It was a bit of a mess, not withstanding his abstain position he also continued to shout over Ridge and his attack seemed to focus on Labour rejecting it like it was two faced but they’ve opposed it for a while now.

The late Victor Lewis-Smith noted that the media and political classes tend to have a very cliched and outdated view of the working class, as evidenced by the perennial "beer and fags" bit of the Budget.

Another example being the mushy peas/guacamole story, which appears to have happened to every vaguely rich left winger in the English speaking world, and was probably started by Richard II to discredit Wat Tyler.

It used to be wine drinkers as a disparaging label that politicians were about a decade behind the popular zeitgeist on.
There are some nice sea front cafes-restaurants in Kinnock's constituency. Rare bit of regeneration success for the area. I expect Kinnock has visited. Maybe he kicked off because they would't serve him instant coffee in a styrofoam cup for 50p.

First heard the story in the 80s with dapper Larry Whitty in the seat. The punchline was ‘can I have some of the advocado stuff.’ Thanks to New Labour we became sophisticated enough to know what guacamole was.
