Yes it's sad, Donkeyman. As a working class man from the north of England I think I'm typical of the confusion we face up here. People who have voted for Labour all their lives because of the 'old ideal' that the word 'Labour' means 'Work' isn't the case anymore (and hasn't been since Tony Bliar took over), we cannot vote for them in the present climate.
True, Corbyn is 'old school' but he is
too old school, stuck in the dark ages and nobody wants that desperate situation again.
So the previously loyal Labour voters here either (a) don't vote at all, (b) vote Lib Dem or Brexit or (c) are so stuck in their ways that they vote Labour anyway - but those are usually the ones who don't read the papers or watch the news, i.e. the ignorant ones who blindly go through life expecting whoever is in charge to "look after them".
