Heroes and villans

Two year ago, for thirteen Thursday evenings in a row, The Prime Minister and his then partner stood on the steps of 10 Downing Street, applauding Doctors, Nurses, other NHS workers and essential workers.

Two years on, those self same essential workers are now striking for a livable wage, and people like Robothatcher, Liz Truss are stating they are going to make their striking in the future against the law.

I had hoped that the pandemic meant we realised we valued everyone in society, but that hope was in vain

. Apparently there is no money. That comes after Dido Harding "spent" £37 billion on test and trace, and tens of billions more given in dodgy PPE contracts.

That's why there's no money.

And so the Government are happy pitting one set of underpaid workers against the others.

This is what levelling up really means. Another empty Tory phrase.

Nothing you can feed your kids with, or pay your rent with.

But have this badge.

And that'll cost you a fiver.
