If working class people are stupid enough to believe that the right has their best interests at heart then that's their problem. Quite frankly they deserve to be trampled on by the rich and powerful. They need to face the consequences of voting for a-holes.

Gotta' love how the right prattles on about how the left is obsessed with identity politics. The right is even more so. "Don't vote for the leftist! They are all about identity politics! Vote for me, the one who will look after the interests of white, straight working/middle class males! No identity politics here!"

You're sounding extremely elitist here. Additionally, you probably are not going to gain the support of the working class by calling them idiots. It's people like you who are the problem on the left. It's this elitist attitude that the left has that is making the working class drift rightward, especially these days.

Elitist? Lol okay. I'm the elitist but the working class idiots voting for the rich rightists who only care about the wealthy are not elitists? I don't see why I should be nice about it. The only reason right wing governments win all the time is because of working class support, both in the UK and the US. Neither nation has had a genuine left wing government in a long time. The working class cant be saved or persuaded. So have at it. Vote for rightists who will trample on workers' rights and cut public services to the bone. At least they're not all about that nasty identity politics eh?

Maybe you could call a different city 'Stalliongrad'? Perhaps found a 'New Stalliongrad'?

Also, apparently 'Stalliongrad' is a place in Fallout: Equestria. Learn something new every day.

Good evening, everyone! Snow has gotten worse here, I'm afraid. Trains have been cancelled, and some branch lines (like the Killdane Branch Line and the Misty Valley Branch Line) have been cut off by the snow. I'm the sheds now with Gordon and James, since all three of our trains have been cancelled. Edward is also with us, since the way back to his branch line is cut off by the snow. Gordon and James have decided to pass the time by talking about the current state of our TV show.

Gordon: It's absolutely absurd! Literally! Have you seen the new clips of BWBA?

James: My Driver showed them to me on Twitter. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! Thomas flying in the air? An elephant controller? Bouncing? Even if most of those things are dream sequences, this is not what we are at all!

Gordon: Too right! The Reverend Awdry is rolling in his grave right now.

Edward: Are you two still griping about our TV show? Is this really what you two have come to?

Gordon: I can't believe you're being so blasé about this; the show is writing you off, Edward, and you think we're being silly?

Edward: First off, we don't know yet if they're writing me off; the only thing we know for sure is that I'm leaving the so-called 'Steam Team' and won't be a main character anymore.

Gordon: We'll see about that!

Edward: And second, while the TV show has provided me with many hours of entertainment, and has brought us attention and tourists from all over the world, we're much more than that. What the TV show does is their own business; they have a right to go unrealistic or fictional if they want, and we should be focusing on work instead of complaining about it.

James: You wouldn't be saying that if you'd seen what we've seen about BWBA.

Edward: I have better things to do than to track every bit of news or leaks about the new show. Rather than seeking out content I know will make me angry, I spend my free time conversing and interacting with the people I care about. I suggest you two do the same.

James: Pah! The TV show is going downhill Edward, and just ignoring it won't make it better.

Edward: Downhill you say? You mean like when the the Troublesome Trucks pushed you downhill and crashed you into some tar wagons? If our show does go downhill, I at least hope it doesn't get covered in tar.

https://youtu.be/NKotSGn8AZo?t=2m16s

James: Seriously? Bringing up the tar incident? Grrr!

Edward: Ha ha ha! You rolled right into that one, James.

Hello, Duke! How goes things on the Skarloey Railway? Any problems with the snow?

Hi, Percy! I wish I could say we're doing better with the snow than your line, but unfortunately, we've had cancelled trains and cut off lines too. The New Route past Strawberry Grove has been cut off due to a large snow bank, and my excursion train to Ulfstead Castle had to be cancelled. I hope His Grace isn't too disappointed.

Skarloey: Don't worry, Duke. Mr. Percival has already spoken with Sir Robert, and Sir Robert completely understands. Nothing you could have done about it; you can't control the weather.

Duke: That's good to hear.

Skarloey: You still look a little bothered, Duke. Everything alright?

Duke: I'm just worried about Luke. With the Mountain Village near Shane Dooiney being snowed under and their roads blocked by snow, Luke was told to bring a late night goods train of coal and other supplies to the village. But he hasn't come back yet, and I'm getting worried. Driver, do you think you could steam me up? I want to go see if Luke's okay.

Duke's driver: Good idea, Duke. I'll get the Fireman, and we'll have you ready to go in no time!

Skarloey: My Driver will go tell Mr. Percival.

Skarloey's driver: I will? But it's so freaking cold out!

*Duke's driver and fireman shovel snow away from Luke's mouth*

Luke: Duke! Am I glad to see you!

Luke: A set of points were frozen and pointed me down a siding, where I crashed into this snow drift. My Driver and Fireman tried calling for help, but the phone lines were down.

Duke: Hold tight, Luke. We'll dig you out of there.

Luke: No! The villagers need these supplies! Take my train to the village first, then you can dig me out!

Duke: Are you sure?

Luke: I'll be fine; I haven't been here too long, so my firebox is still a little warm.

Duke: You're a good engine, Luke. Let me just move this train to the passing loop so I can couple up in front and take it to the village. In the meantime, I'll leave the rescue crew here to dig you out. Hopefully by the time I get back, you'll be dug out enough so that I can pull you clear.

I'm pleased to report that all is well here. After delivering the supplies to the village, I went back for Luke. I pulled him clear of the snow, and then took him back home to the Depot. His fire had gone out by the time we got settled into the sheds, so we put a blanket over Luke (yes, we have engine-sized blankets, and speaking from experience, I can tell you're they're quite comfy), and he fell asleep almost immediately.

And with Luke asleep, I should probably do the same. Goodnight, lads!
