Yes, of course Britain is less racist than France, or the Netherlands, or the United States. But much as I admire each of those countries in many other ways, that is setting the bar very low indeed. And yes, of course inequality is primarily about class, and vice versa. A Conservative Government now says that, while such language would never pass the lips of the present Labour front bench.
But the slave trade financed enclosure, so there has been One Struggle since at least that long ago. They were taught at public school to divide and rule us, but they can only do that if we let them. Do not let them. For example, do not be distracted by their suspiciously well-publicised Northern Independence Party, with its whippet for an emblem, and with its textbook too-many-gins-at-the-school-staff-party nonsense about being "Northumbrian, not English".
Brexit was the issue on which the North last asserted itself in earnest, but the Whippet Party is so pro-EU that it has selected Thelma Walker. Quite apart from the fact that Northern independence is never going to happen, culturally and politically the areas that decide national referendums and General Elections are not here to break away. We are here to take over.
And the refugees from Keir Starmer who are joining the Northern Independence Party do have to face the fact that Boris Johnson is Prime Minister because he picked up seven seats in the North East (with an eighth about to fall), nine seats in Yorkshire and the Humber, and 12 seats in the North West, plus five seats in North Wales. The results at Hartlepool, of the local elections, and for the Senedd ought to bring the point home to them. But it won't.
