Swear they hate the tories City's dependent on certain industries where work was sparodic and dangerous tend to be left wing because they were treated badly by employers and owners. Their working-class populations built strong communities and a sense of solidarity, which translated into their political allegiances. As a result miners and dockers historically have a greater sense of collectivism, than other towns and cities. https://www.northbeckton.newham.sch.uk/_site/data/files/curriculum/1CF1C135D73BE8251F47A47603A1DA70.pdf Quote Every day up to 3,000 men arrived at the docks hoping to get a few hours’ work unloading the ships that arrived in the docks from all over the world. A man called a ‘ganger’ was in charge of choosing who would work on the docks that day. He had a certain number of tokens to give out. They may be reduced to folk memories now but the stories of injustices get passed on to every new generation, and voting for any other party than Labour would seem like a betrayal.

She ended up gathering the evidence herself and proving her case without any assistance. Meanwhile it kept happening to others who were too scared to do anything.

All you have to do is go on trust pilot and see unisons reviews. They are **** awful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Now they're going to ensure that ministers must fly on normal airlines if they are available, and not on private jets. I'm sensing a pattern - policies based on all the things that have irked us about the tories lately... still, I agree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
