As a proud, working class Solentian, brought up in state-owned housing, son of a cleaner and a labourer, educated in a state school, reliant on state healthcare, factory lad until I was in my early 30s, I stand today as one amongst millions who say NO to pricing poor people, working class people, MY people out of politics."
