You can't constantly bang on about wanting to radically change everything without sounding like you hate what's already there.

It first came apparent to the electorate how endemic the issue was with the famous G.Brown incident and the "bigoted" woman, it was further underlined with Thornberry's mocking of white van man and the Cross of St George. It was then emblazoned with massive neon lights, huge Doric columns and an amazing fireworks display, when the Brexit vote was ignored, attempted to be reversed and the voters told that they were the problem.
And if the opposition continue to shoot the messenger, they will always be the opposition.
