Interested to hear that, given the nature of support for eg Farage and Rees-Mogg. Or perhaps I’m at fault/prejudiced for equating working class with lower level of formal education, which isn’t necessarily the case?

Really? So why do so many working class people support the likes of Farage?

ianrobo.bsky.social•95 days ago

is that really right when so many vote for a Farage or Trump etc ? It all hides one basic uncomfortable fact, 'working class white voters' are really prejudiced I know I used to see this all the time at the pub, with ex mates or like at the footy, If this was true Angela should be adored by them

I’d be interested to see this repeated for the UK as I think we tend to do the opposite.
Many 100s of years of a rigid class structure and knowing our place within it, and the resulting cap doffing and deference, has left us thinking investment bankers and public school boys have all the answers.

Er, Johnson/Farage/Trump?
