Chasm



Gorton by-election revealed ‘chasm’ between politics and people, Burnham warns

The Labour mayor of Greater Manchester suggested the result demonstrated Westminster was not focused on the priorities of ordinary people.

The Gorton and Denton by-election “revealed the full depth of the chasm between people and Westminster politics”, Andy Burnham has said in one of his first public comments on the ballot.


Oh come on Andy, the chasm has been there for a long time and you are part of it, you can't bridge it because you can't drop the Labour baggage. It isn't complicated, but you must know that.

  1. He had his flag nailed to the wrong pole and the scruff proved that they were so desperate that they voted for a "one trick pony," aka "green". Whoda thunkit?

  2. I was born in England in 1961. It was a country inhabited by The English. We had a culture and were recognised around the world for our ways.
    In my lifetime people like Burnham have conspired to destroy that country.
    Nothing he or any of his ilk can say will change that.
    They have destroyed my country deliberately. This will not end well!

  3. Jannie - voters are amazing, there is no limit to collective gullibility.

    Anon - I agree, it has gone and it won't end well.

  4. I think rather the huge chasm between the ideological left and reality is the term he's unconsciously grasping for.

  5. Tammly - he probably thinks voters should leap across to his side of the chasm too
