I’ve been out for my daily walk so have only just read your response mate.
I was not aware of just how bad things are in your part of the country, it is an absolute disgrace that in the fifth richest country in the world we have food banks, my area is not as bad as yours but nonetheless we also have several food banks, which a charitable concern that I am involved in regularly contributes too.
The problem we face as a society is the “greed is good” behaviours of far too many people, no one needs the amount of money that the very rich in this country have, and yet they always want more, and if that means that they need to close a factory, or a shop, or whatever business, just so that they can look good and get their bonus, then so what, who cares about the people who lose their jobs, that’s their problem, and if they can get away with paying the minimum wage (or less in some cases) whilst paying themselves six or seven figure salaries, and letting the government pick up the bill, so what who cares !
There is nothing wrong with those that work hard earning more than those that can’t be bothered but when the people at the top of a business are being paid 50 or 100 times more than the workers it is a recipe for disaster.
As for the drug situation, it’s farcical the authorities can’t even keep them out if our jails, let saline off of our streets.
Politicians of all parties are to blame, but they are not alone, greed is the real issue, that, and stupid self centred, self serving, egotistical, bigoted people who couldn’t give a damn about anyone other than themselves.
