It's bad enough working for a corporation to which you are nothing but a number, a cost center on a spreadsheet. But to turn your country into a place driven by nothing more than an open labor camp, fueled by the fear and greed of the guards, is a sin worthy of the punishments in Dante's Inferno.
It's more like Animal Farm now, with economic apartheid and the posh, greedy pig spivs thinking of anyone who isn't asset wealthy as marks and mugs to be exploited, with no other value than how much they make them richer. And it was plain as day that it was a scam from the days of Thatcher onwards, because it was cemented in place by divide and rule. By economic apartheid, plain and simple.
Neoliberalism was no bottom-up revolution. It was an imposition of an essentially top-down, cynical, and nihilistic worldview, where they talked of British values, of decency, hard work, and integrity, as they broke every value in the book. They polluted the notion of values to the extent that we struggled to even put them in place. Instead, they acted as if those they had failed, who were left behind by them, were to blame, or were already dead, so could be ignored.
Carol speaks for the real majority in this country: those with common decency. And I'm glad she was finally heard. But it's been a long time coming. It's been like a living nightmare, where it only got worse as time went by. To put things right and keep the wolves at bay who would feast on what's left is the next hard slog on the menu. People like Carol give us strength because, armed with the truth, we can finish the fight. There's a lot of work to do, but it must be done. We must adapt to the fact that we cannot rely on good people getting to the top, nor can we ignore wrongs for too long.
