Last Nights Panorama
Twas about the desperation of those hurt most by the recession and the great bankers rips, Its clear that frustration among these ordinary decent people is now turning to anger.
Job centers with NO jobs
Kids now turning 20 and no being able to find a job
After both Tories and Labour wrecked the manuifacturing and industrial base of the UK in the lates 70s through the 90s some areas ( including this one where I live) saw nothing replace those thousands of jobs.
The imbalance in society is getting worse and its getting to tipping point. Every day people read of bankers bonuses, MPS cutting their working week, city traders spending £45,000 on ONE meal, ultra rich buying exotic country piles, etc, and compare it with the young girls walking twelve miles a day to visit the nearest jon center, people buying the cheapest foods they can afford, not being able to afford to do the basic maintenance on their homes, watch their children become a lost generation.
I think last summer the fuse was lit and if things dont improve BIG trouble will follow, and the governments response is always the same a hard crackdown on the protestors no matter how just their complaints.
I have also recently been chatting with some of the young people off this estate who i have watched grown from skinny 12 year olds to young adults, most , about 70 % of these kids did well at school and have at least 4 or 5 A levels, some have numerous A* passes and these are good kids from good backgrounds with honest deent hard working parents, and only 2 of the kids have managed to find any sort of work, both only part time in a cafe in Durham.
We are tossing aside our childrens future whilst the ruling elite, bankers, speculators, mps etc are laughing and ignoring the children who this countrys future depends upon.
