Hello Derek, hope all is quiet in your part of the world tonight.
Not having a go mate, just trying to point out, as others have, that the issues you highlight are timeless. One thing you can’t fight is human nature.
Sometimes there just aren’t any quick fixes or easy answers.
I despise the parasites who think they can take without giving just as much as anyone and I agree with many of your points.
You’re the same age as me. We both grew up watching the post war dream of full employment, universal opportunity, decent education, access to legal help and the finest health system this country has ever seen systematically destroyed by nasty, evil, cynical bastards who don’t believe that such things improve our society for the ultimate benefit of all of us.
No wonder we’re bitter.
However, I believe that by demonising certain elements of our society we play into the hands of those who seek to disenfranchise us, who wish to take away the power and hope that our parents generation sacrificed so much for.
No offence intended in any of my posts.
Pete.
