Sleaford Mods: 'I feel a certain amount of pride in being working class'

SEVERAL weeks before the UK general election, Sleaford Mods singer Jason Williamson posted a passionate defence of British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn on Facebook. His reward was a deluge of abuse.

“It wasn’t very well received,” he sighs. “There are a lot of idiots out there. What can you do? It’s worth supporting the Labour Party. Jeremy Corbyn is a grounded man, a man of principle. Look at the alternatives — she [Theresa May] is despicable. Anything but that.”
