any given work of literature was written by someone who never got to be in conversation with the works that came after their death, but every time you read another one you add it to the conversation of works that you have been creating ever since you learned to read, annihiliating time and distance
Tell me your most life-affirming literary opinion.

So what precisely do the right want to do about the white working classes? Certainly not go to university, as they want numbers down. Nor to have a unionised manufacturing job, as they don't want unions.
No, they just want pawns as part of their culture wars. They don't give a toss.

Hard (by Labour's own doing) but not impossible
First, welfare revolts tells us nothing...

In an effort that will no doubt torch my follower base, I have laid out some basic numbers around our fiscal situation. Obvious, but still a little sobering for me.

“I hate the way that disabled lives recede out of view because other people are too squeamish to talk about them, and I want to confront that tendency. Mostly, though, I think Max is already a thousand times more interesting than anyone I’ve ever met, and I want to tell you about him.”
The boy who came back: the near-death, and changed life, of my son Max

I continually find people rallying round this idiocy with flimsy excuses for it almost as scary as the first order proposals themselves. The way people totally subordinate their intellect and judgement to manifest nonsense, all in service of an aggressive infantile wannabe tyrant. It's really grim.
