In the soup kitchen I cook at, things are going from bad to worse. I thought we'd hit peak problems when we were mid Pandemic, but that wasn't where it stopped. This could've and should've been stopped a decade ago - but the right continually spin xenophobia and tax cuts as progress, whilst the left dither around and talk about pronouns and identities ad infinitum. My frustration with both sides of the political spectrum is continuing to get worse.... there needs to be reckoning and there needs to be a genuine socialist movement that isn't the SNP. Great article. Glad you've blipped on my radar :o)
