I hope you had the presence of mind to cycle up there mate, God forbid your 600 mile round trip would add more to the carbon footprint of Bono etc.
Mind you the amount of veggies up there (apart from the ones caught queuing at McDonalds for their bacon burgers) must be putting out more methane and hot air than 4-5 herd of cattle altogether !

Don't forget to check yer mobile phone / Ipad for all the latest demo get togethers , Cant wait to see you on the telly with a big pot of carcinogenic, polluting the atmosphere super glue sticking yer hand to an ELECTRIC train.

Just something I've got to do mate, can't explain it any other way. A bit like needing to get to Wembley to watch city get promoted!!

Would you like to detail how I, a middle class one time Labour Party officer and trades union official , have abandoned the white working class?

Please don't say "because you support Remain" - I know plenty of white working class people who do as well. This myth that the entire white working class voted to Leave therefore this is what we must do is as inaccurate as it is toxic

Come on art, post the referendum aggrieved Remain voters couldn’t wait to flag up the lower socioeconomic status and educational standards of your average Leave voter. You do remember that surely?
Come the next GE I expect vast tracts of the North to follow the Midlands lead and realise that Corbyn’s Labour are now the party of the middle class inhabitants of the University cities and metropolitan areas with bigger than average immigrant communities. I’ve obviously no idea if you personally have contributed to Labours abandonment of its traditional core vote.

Take care up there Geoff, it’s seems ordinary Londoners have grown tired of you middle class away day protesters filling your empty days of blissful retirement with abject buffoonery at their expense.

My blissful retirement as you put it is anything but empty, sunshine. It's pretty much filled, with a lot of it to do with grand children. It's them I'll be thinking of not tired Londoners. The thing is the majority of the general public don't really want to face up to the situation we are all in. Too much out of the comfort zone. When they do come around to realising what is happening it will probably be an unstoppable runaway train by then.

Come on Tavy, you are retreating into stereotypes and tropes again. All Remainers think all Leavers are thick. Time and again I and other have asked for evidence of any prominent Remain campaigner saying this, and answer has come there none other than a few obscure blogs that Jason has managed to unearth. Your specific charge is that "The abandonment of the white working class by the Labour Party is writ large on these very pages" yet apart from Anon/D lock's momentary lapse of reason for which he was very strongly condemned I can't recall any evidence to back up your assertion. Perhaps you'd like to supply some?

I'm tempted to pop by on the way to Cambridge, especially now that protesting has been banned. Interesting the difference in how the Stephen Yaxley-Lennon protests were handled, wit the police providing all sorts of assistance, and a stage was erected outside the court. Interesting to see who teh establishment support.

If we leave, trade talks with the EU to begin on November 1st. Much to discuss and argue over. All we've done so far is the financial settlement, citizens rights and the British border in Ireland. So much for done and dusted.....

More integrity from our great Prime Minister

You mean like the police assistance to guide a rival faction of hate filled muslims and limp wristed rock throwing millenials towards a perfectly LEGAL gathering of his supporters instead of putting a line of police between them ?
The ER protest have been deemed unlawful , Arrest the whole lot PQD … Including Geoff lol.
