"In the end the Don Valley voted Conservative because they wanted to get Brexit over and done with as have a lot of former mining towns in the country."


So what if they were former mining towns ?  That's irrelevant.

It was all about the gormless, selfish ignorance of people who didn't want to understand even the basic economic and social consequences of Brexit.

Bought off by lies, slogans and endless anti-EU and anti-immigrant propaganda from a dishonest Tory media.

The tories are so right wing now that they’ve subsumed UKIP, BxP, Britain First, and the EDL voters into their hard Brexit, right wing, jamboree.

The only thing that's going to get 'done' by brexit is the working class turncoats that put an Etonian lying turd into power.... en masse as well.

The leavers left Labour, so maybe Labour needs to leave them to their dystopian shit show.

No it is relevant because a lot of the former mining towns and village pits were dyed in the wool Labour. Either the demographics of these places have changed or the people who lived there voted Leave and for the Conservatives because they feel like they've got nothing to lose as they have nothing there to begin with. There has been no investment in these places and for nearly 30 years and the steel works, coal mines have gone and these places have been left behind while everywhere else in the UK and the South have had investment and regeneration.

The leave voters haven't left Labour though. People who voted Leave and voted Conservative in the General Election just gone was to get on with Brexit. They will come back to Labour once Labour have a good leader and sensible policies. If Labour ditch the voters who voted Leave in the referendum like you suggest then they will never get elected ever again so that is just stupidity.

Anyway you keep going on about how Scotland will leave the UK in there 2nd indy referendum and rejoin the EU and live wonderfully with the SNP, so won't really affect you if you are so sure that is what will happen.
