Marx was wrong about a lot, but he was spot on about the lumpenproletariat, always on hand to provide muscle for the Far Right. If you can attend a Britain First event, then the definition of "working-class" needs to be pretty elastic to include you. What work, exactly? And you have almost certainly never voted Labour in your life. You have probably not voted very much at all, but you have almost certainly never voted Labour.
The English still insist that their footballers have to come from the horny-handed sons of the toil, so take a look at the national side. Far from there being something called "the white working class", the working class is in fact the most racially integrated section of society. It turns out coffee-coloured people by the score, and indeed by the First XI. But there has always been something below it.
Keir Starmer has lost the liberal bourgeoisie by having performed his 180 degree turn on Brexit, and he has lost the Left by having given up the 10 Pledges. So the lumpenproletariat is all that he has left if he wants any kind of audience, and he is going about rousing that rabble in the usual manner of those who do. Against the worst Government in living memory, we have this as a Leader of the Opposition. Yet there will quite possibly be an Asian Prime Minister this time next year.
Depending on local circumstances, in each constituency at the next General Election there should be one Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat or Independent candidate who subscribed to this and this. The complete list of those candidates would appear here, and anywhere else that we could get to publish it. If I could raise enough money to be a viable candidate, then I would contest the seat where the most people had offered to sign my nomination papers. Please give generously.
