Poor white farmers, does anyone know? It doesn't sound right coming from sky news.

I didn't read that news, but did they also use the terms "uneducated" or "insular"?

Perhaps they were likening abbott supporters to tea party supporters in the USA?

I think I agree with the article, it reminds me of that research that demonstrated radical right wingers have a low IQ and poor education completion 😄

Yes too much seems to be going the American way I would prefer to describe them as switched off as opposed to switched on Cat Very Happy

No, "poor white farmers" doesn't sound right at all.

 

 

 

"Filthy rich graziers" is a much more accurate term.

Because they're not allowed to call people mentally retarded on TV
