Labour "ruling elite" "worried sick" about Jeremy Corbyn says Len McCluskey

Rooftop wind turbines is the metropolitan elite's equivalent of Marie Antionette's "let them eat cake". That is why such an inconsequential hing is so sognificant, it emphasises how out of touch and past their sell-by-date they are.

Nigel farage has transformed British politics, he has shaken the metropolitan elite to its core. It is irrelevant if he never gets elected, he has changed the country. COrbyn has also changed British politics. It is irrelevant if he doesn't win the leadership race. The modernsers will never be the same again.

Peter Oborne on Farage

"Every so often, Britain is shaken by a new political force that articulates a sense of frustration at the old structures, or a yearning for something new. Sometimes these movements – like the Labour Party at the start of the 20th century – turn into a momentous presence that permanently transforms the national landscape. More usually they wither and fade.
...
But this energy was invisible to the metropolitan elite. When Ukip gained its first major breakthrough, scoring 16 per cent of the national vote in the 2004 European elections, the BBC literally wrote it out of the script. Its election graphs recorded the Ukip vote as “other”, even though it had won more votes than the Liberal Democrats and not that many fewer than Labour."

They had try and hide the truth, bury their heads in the sand, but things have changed forever. Corbyn has shown the holllowness at the heart of Labour and Blairism. People have been waiting for someone to stand up and be counted and now even Unison has backed Corbyn. People are exhilarated, they actually believe they can break free from the dead hand and dead heart of Blairism and the metropolitan elite, and UKIP voters know that rooftopm wind turbines will be the next thing to go down the pan along with Blairism and the rest of the spin.

'I admit nationalising and re nationalising may be a bit much'

I disagree, it is now necessary.

'they no longer 'control' our Base Interest Rate moves, as they can use them for their political ends.'

The political ends of good politicians, non-metropolitan elite ones, are the ends of the people, the wishes of the people, to serve the people. Politicians and politics is about implementing the democratic will of the people and that requires control over finance, investment, interest rates and economic policy in order to serve the best interests of the country and its people, not to serve the interests of independent bankers.

'Because Labour's membership is about 200,000, and you need more than 200,000 votes to win an election.'

That membership is active and dedicated. Just because the rest of us don't join parties, don't assume we don't agree with active members. Finally the Labour active members have rebelled against their Oxbridge rulers and have joined the people who were always anti the metropolitan elite.

'A senior Labour politician, who would be classed as mainstream but so far is not backing any of the four, attributed Corbyn’s success so far to the failure of Burnham, Cooper and Kendall to grip the imagination. “Corbyn looks relaxed because he has nothing to lose. He has not flipped: he has remained consistent. He has tapped into what people are saying and thinking. The electorate is often ahead of politicians and Corbyn is the one who has managed to catch up with them.”

The active members in the Labour Party have caught up with the people, they have joined us who were way ahead all along.

'What's this obsession with wind turbines?'

Ask the metropolitan elite? That is what us UKIP supporters want to know. But of course we already know the answer, we are wise to their games.

'Corbyn Under Same Establishment Attack as I Was'

The Establishment is floundering. Everyone denies they are part of it. Burnham says he isn't metropolitan elite and prefers to hang out with his mates from schooldays. Lackeys are reluctant to admit they are with the metropolitan elite, everyone is speaking mockney, dropping h's, dropping t's, saying they are one of the people and no longer acting as if public money grows on trees.

The Establishment is down to their last helpers - interns from Oxbridge on less than minimum wage. They are the only volunteers they have left, the people have gorn long ago, they are in the People's Armies cheering on the insurgents. Young people are enthused and manning phones for Corbyn which ring around the clock. A couple of interns are manning the phones for the modernisers but those phones never ring. Silence, doom and despair is all the Establishment see, while elsewhere the people are attending insurgent rallies full of hope and glee.

Farage on Corbyn

"Corbyn Under Same Establishment Attack as I Was
...
The Westminster village is in a state of shock. In 2014 there was horror that UKIP led in the opinion polls in the run up to the European Elections. This led to a spiteful, vindictive anti-Farage campaign to tell the world how appalling I was and that why voting UKIP was a huge mistake.

Without doubt this assault took the top off the most optimistic poll ratings but solidified the strong base. We came first. And in 2015 a similar but even more remarkable phenomenon came into view. The threat of the Scottish National Party causing a landslide in Scottish seats in the general election.

Despite an outbreak of hysteria, they managed to win 56 out of the 59 seats. In 2015, the Jeremy Corbyn apocalypse is upon us. A shock poll conducted by YouGov for The Times shows that on first preference votes he is 17 per cent in the lead.

Two tribes have gone to war. Blair’s New Labour vs Corbyn’s Old Labour. And here’s the funny thing: amongst the electorate at large whether it’s in Greece, or Spain or the UK there are very large numbers of people who believe the Iraq War was wrong. Who believe the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Who believe that the big corporate businesses now hold too much sway over our public life. Whether you come from the hard left or the moderate centre right it’s difficult to disagree with these analyses.

Agree, suzanne, politics is starting to get exciting again. The lock on the middle ground by the metropolitan elite has been broken by Farage on the right and Corbyn on the left. One thing's for sure, a change is going to come, the same old same old is now history.

'But there was never a Labour government that didn't disappoint me in some way," he said'

Does he not understand that they are Establishment, PPEs?

At least, Billy is now backing Corbyn and has abandoned the modernisers from Oxbridge.

Galloway wasn't best pleased.

'Billy Bragg under fire for backing pro-war MP'
...
The singer, who quit the Labour Party over its backing of the 1991 Gulf War, played a concert to raise funds for the re-election bid of Oona King, MP for Bethnal Green and Bow.

At the general election expected in May, her 10,057 majority is being challenged by former Labour MP George Galloway, who is standing for the anti-war Respect party. Following the gig at the Spitz club in Spitalfields, Bragg received a series of derogatory emails from opponents of the war.

He admitted people had been "disappointed in him", but said opposing Labour could split the vote and let the Tories in. "We were misled over weapons of mass destruction. But there was never a Labour government that didn't disappoint me in some way," he said.'

'"Even Billy Bragg supports Corbyn" post.

Billy Bragg has always been hard left'

I remember the days when George Galloway was cheesed off with Billy, when Billy supported Blairite Oona King against Galloway in the East End of London.
