They just have not got the experience to see through him...or to question what he says.
You do not make the poor richer by making the rich poorer.
Those with money have the choices of where to take it....and many of those 'rich' are politicians.
Not that they would see it that way...and that is where the problems lie.
Our politicians do not live the lives that the electorate live...so they can appreciate none of the difficulties.
Health care, education, social deprivation....those things are just soundbites to them.
They mean nothing in real terms.

they never have and never will and thats why they spout a lot of rubbish which most do not agree with but still get votes because they belong to a party that a person has always voted for. any idiot could get voted in as long as they are a labour candidate in places like barnsley and hartlepool .
Did a monkey not once stand as a candidate for Hartlepool. hence your monicker? Or was that Hull?
The successful mayoral candidate in the 2002 local elections, Stuart Drummond, campaigned dressed in the costume of H’Angus the Monkey, using the election slogan “free bananas for schoolchildren”, a promise he was unfortunately unable to keep. However this appears not to have dented his popularity, as he went on to be re-elected two more times.
Whatever the truth, the legend of Hartlepool and the hanged monkey has endured for over 200 years.
I believe it was during the napoleonic wars a Monkey was washed ashore from a shipwreck, the locals not understanding "Monkey" assumed he was a French spy & hung the unfortunate creature.
Or so the legend/myth runs.
That’s what I’ve always understood how the legend came about.
I would think a monkey would be far more handsome than any Frenchie.
Poor blooming monkey!
Poor blooming monkey!
What would Macron think?
Are you trying to tell me that Macron actually has the power of critical thought?
I would trust the monkey before him....but then that goes for a lot of our own politicians too.
Especially our own elected representative.

thats how the legend started. people born in the town and supporters of hartlepool united are also known as monkey hangers hence my username being from the town and an ex pools supporter.
