We done it to ourselves. From “Unions too powerful” to “Red Robbie” to Arthur Scargill and like a dog that doesn’t know when to stop eating the working class Thatcher voters lapped it up.Blame Thatcher and those that followed her.
Which started with buying your own council house with no rebuilding programme to replace the lost council houses and the baby boomers entering the working / housing market. So obviously creating a false market for private landlords to push the price up so house prices rocket along with rents. So easy for them with the thicko Thatcher /Bliar/ more recently Tory voters. Seems like they’ve used the same blue print time and time again from houses to jobs to covid and the majority fall for it every time.You can't dismiss the rise of the "faux middle-class".
People that are really working-class, but not proud to be deemed as such.
Once upon a time, the working-class were earning big money and politically engaged.
Nowadays, if you are one of the 14%, then you are likely to be poor and marginalised.
But the people who are working class fell for it, thinking were better because they bought their council house and had 2 cars. The working class have eaten themselves.The demonisation of the working class, by creating an underclass in the media.
“Benefits Britain’ etc.
worked a treat.
The working class got some wonga, then they were offered ridiculous amounts of credit. The banks were giving money away to anyone. They wanted you to get into debt, they knew what they were doing. And then they put interest rates up to 26%, and royally fucked everyone.But the people who are working class fell for it, thinking were better because they bought their council house and had 2 cars.
