For what it's worth .
I am getting on and grew up in a pit village .
Back in the day Labour represented the workers .
These workers were miners , steelworkers , factory workers , shipyard workers etc.
The world has now changed .
Workers now are in hairdressers , nail bars , coffee shops , cafes or in consultancy this or marketing that .
Labour party and unions are sadly obsolete.
People blamed the Corbyn effect , but he's long gone and there has been no return to Labour .
I think the Labour party has just ebbed away .
Majority don't want Socialism and middle Labour is just Tory .
I think it's pertinent that in spite of Boris's shortcomings and alleged sleaze , there is no visible protest or heckling at his public appearances locally .
Apathy wins the day .
