Why people think leaving the E.U is a grand deal is an idea I understand whole heartedly. When you've ballsed things up, lost the money, a job or the future looks bleak nothing can be more comforting than pinning the blame on someone else.
When you're a teenager you might have an angry atheist stage blaming religion for all the ills, as you get older you might go apathetic and blame politics but the honest to God truth is that we are to blame for our past, present and future. Things can be done to make our world a better place but instead of pointing fingers, get up and do something.
Utilising public transport cam cost about the same as it would cost one to build an improvised explosive, but my family spent a small bomb today and went leafleting in Brackley. What I found were elderly people that gave a damn, UKIP supporters that were bitter and a lot of young people that said "I don't do politics".
I know that a bunch of our generation are on the minimum wage. I know many are working weird ass shifts randomly placed across the week with gaps in the middle of a week or working hours that start from 9am to 8pm because places are "understaffed". (Understaffed = we cannot be bothered to hire the people we need, do the job of 3 people and get paid a fraction of your own value peasant). Wages start low because you will "get experience" but then those wages never shift because most workers fail to understand their market value. I know for some that within the space of an hours work that person would have handled their monthly wage for a company. The second they have kids, the children will be born into poverty.
Why is no one feeling angry that the future is being robbed from underneath them whilst they are working? Everyone is working hard, merely working hard does not mean you are going to be safe. I have a plan, I will be safe but I want the entirety of British society to get what it deserves: A bloody fair chance to succeed in life. I believe that right now we are pretty far from that ideal.
Every time I hear someone say that they don't do politics my mind replies "But you do get fisted...daily". I don't do politics = whatever happens, I will endure. Which is exactly what a Government hell bent on austerity likes to hear because we give them free reign to lord over us.
Politics is not about knowing the world around you. Protecting yourself.
Hiding in your burrow as the ground above gets bulldozed is not an ideal form of self-preservation.
