Thing is BS, you’re playing the government’s game here. As an older person living up north, you’re probably quite if not very dependent on the state for a pension, for hospitals, doctors, nurses and maybe social care too, as well as emergency services like ambulances if you’re suddenly unwell, or police if you have a burglary, etc. You also want your kids to have opportunities to travel, work, and generally make their way in the world.
Because all these are being cut to the bone or no longer available, you’re basically being attacked by your own government. Your health will suffer, your security will suffer, your finances will suffer, as will the wellbeing of those around you.
Of course, the government doesn’t want you to complain, particularly about them, after 12 years of incompetence. It would rather you moaned about something else….. like foreign workers who want to come here to do the kinds of jobs mentioned above!
But this perspective isn’t one you’ll get in the distorted lens of the right wing media… no, they’ll encourage you to look away from parliament and focus on ‘illegal’ kids in dinghies, rather than how much the government is attacking you and your community with economic incompetence and terrorism.
Think about it BS, when you’re walking past the boarded-up town centre, and see people scurrying along from the charity shop to the pound shop to the food bank to the warm bank, think just how much it resembles a war zone. These are the real problems in your life, and they have their origin not in far away countries, but in Downing St.
