I don't think you're a Tory hacks, so you can't be a bad person.

 

You are wrong about the first and right about the second

I feel you're resisting the force, I can see you down on Jezza's allotment growing onions.

:hihi: Funnily enough, I found out a few weeks ago that Jeremy is a keen gardener , I was going to ask him for some tips but decided against it because I bet my tory onions grow bigger and better than his red ones

That's very poor hacks, it must mean you're feeling the force in a big way.

If me calling a Jeremy supporter a "Jeremy lover" upsets anyone then ,so be it . Ive been called far worse on here and not cried about it

 

2014ish (might have been 2015) My son was a fan. I was exactly like you - everything I knew about him was negative and so was my opinion of him. My son was trying to convince me that the press was biased (oh the irony) and I didn't get it.

 

Jeremy Corbyn was holding a rally at the Crucible theatre, so I agreed to go (to shut him up.) I went, and was amazed that he was saying all the things I thought, and all the things I was arguing about down the pub and making sense.

I started researching the things I was seeing about him in the press and on TV, and was appalled at the blatant bias and downright lies I was hearing. I began to like him more and more, and the things he wanted to do. I joined the Labour party so I could help get him elected. Incidently, I'd never heard of Momentum and have still never come across one.

 

I've never been to another political rally but went on the odd demonstration when I was a student. and I also sometimes attend the public gallery of the council meetings, especially if something I'm interested in is coming up. I've also met a couple of MPs at their local surgeries.

Why?......

 

Hard one that . Maybe it stems from secondary school days , when doing history , all we were taught was about socialism ,communism , Marxism . I don't know if that was on the syllabus because of where we lived but I wanted to know more about other things . I actually left school in 1980 not knowing who was on the throne before our current queen . Anyway some years after ,I started voting tory , not as a protest but I really feel they are better for the country as a whole ,not me personally . Not perfect by any means but for me , better than labour
