Years ago, the Labour candidate in our constituency (rural Hampshire - dyed in the wool Tory central) came to the door canvassing for votes. My 90-something Gran got to the door before me, told the candidate that she'd always voted Labour as it was the party for the working class, that he'd get her vote but when was he going to do something about all these foreigners moving here. Poor bastard didn't know what to say.
At my secondary school we had one black pupil in a school of 750 pupils, so it was a real concern obviously.
