OT - the current crisis

[Andy_Faber]

Let me know when you can concentrate on more than one thing at a time. What I’m saying has nothing to do with the availability of fence contractors or mechanics. It has nothing to do with your unfounded fear of what Swale will say either which rather makes my case that you’ll take any opportunity to stir things up in that direction...but while you’re judging things by the bank holiday pubs and chippies, and your difficulty getting your car fixed I’d suggest the numbers on strike or threatening strike action, the consequences of the increase in energy prices and general reaction to the cost of living crisis might be equally good, if not better, indicators.

I genuinely feel sorry for folk who are busting a b*****k in low paid jobs and can’t/won’t be able to make ends meet but let’s go back to the first page of this thread. I made an observation in response to MA’s question ‘why do the rest of us accept this crap’ in essence by suggesting there isn’t a cohesive ‘us’ anymore, at least not in big enough numbers to create this ‘revolution’ that’s talked of. There’s no hooray from me about that and it may turn your stomach to hear it but IMO it’s a fact
