Whenever working-class outsiders complain about how an immigration or economic policy blights their lives the response of the enlightened insiders is to brand them either “racist” or “stupid”. that Chinese import competition caused 20 per cent of the losses in manufacturing jobs in America and whole regions went into permanent decline.Most of the “creative destruction” that followed the international opening of markets was in the jobs lost by blue-collar men. That also helped destroy the lives of their wives and children. Manual workers across the West now face fewer jobs and falling real wages, so is it any wonder their anger is rising.
On the other side of the divide are the city-based knowledge industry workers who are enjoying all the benefits of free-trade and the free movement of immigrants without having to bother with any of the downsides.

The 'average' UK voter has vehemently rejected Corbyn and Labour | Sky News AustraliaThe resounding Conservative UK election victory shows the “average voter” has vehemently rejected “the most left-wing Labour manifesto in history,” along with its “antisemite” leader in Jeremy Corbyn, according to Sky News host Peta Credlin. \n\nThe Conservative party secured a resounding majority in Thursday’s general election in the UK, while Labour suffered its worst result since 1935.\n\nLabour's “red wall” in the north collapsed as the Tories claimed key seats — several of which were electorates that voted to leave in the 2016 Brexit referendum.\n\nMs Credlin said this result demonstrates that governments who want to get elected must clearly focus on putting “their own country first”. \n\nVoters have “had enough” of being told, “what to think, what to do and what they can or cannot say,” Ms Credlin said. \n\nInstead, governments should focus “on the things they can change, and they are responsible for”. \n\n“Because that's what voters will measure them on”.
