“We need key workers?” Was the immediate answer with a roll of the eyes
- totally missing the point that “help for key workers” in reality is a subsidy for middle class communities to keep nurses & firemen etc
Basically “room for the servants in the attic”

I was warning then (during the height of Blairite power) that growing support for the hard right was inevitable if we didn’t improve things for ordinary people.

It’s harsh but If you don’t understand it you need to think harder

@robriley “it's one thing to be disillusioned with the main parties but to opt for those liars, those obvious self serving cretins is beyond me.”

Absolutely
But let’s be honest , most of the mainstream parties are so full of careerists , it’s hard to see the wood for the trees .

I never forgot an incident when I was in the Labour Party and was arguing against helping key workers get mortgage help to live in rich areas
I asked “what’s so special about key workers compared to ordinary workers?
