Apathy.
I have started this thread in response to Rogers" why the apathy" in his #39 post on Ross's Big Local Thread.
Ross's thread should be left as a community thread with only positive posts and should not be spoiled by politics, in my view, which is why I have started another thread.
Apathy, does excist, is political and should be discussed.
A succession of governments since Thatcher, right up to today(All Parties) has treated our workers, elderly, disabled, vulnerable, despicably.
Many thousands of people do not want to rise to the upper echelons of life. They would be happy to leave school get a job, any job, earn a decent wage, save some money, start a family, buy or rent a house at a reasonable cost, have sky and go on holiday once a year, without even thinking about politics, about climbing the social ladder and without looking forward to the day when they can be rich enough to siphon off some cash into a far off bank account.
These are loving, caring, family people, who make up our communities and deserve to be treated better than they are now.
This apathy is coming from years of being crapped on.
Attacking the disabled has nothing to do with reducing the deficit.
Introducing this bedroom tax has nothing to do with reducing the deficit.
Stripping away workers' rights have nothing to do with reducing the deficit.
Yes, certain parts of the above need dealing with, anyone with a bit of common sense, has to see and agree with that.
But when Cameron introduces His "Bedroom Tax" for our elderly and disabled, leaving them fearing a knock on the door from the bailiffs, on the same day as giving "Tax Relief" to Millionaires, do you not think people are entitled to a bit of apathy?
