It has become a very worrying trend to blame people for the position they are in and villify them for it. This comes from our politicians and fuelled by the media. The young are being villified for, as some see it, not wanting to work and leaving school as neets. The kids who do leave school with qualification are being told they are worthless.
Disabled people are being villified as being benefit scroungers and being forced into even further poverty. Its like disabed people are incapable of making any positive contribution society. Older people are being blamed for the pensions crisis for having the timerity to live longer.
We used to aspire to build a better society for future generations. I caanot see how we are doing this anymore. The test of any civilised country is how it cares for the vulnerable, disadvantaged and those in poverty. As far as I can see our politicians have just given up any pretense of doing this.
