Crazy Dave got good news today. Don’t worry you 500,000 people losing well paid socially productive jobs in the public sector, and the same amount due to lose supporting jobs in the private sector. Sainsburys’ are creating 20,000 new shelf-stacking jobs. Happy days. How is this even news and how can they get away with portraying this as positive? Its an epic tragedy.
I can almost feel the smugness from here, as Crazy Dave fulfils another of his shadow agenda policies.
Is it coincidence that a party that actively protects the rich is attacking a sector of the job market that offers people from poorer backgrounds more upward mobility? Does it seem to anyone else Dave and his cronies want a return to a rigid class structure? They have already provided disincentives for working class children to continue their education, by massively increasing tuition fees.
It seems to me that public sector jobs days were numbered when people from working/middle class backgrounds got into positions of power and quite rightly started to earn salaries that used to be only available to those who “enjoyed” a public school background. See the outcry from right wing press that Chief officers in councils earn in a year what Chief officers in private companies earn in a month. (Always reported as multiples of a Prime Minister, but neglecting other measures like fractions of a Banker.)
