In 1951, talk of Britain joining the fledgling European Coal and Steel Community was quickly dismissed by the Foreign Secretary Herbert Morrison with the famous words “no, the Durham miners will never wear it”. You see, the pit communities in the North East were a stronghold of the Attlee pro-NATO “Old Labour Right” and had fought hard for their ‘jobs for life’.
If ever there was something with the wrong name.
darrengrimes_ Good, Momentum Labour will be as relevent to the working class as the British Communists were after the Soviet's invaded Hungery to restore Communist control.
No mention that it was the Tories that destroyed the community's of Durham in the 80's.

Dear oh dear!
darrengrimes_ Boycott this event and the dinosaurs.
darrengrimes_ I’m so glad my grandads old constituency voted tory. He’d be turning in his grave to see whats happened, the house where he died is now student accommodation meaning they are literally teaching communism where he fell over in the kitchen and couldn’t open the door for the nurses.
darrengrimes_ This really is a brilliant column, and incredibly depressing at the same time. I really hope those conservative MPs are invited and welcomed at the gala and everyone moves on from Labour's divisive hate everyone that's not Marxist politics.
darrengrimes_ Excellent
