Have fun.

Not many doors on a street stall.

A neolithic burial chamber?

Not a long barrow

The sort of barrow you have in a market selling fruit etc.

Why bring Corbyn's plans for the country's defence into this?

I was reading a spat on Twitter between some "traditional" Labour Party members and members of momentum. Essentially Momentum don't believe in archaic knocking in doors. It's all about social media. When challenged about how they will learn what the public thinks, the response was that they don't care.

I have followed the split on Labour quite closely over the the last few months. A lot of my friends have voted Labour all their life but they really aren't sure whether they still belong in the party.

Nick, what is a "have not"? Genuine question, there's plenty that we could all claim not to have. The poor have been improving every year since 2009 according to the Institute of Fiscal studies. Not as quickly as the rich BUT there is an element of logic to that

1. Plenty of positive responses from the good people of Eltham as well as a couple of 'As soon as we get those f***ing East Europeans out everything will be alright' type responses.

2. Have nots could be described as those who work hard but still struggle to pay bills / feed the family.

Well it was Eltham! What was the opinion about Corbyn?
In general I agree ref point 2 but there's a lot of people who are where they are due to over stretching themselves.

What about the have nots who don't work? I think that this is where the left / centre / right probably disagree most. What is your take on it?

Expand on your classic boy who cried wolf please. I'm not sure you are using the correct analogy (that's using something similar to highlight what it is your getting at if it's too complicated a word.)

BTW FYI: Ad Hominem
adjective
1. appealing to one's prejudices, emotions, or special interests rather than to one's intellect or reason.
2. attacking an opponent's character rather than answering his argument.

The word is "you're". Just saying

It all depends on why they don't work. They could be unable and have had benefits removed or cut. They may be ex steelworkers whose livelihoods have been taken away and not been replaced. Could be because of lack of investment in poorer areas.

I'm sure the old daily fail myth of generations of the same family not working has been debunked.

What are the figures for those out of work for more than two years?

In Eltham most I spoke to agreed that they didn't like what is going on with cuts etc and that policies that Corbyn proposes are a positive step. A fair few said he was unelectable but couldn't go beyond the he's scruffy or other sort of media guff type answers. Those who said they didn't support Labour gave he's a commie type answers.

Labour came round mine today. I told them theT they were doing a great job and should be 'more left wing'.

The two canvassers lapped up my answers and went off giddy with glee that they thought they had a new voter.

The fools.
