Corbyn is correct in not pushing for a peoples vote on Brexit

Labour could potentially lose it's midlands and northern heartlands, most of whom voted 'leave', if he pushes the clamour for a People's Vote.

Jesus Christ, doesn't the fact that Brexit won against the odds mean anything to people? People in the poorest areas of the UK are fucked and have been continuously fucked under Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown and Cameron. 

Brexit, like the election of Trump in the US, is the reaction of people who feel disenfranchised from the centre. Arguing with someone who lives in precarious housing, with an equally precarious job, or none at all, who sees their kids going into schools in a failing education system, who have difficulty accessing health care due to the running down of our NHS, is pointless. They'll argue: "What the fuck else have I got to lose?"

And do you know what, I have every sympathy with sisters and brothers ground down by the system and ignored by those in authority.

Oh, by the way I voted to Remain and my views are unchanged, strengthened if anything.
