We had NHS dentists, and free education, we owned Rail, Mail, Telecoms, Water, Energy, Steel and Ship Building, Social housing was built, and we owned care homes.
All of this was stolen to allow the rich to rob us forever for using essential services.

1,300 deaths a month in England due to long A&E waits, tenfold rise in a decade.
Years of austerity take toll as govts cuddle fiscal rules to appease the City of London.
NHS budgets drained by PFI and privatisation of services.
Democide normalised.

If we could stop the petit-bourgeois micro-colonialist coffeeshopification of working-class communities, we could create spaces for young people to exist without a need to create value through criminality. So, alienation from leisure is a far more pressing issue than spraypaint!

Yeah, if we could get the football hooligans to stop spray painting everything, that would be awesome.

There's nothing more dangerous to the working classes than the 'good will' of the middle class.

100% this -they pretend to be working class as a form of social capital -they think it makes them more edgy and authentic -and they are happy to take the jobs, opportunities, platforms that should have gone to someone actually from the working class

Actually, posh kids posing as working class, and presenting themselves as spokespersons for our class, should absolutely be hounded. In any other job you would get the sack for lying on your CV. But then again, it's not a job is it...

UK universities could be saved from immediate insolvency for ~£1bn and have recent losses covered for ~£10bn: that is about a TENTH of the 2008 bank bailout and a HUNDREDTH of the backstop promised then. Yet there’s no bailout for one of the UK’s last real comparative advantages.
THREAD: The collapse of higher education in the UK is misunderstood by almost everyone involved. We are told it is because of volatile international student markets. The truth is more to do with real estate and capital investment. Here is what is going on: in places like the US

South West Water fined £1.853m for supplying contaminated drinking water.
SWW is a serial offender, loses 107m litres of water daily to leaky pipes, dumped sewage in rivers for 407,006 hours.
Still trades. No exec fined, charged. People fleeced.

Exactly this - as someone who has worked with women serving prison sentences I can tell you prisons are full of working class people whose crimes are often motivated by poverty - and no one gives a shit about them
A girl steals baby formula from a shop and goes to jail.
Michelle Mone steals £200m and nothing happens.
THAT'S two tier justice...

Well, the publisher isn't pushing our last book so hard now it's three years old. Do some publicity yourself, they said. OK, I lack experience but I'll have a go.
"Buy our book and know more stuff you tightarses!"
How am I doing so far?
