We are a...Thanks for that heartfelt comment, Nigel. We are a very wealthy country but those at the top have created a hellish existence for those at the bottom. Welby has highlighted the problems. Where are the politicians with the determination to do something about them? And where are the activists who will put pressure on the politicians, or lead a boycott?. What, for example, has happened to "Occupy"?Peter Wrigleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481117156930677255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732407426313451205.post-37599489243078522632018-09-18T20:48:45.998+01:002018-09-18T20:48:45.998+01:00the trouble is we live in a consumer economy where...the trouble is we live in a consumer economy where people want goods as cheap as possible. Equally this is cos wages are low so they both go together.I know of a young woman who has 2 jobs one that she got via a degree the other her part time job . This so she can build up money for a house. People take 2 jobs etc to build up money for the things they want .One job is no longer ..enough. They cannot afford to leave one job cos they will then not have the moneyTherefore they have to stay in the jobs available cheap jobs with long hours and have to take the rules etc that Amazon etc give.They cannot afford to leave for the benefit system penalises them. thus leading to high employment statistics..It is one reason why the well off want brexit it enha.nces their wealth as shareholders The 'tweakers of party rules' are as bad as the other 2 who have not the guts to expose/change the rotten system. Helping people to get back to work is fine but not to end up with slave labour conditions which is where we are heading. nigel hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365383918453700768noreply@blogger.com
