No you are right, being a northern working class person isn't key to holding a seat in Liverpool. More's the pity. Liverpool has been ill served by most of its former MPs bar Eric Heffer, Eddie Lloyden and Terry Fields.<br /><br />Like you I also lived in Southport, though there was a gap before I moved to Childwall and therefore I too have no scouse accent.<br /><br />Yes Liverpool is changing but it is also going to waste and declining as the manufacturing heart is and has been torn out and Speke reduced to an industrial desert.<br /><br />My main point was that parachuting in a Blairite Zionist was an insult to those who live there. Unfortunately people were so brow beaten that they didn't understand that simple fact and voted for someone who had nothing to do with them and had no experience of poverty, unemployment etc.<br /><br />I have no xenophobia but I detest people like Berger and her New Labour acolytes. If that's prejudiced so be it but socialism is prejudiced against the parasites who rule over us and lay down their morality. Marx abandoned his wealthy background, as I'm sure you'll know, depending instead on Engels!Tony Greensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14300640929161205370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640441812647446166.post-62908979342338729542012-01-12T01:58:33.203+00:002012-01-12T01:58:33.203+00:00I just stumbled across your article Tony and you m...I just stumbled across your article Tony and you make some fair points....but you also make some outrageously stupid points too. Can you tell me are being a socialist from a northern working class background key to holding a seat in Liverpool? Surely knowing a football manager's name from an era before Luciana was even born isn't is it ? <br />I have lived in and around Liverpool for 20 years and I'm still confronted on a quite regular basis enquiring of my origin "as you don't have an accent?". I was born in Warrington and grew up mainly in Southport moving to Liverpool as an adult. I don't have an accent because the way i was educated, not because i'm 'posh' as so often I'm accused of by people in Merseyside. Fortunately Liverpool is changing as it rapidly becomes more cosmopolitan and diverse, the old attitudes about what your class qualifies you to do or be are fading into history. <br />Don't you think it's time to re-evaluate your values and maybe ditch the old fashioned xenophobia, you're probably a lovely fella, after all your are a socialist.....& isn't socialism all about equality. Read some Karl Marx.... you know, that well known socialist who was from a wealthy middle class family!ndkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147364030104642574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640441812647446166.post-16848281940396302582010-04-26T02:14:51.653+01:002010-04-26T02:14:51.653+01:00Not that I want to be party political, but I would...Not that I want to be party political, but I would probably also vote Lib Dems if I was registered to vote. They were at least against the War in Iraq and, of the three main parties, their leader is the only one not to be a patron of the JNF.<br />MSWeb Sahibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11369028147256186896noreply@blogger.com
