Whilst I have no time for him, some of the left wing allegations are ludicrous. He will be re-elected for sure bar some major scandal. The left has been hijacked imho, by agenda driven politics that doesnt resonate with average Joe. Thats why New Labour succeeded. They took the centre ground. Any extreme, left or right, alienates the reasonable and fair minded, which I beleive most people are. As Ive said, I cannot vote Labour while those agendas, which belong in the 1970's, are being used as sticks to beat people with.
By way of example, our Black Country flag, designed by a school child, was deemed as racist by the elected MP for Wolverhampton. Now I understand that slavery used chains and this area was prominent in the chainmaking history amongst other things. But to link a school girls design with something that happened over a century ago as a racist design is frankly ludicrous. Do we then accuse all ships of representing racism???
