Its called loyalty.
If you're working in a closed shop with an open ballot it isn't loyalty - it's fear.

Hey, welcome to the 1970s everyone

deano, I don't doubt that she was popular among many, but not usually Labour voters. Whom one would have expected Labour, even New Labour, PMs to be courting. No Thatcher admirers would be drawn to Blair or Brown, however often she welcomed them. Those, and they were many - she didn't always win the popular vote, did she - who opposed her, would not have been that happy to see those who should have been her opposition showing court to her. She wasn't that popular in my circles - not extremely of the left, either.

Who voted Labour in 1997? Many of them, I imagine, had previously voted Conservative in the 1980s.

In which case, did they still admire her? Surely her most fervent admirers would not have been floating voters in marginal seats, would they?

Her 'most fervent' admirers, perhaps not. But there are plenty of people in the country who admired Mrs Thatcher who went on to vote Labour in 1997.
I suspect people on this board (myself included) take a rather dogmatic and tribal view to politics, but that isn't necessarily how 'real' voters see things.

This. In spades. Hence my reference to the "unreachable mass" above.
They make their own mind up, usually based around the centre. If they feel poor they vote Conservative, if they feel uncomfortable because they are not poor, they vote Labour.
I don't like it - as a Conservative through and through - but I understand it. I'm not sure the left does though.

How do you know who was and was not "rude" to Bob Crow when he was alive?
Many of us saw Bob Crow in the flesh, if only because of his habit of travelling by London Underground.

Regardless of your opinion of Bob Crow, it is shocking that anyone should just die at the age of only 52 and for this self-publicist to choose the occasion of a sudden death to come out with such a tasteless tweet is inexcusable.
are you going to try to teach "basic good manners" and "discretion"?

Oh for goodness sake, I suggested that as it would have given Bob Crow a chance to respond.
Do read for comprehension. Just once.

You're setting the bar a bit high, aren't you?
Though, it's possible that a limbo pole would be a bar set too high to get over.

returning to the original point of this thread
There once was a woman named Katie
Whom it was the fashion to hate-y
For the trolls that she got
She cared not a jot
But she really upset some Shipmate-ys
