Back in the days when ordinary working men would dress up when they went out .. back to the 50's in NZ .. here is a photo of my Dad walking down Courtney Place in Wellington wearing a suit.My Dad worked with his hands, his job was fashioning tools out of metal. But after work he could transform himself into someone who could have also been quite at home in the office.
I was reminded of this photo by something Chris Trotter said about being unimpressed by the "enemy".
The problem is for Chris and those like him, the enemy has become the ordinary working man. Not impressive or scary or menacing in the slightest. The very ordinariness of the man who works to support his family is terrifying for those on the left who are losing their iron grip on the hearts and minds of those who used to believe in the socialist promise and instead have been bitterly disappointed.

As the "enemy" is pragmatic and is concerned more with supporting a family than an ideological position, the "enemies" are all going to Australia.
