The politics bin

And you will never get round the fact that what is becoming the norm now in ever increasing areas is is that the rich create wealth at the expense and health of the poor.

More and more people are on zero hour contracts, people are working longer and harder for less money.

The rich are taking over social housing and people are living in squalid conditions at the expense of the poor.



You say that "The young are dissatisfied because reality is biting. Too much , too easy, starting with their exams and the fiddling that's resulted in everyone getting 10 A grades."

Do you actually know just how many hours they study to get their grades?

I am immensely proud of my 3 children and how hard they worked after school to achieve their grades and only 1 of them achieved excellent grades it was far from easy.

I am a site manager at a school and teaching is far better now, learning is way above what it was when i was at school.

Teachers arrive with me at 6:30 in the morning and i am helping them out with bags for marking when i lock up at 6:30 in the evening,

i often open school for them at the weekend so they can try and get ahead for the coming week, 6 weeks holiday, yeah, thats why they are in school in the holidays preparing for the new school year.

They get rewarded with job cuts and bigger class sizes.



School budgets are cut to the bone and are increasingly getting into more debt from lack of funding, teachers are supplying more and more equipment out of their own pocket.

Do you know who it is that we struggle to get payment for school meals, trips, swimming lessons etc?

not the poorer parents its the wealthy ones, but they know that we would not see their child go hungry or be the ones to miss out on a trip or swimming lesson because their parents dont or wont pay.





Are people so detached at what is really happening to millions of people in this country.

I despair at just how selfish this country has become.


Well said Hawkwind, the austerity measures have been devastating for this country and we are paying the price now. Lets hope the recent voting will change the heartless approach the conservatives have adopted over recent years, they have been given a clear message.
