    you couldn't make this up
    "It was all an unintentionally hilarious reminder of the middle-class Safe Space that both Labour and Glastonbury have become. Corbyn said there was a message for Donald Trump on the walls surrounding the festival – ‘build bridges, not walls’. The wall he was referring to is a multimillion-pound ‘superfence’ first erected in 2002 to keep out those who either can’t afford or want to flout the hefty Glasto ticket price."

    Whilst it does seem a pretty abortive way of criticising trump I don't really see how the bold part is proven by the rest of the quote. People are middle-class because they can afford a £250 ticket?

    Have you seen how much equipment and how many tents are left behind by these really poor people?

    Is this where we have got to?

    Debating over whether someone is poor enough to legitimately hold a certain opinion?

    tbh how well off people are is of no interest to me, I judge people individually on their actions, I just thought the wall thing was funny that's why I posted it.
    Regardless of how much money you have you shouldn't leave your shit there for someone else to pick up imo.
