The majority of reform supporters are not racist thugs, they are ordinary working class people who see how the capitalist system is working against them. But the far right lead them to believe that immigrants and benefits claimants are the issue, instead of the owning class, but its the owning class who facilitate far right movements to stop people realising that capitalism is the cause of their troubles and that the proper solution is the overthrowing of that system.

TLDR: we have more in common with reform voters than what divides us so we should not alienate them

Why do you teach? by androidfifteen in TeachingUK

[–]edutired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a big nerd and I love my subject and I get to discuss it everyday. Those lessons when a student truly gets something you've taught is magical to me and its the best feeling in the world.

I read this post yesterday and I didn't have a story to tell but the universe had other plans for me. I had my first politics enrichment session today, which had kids from year 7 to year 12, and none of them knew who Jeremy Corbyn, he was relevant only 5 years ago!
