Ways To Reach The White Working Class

Reverse the loss of sovereignty, whether to the European Union, to the United States, or to global capital. Reverse the practical consequences of that loss, from the Common Fisheries Policy, to the Iraq War, to the credit crunch.

Halt the importation of a new working class whose members understand no English except words of command, know little or nothing about workers' rights here, can be moved around the country at will, and deported if they step out of line. Halt deference to Islam.

Bring back the traditional family and its values, not least on the airwaves. No more lap-dancing clubs. No more deregulation of drinking and gambling. Stop the Police and the Crown Prosecution Service from effectively legalising cannabis and lowering the age of consent to 13. Bring back Police patrolling the streets on foot. Do away with soft sentencing, and with indiscipline in schools.

Try mentioning manufacturing, which still accounts for more than twice the GDP of the entire financial services sector, never mind the bailout-begging City. And dstinguish between the respectable working class and the characters from Shameless, now that council and housing association tenants face having Shameless characters moved in next door to them, or even in place of them.

That would be a start, anyway.
