Absolutely true, but I still think it's age rather than education which is the big divide and yougov data supports this. It also concerns me that by trying to paint a large portion of the electorate as stupid / racist or whatever it may backfire and produce an unexpected or undesirable result............

Bollocks. I may be old but i sure as hell can tell a c*nt and a c*nt party when I see one.
as for the second bit of your post. I think it’s too late for your caution.

Correlation is not causation.

i.e., It's pretty well known that older people are more likely to vote Tory than young people.

Older people are less likely to have been to University than young people.

It is therefore likely that a greater proportion of people without degrees are more likely to be satisfied by Johnson's performance, as they are more likely to be Tory voters

Older people are also more likely to have cognitive decline....

A colleague of mine used to work as an election assistant in polling Stations on an annual basis. She told me that she had several old blokes coming in asking her about how they should vote (before declaring they would vote conservative).

Do think many young people would ask the staff how they should vote?

Text book example of unfunny right wing comedy.

This should be preserved for posterity on a blue plaque in front of statue of Winston Churchill smoking Margaret Thatcher's cock.

funnier than anything you've ever thought of, in the rare fleeting moment you have any semblance of a thought.

Not entirely sure about the age point - my Dad and my Father in Law are similar ages- my Dad, a labourer, sadly has over the last 5 - 6 years gone from being a staunch Labour voter to a rabid brexit racist - her Dad - life long self employed - retails business owner - voted Remain thinks brexit was madness and after a life of voting Tory now just doesn't vote. Both the same age but one on the "shop floor" influenced by Farage etc and one hoping to sell you groceries who did the analysis, understood the pitfalls to his business from Brexit and can get that the "reliance on forriners" is bullshit - he employed Brits and "forriners" and valued both equally.

As your post suggests it isn't as simple as old / young equals tory / labour, although yougov data suggests we get about 8% more likely to vote tory with every advancing decade as we age. It'll never be black and white though, and I'm sure there is the odd tory voting, mail reading PhD out there, and maybe the odd copy of the guardian on a few building sites.

keep trying, you'll come up with one eventually.

Isn't it tiring being angry all the time?
