The English Working class has awakened and they are angry - watch this video and realise that Gordon Brown has been "racist" towards the working class English of all colours.

This is sadly the shape of things to come and next year when the cuts come - which they will whether under Tories or New Labour these scenes in Manchester will be magified 10 times over.....

This country is finished.

You're a bit of a doom merchant br. This is just a scene of a group of people chanting EDL down some Manchester street. Its hardly a cause for national concern. I don't think Gordon Brown has damaged the working class, this is caused by an influx of cheap labour from Poland and other Eastern European countries, meaning that the wages of the working classes are depressed. Brown doesn't have much say in this as it is a European directive. If and when Turkey gets into the EU, the problem will be exasperated further, and the increasing unemployment problem will worsen.

Actually that is where you are wrong Robbie.

The UK could have restricted the Eastern European "Invasion" because other countries limited or banned them for the first 3 years of their membership as was allowed.

We just opened our doors because New Labour said less than 100,000 would come to the UK. Because all other countries banned them for 3 years we ended up with over a MILLION.

I have visited some areas where local services have collapsed ( Slough - Herefordshire etc ) because they were not prepared for a 30% increase in their population of immigrants in areas not noted for immigration in the past.

The stresses on the local economies have been massive and only now are they beginning to come to terms with it.

In London we cope with any number of immigrants because we are used to it and have been for over 60 years. But to suggest that the rest of the UK is the same as London is quite a narrow view of the UK.

For instance the Poles arrived with cash to rent ( or even buy ) property in the first wave and that was one of the reasons that prices went up and local buyers were pushed out of local housing. Many Poles had sold up in Poland and started by living 8 to a room in these houses saving most of their money and then also moving out in housing.

The benefit system as set up by New Labour with its Tax Credits etc traps the working class and does not allow them mobility. Therefore immigrants are more flexible when it comes to taking a job as well. As NORMAN TEBBIT famously said - "get on your bike" which is excellent advice - but in 2009 someone on benefit is locked into where they live and onto benefits. So the only people who have that option are those from outside the UK.

These are serious policy faults. They represent a lack of understanding of how the poorer working class actually live. New Labour elite are totally cut off from ordinary people and see everything as a FORM to fill out or set of STATISTICs. They dont see the people - hence we are just fodder for the Big Brother state.

Ironically - the Tory Party have changed so much and now recognise this ( partly because Major was in the mould of New Labour ) Thatcher was very human - she actually considered the human individual ( dont believe the spin that she was a moneterist monster ) and she FREED the working class from Council House misery - allowed people to set up their own businesses for the first time in modern history and allowed people to choose their own destiny.

The MARCHERS in Manchester are important - every single one of them. There were MORE marching and singing "We want our country back" than there are MPs and LORDs in Westminster - their voice is equally important.

I am full of gloom - because your comments reflect our society. A society where many people are DISMISSED as having no valid view ( this used to be called Snobbery or class but today it is under the veil of Political Correctness )

I am sure that those people demonstrating are decent people who have become frustrated and disillusioned with the UK ( As I have under this Nazi style Government ) and their voice is valid and must be heard and their hopes and fears need to be addressed.

The SILENCE from the Government about these passionate demo's says it all. NEW LABOUR have abandoned the English Working Classes - they ignore them. If these had been Muslims they would have set up Working parties and appointed race advisors to help them and find out what they wanted. Because they are English the current "racist" New Labour party ignores them and be-littles them.

As a Christian I cant bear to see ANY person suffer for any reason. As a Christian country our Government should HELP everybody regardless of their beliefs and class. Sad to say NEW LABOUR are showing that they dont care about the English Working Class and next summer unless the Working Class get romanced by the BBC I would expect to see Labour wiped out in England completely. They deserve it.

I stand corrected on whether Brown could have stopped poles from entering the uk. He estimated 60,000 (based on what I don't know) when there was 600,000 and now many more.
However I disagree with you about the Thatcher freeing the working classes from council house misery. I think this was a big mistake. The original owners benefitted of course and then maybe voted tory, however future generations of working class can't afford to get on the housing ladder and the only avenue that was formerly open to them (council houses) has now been closed by the lack of council houses available. The people living in council houses have a good deal.a
