Everyone seems more polarised and pigeon hole opposing viewpoints. There is lots wrong with the country and immigration and benefits (to some) have got complete out of control. Agree the culture of not being seen to have any prejudices and upsetting communities has skewed a lot of common sense thinking- see Asian rape gangs. However the malaise of Western economies and societies is not simple to fix. Global and digital changes have massively impacted traditional job opportunities and tax revenues, with an ageing demographic significantly draining public services like the NHS and social care.
Frustrating that Reform seem to be convincing many that these things can easily be fixed and frustrating that Starmer and co. seem so woolly at recognising the discontent and addressing with conviction. The one speech that resonated with many was the ‘strangers in their country’ one with he retracted. Problem is he allows the pile on by not convincing anyone he knows his own convictions by trying to appease the left of the party. So not winning anyone over.
And don’t get me started on the economic suicide of Brexit
