Continuing the thread!

Protest in Glasgow!

No one's coming to save us. The Americans have just woke up to that. Will you?

When are you going to even begin to try to stand up for yourselves against how shit things are? When will talk openly about that noisy neighbour, the state of your schools or where your taxes go - even if it's just on here?

So when are you all going to start talking about how shit things are with an aim to address them? I've been doing it since we started getting shit on a daily basis in Hamilton until we were inevitably forced out - arguably way before then too.

I make this post in my own small way to hope to futilely change what I see as inevitable; a pattern that echoes our zeitgeist where the richest of our society get richer at the cost of absolutely everything else with no chance to change. Ever.

And nothing is coming to save us from that. Nothing is likely to change that.

Yes, I'm calling it now; Reform are going to break the swingometer at the next general election. The spite from a quiet, unheard UK public will rip the arrow off the scales. That passive-aggressive reckoning will absolutely take place - what other solution is there right now for voters here?

Until people get pissed that is. Reallypissed. And if we're not at that point now, we will be from all of the aping we do of our bigger cousin across the pond and their VERY hard right stances. The UK public are going to protest vote whoever will give them something to vote against next time around

Then I saw the train coming down the track for the UK. Labour are already unpopular and failing to provide solutions required, people will have long memories for the last Tory reign (thankfully) and in a two party system, that's it for choices.
