This episode has caused me great concern, over perhaps the very future and nature of the labour party. I joined the labour party for I believed it was the party of social justice and a party of the working citizen (regardless of class). Whilst I believe that fundamental premise remains - more so than in the grass roots - if there was ever any evidence that perhaps our labour government is COMPLETELY out of touch with what the grass roots and indeed, our own MP’s want done - the following is ample cause for concern.

The recent story of attacks on fire fighters has added even more fuel to the fire that the idea of society being on the brink of collapse. The problem is quite clearly delinquent youths - but that phenomenon has its roots in a more widespread change in society.
