About Me

Post election reality check



I am part of a minority. A large minority but still a minority. Rejection of this fact is futile.

Imagined conversation with some family members, friends, colleagues over the next x years:

'Whilst I realise I may be in the minority here, have you ever considered that renationalising the railways would be a good thing/an end to zero hour contracts would create employment stability/a decent minimum wage would protect families/a basic minimum income would help the sick, the unemployed, people who have not worked out how to live their lives yet /the acceptance of transgender/gender fluidity would simply mean acceptance of otherness /that austerity is  causing real problems,/that it's incredible the sixth wealtiest county in the word has citizens relying on food banks, etc.

Oh hum.
