Comments by "Edward McLaughlin" (@edwardmclaughlin7935) on "Why do MPs love culture wars? | UK politics | The New Statesman podcast" video.
Culture wars are a very useful tool for politicians to light-up, while in the shadows the real work can be carried-on without restraint. The economy can be destroyed, the people denuded of whatever wealth they might have, so that they are pushed nearer that stage of poverty at which they must accept any and all government 'offers'; and UK involvement in war can march on without impediment.
