We got a lot of, '' you're policy on brexit is nonsense, it makes no sense''.
Time after time we got that, in words something like that.

Sometimes fairly politely put, other times fird out in quite strong language and even abuse.

However, once even some of them got on about the policies.
They liked the policies.
So I'd like to see the policies largely remain..

The other problem was they didn't believe the policies could be achievable.
There was too much promised and way too many.
However, quantified and qualified more, Labour would be unwise to throw out the policies Corbyn brought to the forefront.

After this pandemic, a new vision will be needed, more compassionate and fairer policies.
Whatever else, Corbyn brought into being policies Labour should have had years, even decades before.

On the doorstep we didn't find anti-Semitism was an issue voters would decide voting on.
However it was felt, an almighty mess had been made by the leader and his advisors on that too.

And why didn't they believe a fairer society was/is achievable? Because they read every day about how the main issues causing the problems in the UK were foreigners/immigrants and the EU.

I hope you're right about a post covid society being more equal, just like the end of WW2 brought about a more socialist agenda like the NHS for a brief period, but our media is so tory and so influential, that unless the poisoning of peoples minds is addressed, then there is absolutely no chance anything good comes from it.

We have posters on here still calling it the evil china virus as an example, and they didn't arrive at that opinion on their own, they've been force fed.
