Lovely, an' all.

So if that had anything at all to do with supporting unions, how come in
2005 only 35% voted Labour, in 2010 29%, and this year 30%?

So how big do you think the majority was,in the 50's,60's,and 70's ?


I neither know nor care.

"Working class" might have actually _meant_ something in the '50s, but
even by that stage it was an anachronism. By the '60s it was becoming
increasingly irrelevant, and by the '70s it was almost entirely ********.
