I was left ashamed and saddened by QT last night. A really horrible selection of people in the audience - mainly the older balding / greying folk desperate to justify voting Tory in the election by ‘what have Labour done for us? Despite Thangam telling them exactly what Labour would do they still said - yes but what would Labour do? It reminded me of the ‘what have the Romans ever done for us’ in Life of Brian’. They dont want to listen or be convinced because they need an excuse to continue voting Tory to live out their xenophobia and racism. The bile towards refugees reflected the Friday night NE pub / working mens clubs discussion for decades now. It’s all Jonny Foreigners fault. The rape our women, murder, rob, take our jobs, our houses, our school places. Ignoring lack of investment by the Tories for the last 13 years into these areas. Germany have taken 2 million refugees and we have took 170,000 but Germany don’t have a housing crisis. Vickers (my MP) is a sanctimonious arrogant Tory suit. He fuels division and hate to stoke up the worst in people to take their eye of the Tory disaster unfolding in front of them. Decent North East folk have to keep pushing decency and respect and fighting hate and division. We can only hope.
