   This whole thing about New Labour and the BNP reminds me of an occasion some   
   years ago when I rehearsing my play Virginia Plain. JMC, its director, and I   
   were travelling on a tram through the industrial park and shopping units   
   south of Croydon one evening when the tram was packed with workers returning   
   home. We'd been having a wide ranging discussion over many weeks, dissecting   
   the attitudes of the New Left in the theatre and government. We'd been   
   discussing multiculturalism. JMC looked round at the tired, discontented   
   faces crammed onto the tram and said: 'when this lot work out what's going   
   on and what the establishment are doing there'll be big trouble.'
