Mr Steel brightens up my evening once again.

You're easily pleased. Struck me as 1000 words of right on, smug deliberate point missing to be honest. Until people like Mr. Steel understand that working class communities struggling with immigration have a genuine point and stop taking the piss, the left will never regain the bond with their traditional core voters. There are a hell of a lot of Mrs Duffys out there - not everyone listening to UKIP is a home counties borderline racist who hates those 'forrins'.

again, like most of Mr Steels detractors you are missing the point. He's parodying the fact that most people are missing the elephant in the room; the parasitic class of bankers who get away with blue bloody murder while the most vulnerable people are being scapegoated.

No, I didn't. The room contains more than one elephant.

Theres one fully grown African Elephant wearing a bowler hat in one corner.

You're concentrating on the baby aardvark in the corner opposite.
