Thanks Matt for articulating that but it's not just one generation, I speak on behalf of the post war boys and girls, born in '46, who lived through Thatcherism and have found all of our decades of subsequent political debate polluted by the right wing.
And guess what, it led this nation to unpopular farce that is represented by 'Starmerism' right now.
Thanks for that valuable point, Chris. I only brought up younger people because they’re clearly a target for Farage and co. Crucial for your generation to speak up as well
You mention democracy. The West is losing its democracy. The West is turning to CAPITALISM. Only the rich or sponsored get into Parliament, and the rich look after their own.
Farage is the worst of these, by far, but the other 652 all look the other way when the NHS is sold off scalpel by scalpel.
I did 37 years in the RAF as an aircraft engineer. I'm not proud of the British Empire or the colonialism that we forced on people. The way we duped them, and subjugated them. I was proud to serve my country, but I look at Reform UK Ltd and think what the hell was I thinking of.
We arrest people (many are oldies like me) who dare to stick up for a people going through genocide.
We have a government who "actively" supports the atrocious people who are commiting that crime.
Starmer, "had" a distinguished career as a human rights barrister, specializing in international law, criminal law. Where the bloody hell has that gone?
Lord Hermer (Richard Hermer KC), is under fire regarding the prosecution and investigation of British veterans who served in conflicts. This man is doing nothing for the drop in recruitment for the Armed Forces. I wouldn't sign on today.
The "Friends of Israel" donate to British political parties; They hold lunches to which MANY MPs go. Many of the top four Parties Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrats, and Reform UK Ltd. attend these lunches.
I apologise for including Reform UK Ltd. as one of the four.
AIPAC run the USofA. It would seem that we are following closely.
NO! I'm not proud of this Britain. I am ashamed of it.
How to improve our democracy is the theme of my book REINVENTING DEMOCRACY: a strong People's Council instead of the Lords and Privy Council, a federal state with a written constitution, and economic powers to the regions
But, due to only the rich or sponsored being elected, what chance do you think the common man has of getting these self-serving individuals to vote themselves out of existence.
Nothing is going to change until we weaken the power of the right wing press (Leveson 2 anyone?), abolish FPTP, abolish the HoL & have an elected second chamber, and #RejoinEU.
Labour will do none of these things & it’s highly unlikely the next Govts will either, so we are stuck in a downward spiral.

I could cry.
