get thousands for a rally in places like that?

I'm not saying he is. But he is clearly appealing to large sections of previously disillusioned groups within our electorate, many of whom are low earners. That is great for our democracy.

Let's not forget we live in a country where most in poverty are in work. Pledges to increase the minimum wage, build new council homes, and reduce the tax burden on the poorest are such a refreshing change to the past 7 years. Labour are finally returning to their roots as a party for the working classes.

Can you hear yourself?

So you are suggesting that only the Tories make give away pledges in their Manifestos?
And I doubt any party with a 20 point lead is 'desperate'.

Grow up.
