I have to agree wholeheartedly with what you are saying as I have seen a complete disconnect between people who have and those who are struggling to make ends meet. Whether Tories Labour or LDs all seem to have lost the plot with their self serving attitude to everyone other than themselves. Keep up the good work

Thanks for this. A very graphic and compelling comparison between a leadership that wanted to serve the people and the current Labour leadership that continues to grovel to wealth.

The Soviets did all that and more in the 1920’s when n a country that was the pits before the revolution.

I don’t disagree with much of it but with much of the population employed by government and in its control, eg public services, we no longer have a functioning democracy. Without the public services they could not have instituted the lockdown or the vac mandates and much much else. I have warned about this for decades.

bang on. I've been convinced that 'austerity' is a huge economic mistake since reading 'The Courageous State' by the economist Richard Murphy.
