He prolly would look ...pretty good...with a shaved head. Might look a little like Telly Savalas in the Eighties.

I'm partially a socialist in that I detest materialism and consumerism, and can't see why anyone needs or should have more than about £25,000 to £50,000 per year. I'm also from a Northern working class background, and can't identify a great deal with the lifestyles and opinions of the British middle classes and upwards.

I'd find it very difficult to vote Labour though, mainly because of their obsession with identity politics and political correctness, which I loathe.

Thing is, that after Thatcher left office, the Tories tried a couple of more traditionally Conservative leaders in Duncan-Smith and Howard, but these guys just failed to make much impact. After that, the Tories capitulated and elected their own versions of Tony Blair, namely Cameron, May and now Johnson. They also seem to be scared to say anything against the ridiculously named 'progressive' consensus on social and cultural matters, and have taken the soft option of embracing that agenda, which is another reason I'll never vote for them.

Do you like 'Blue labour'? Paul Embery? I'm from a solid, middle class background, but severe mental illness has pushed me down the social scale . I'm too down at heel to mix with middle class types , but on the other hand quite a few working class people over the years have regarded me as a 'f*****g weirdo'. If Labour went 'blue labour' I'd vote for them still but with a big peg on my nose.

^ I'd never heard of Paul Embery, but I've just looked him up and he sounds interesting - will have to investigatte this further.

I actually was fortunate enough to win an open scholarship to one of our top two universities, and came into contact with all manner of people who were to become part of the elite in politics, business, the arts, etc. It would normally have been pretty much guaranteed that I'd have become middle class or upper middle class despite my 'humble' background, but I was never able to cultivate the friendships and contacts which would have led to that, and was never really interested in doing so. I pretty much dropped out of the system twenty years ago, and have 'slummed it' ever since...

What you say about working class people resonates with me too. Most of them probably wouldn't accept me as one of their own either. I'm past caring by now.

Alexander. His real name is Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson.
His real skill really is in dodging questions, he's quite the brilliant marketing strategist, I'm afraid. He ruffles his hair before appearing in public, that's his brand - look at 20th century dictators: they seem to all have quite distinctive beards... Boris' hairstyle is his Hitler-moustache.

My biggest complaint about Boris is that he refuses to give me the number of his hairdresser. Selfish swine!

To be quite honest each time I see him and Starmer all I can think about are Beavis and Butthead. The hair colours match and you can just imagine "He He He Brexit" and "Uhhuhuhuh Unions" coming out of their mouths.

it' true that the US don't have a left party, just one ruthless capitalist one and one ruthless capitalist one that thinks being gay and abortion should not be crimes, but capitalized on.

but Labour had Blair, as much as the German SPD had Schroeder. it's not clear how those parties are by definition left/labour/worling class parties, and not just... ruthless capitalists who think you should make money on rainbow flags.
the Green party's foreign minister under Schroeder joined Putin's Gazprom board after office.
