Exhibit A of why Labour are losing elections. The people supporting them actually believe these are factors here?
Its amazing how people don't make the link with the decline of the union movement with everything thats happening now.

I remember having an argument years ago with a mate who was banging on about unions holding the country and economy to ransom.
Kept going on about those bloody wharfies.
The wharfies probably got more than their fair share.
But consider what power they held back then, what it represented.
That could stop the imports and exports of goods. They could hit capital where it hurt.
They were flag bearers for the rights of workers everywhere.

While the wharfies took their bit extra.
It now looks inconsequential to to the rape of wealth the elites have taken out of the economy while everyones conditions and security slip away.

There's no more power of the people anymore. Its gone. We get entertained every now and then but nothing chnages unless its in the favour of elites.
Who/what are the people who voted for Brexit going to blame the social problems on next. Whose going to be the next scapegoat now that Brexit is going ahead. Or do we just keep blaming it on the Pakis etc etc.
 
I suspect that anyone capable of recording themselves making a Pokemon rap and posting it on a football forum, is unlikely to be the nost intimidating of individuals (to most adults I hasten to add).

Here's a thought - maybe someone who can do that and not give a toss about what people think of them can look after themselves, hm?
