And it’s fair to say that the party has decisively swung to the centre, but still way better than the alternative. Don’t be discouraged to vote, cause it’s exactly how some people want you to feel so that they can keep on taking advantage of you. You know why politicians aren’t defending working class people as strongly as in the past? Because 30-40% less working class people go to vote! Our strength is in our numbers, if we don’t show up during election day, there’s lots of money that will suffocate the voice of the few that still go out to vote… let’s keep on voting.

Rubbish is everywhere on the edge of the road, which looks like very poor leadership. This keeps the bad reputation of the British road system and poor management.
