We share a lot of traits and opinions it would seem.
It’s uplifting to come across someone who reminds you that there are still at least a few worth fighting for, that not everyone is a self-absorbed asshat with an axe to grind or agenda to push.
School in general in the UK is a bit of a shit show, slowly getting more and more privatised with each successive government. “Privatisation isn’t working… Maybe we’re not doing it hard enough…”
Perhaps the things your economy relies on should not be placed in the hands of organisations whose very raison d’être is to extract the maximum possible profit possible for themselves…? Energy, transport, education, healthcare, food supply; all privately owned and decreasing in quality while costing more, and, to rub salt into the wound, the entities responsible then dodge as much tax as is possible.
Our supposed “Labour” party is captured by self-serving neoliberal corporate puppets that are beholden to the extremists running the US right now.
They’ve recently announced that they’re going to make it even harder to claim disability benefits, and those that still make it will be paid less than currently. In almost the same breath, they were excited to let everyone know that they’re going to either cut or get rid of the new Digital Services Tax designed to ensure Amazon, Google et al actually pay tax to speak of. Because, y’know, Bezos needs another new yacht.
Honestly, it seems we’re long overdue to remind the politicians who they’re actually supposed to work for. If that means a few heads have to come off to get the message across loud and clear, I’m certainly not upset about it. I don’t see things getting better until that level of event occurs, to be frank.
