He wouldn't be the first fashy-Midlander to big up his part. I recall that baldy Kipper who reckoned he was the first man on the moon and had played for Crewe. Or summat.

If Lee had spent more time with working class swing voters in key marginals, he’d have discovered they preferred tax cuts from Dominic’s dad to subsidizing the demands of Arthur Scargill.

Go to any English small town and discuss skin colour if you want to hear elitist attitudes.

Round about 1992-ish I was talking to an anti-racist worker who told me that fash activism could be mapped from an estate near Walsall, then up the A38 corridor before reaching Mansfield, where even then the BNP were getting 2-300 at meetings

Don’t know why the ‘not far right, oh no’ have a foothold in that region. I get how the BNP’s populist protectionism would gain traction in a region where thousands of secure jobs in manufacturing have disappeared but a free market cowboy like Farage? You muppets.

Mainstream media brand the far right as knuckle dragging thugs, barely coherent and unable to string a sentence together.

Suburban slime think "how crude, we're not like that.

Vaguely smart looking (and sounding) man in a smart suit turns up spouting the same ideas in slightly more flowery language and with the rough edges sanded off. "Oh well, he's just saying it as it is, if he's such an extremist how come they let him on Question Time, you've got to admit he's got a point...".

According to Wikki he was a miner for 10 years, given his age he must have started early/mid 80's so after the big strike. Working in a coalfield that did not strike so would have been in UDM not NUM. He's been saying recently he was working 12 hour nightshifts 7 days a week, something I find very unlikely, unless he pushed himself to the from of the queue

This was the pre-Nick Griffin BNP, who were more extreme than even the NF. It was all about being white in a white area and seeing the neighbouring cities being 'invaded'.

Yep, the John Tyndall BNP, with Combat 18. Unlike Griffin, not bothered with winning council seats in Debden. Long game race war.

Lee doesn’t ask the political affiliation of people who want to take a picture with him wearing a Screwdriver* t-shirt.

I think, coming out with a rebuttal like that, *he's* the one who's getting rattled.

I find 30p Lee such a dumb parody that I really can't be arsed wasting keystrokes on his publicity stunts.


Yet here I am....

He has shat his own credibility beyond measure which leaves a rather bewildered Sunak a country mile behind where he started.

That much is quite heartening.

Lee Anderson is now resorting to retweeting Richard Littlejohn's articles. Funnily enough they are both incensed by woke policemen.

Always amazes me how such families seem to pollute the political media.

And yet they know what working class people think.
