Change in England is long time overdue. Monetising and privatizing everything that moves in combination with a wage freeze and the most awful austerity measures has made life intolerable for huge swathes of the English working class and even the squeezed middle. Brexit is the result. We need to take back what's ours. And I don't mean leaving Europe, but leaving behind a failed system that benefits so very very few.

Yvonx Missing I totally agree. It needs a very large broom and some vigorous sweeping. Our Empire went a long time ago, sadly the mentality that built it hasn't.

Q1) What does 'Danny Dorling' think about the 'Sale' of the Student Loans and the effects it 'has' had on past students e.g credit ratings, CCJ(s), increased stress and anxiety?

I'm very confident Prof Dorling has a higher income and I daresay higher value assets than myself, so could he demonstrate his sincerity and start the ball rolling towards greater equality by sending me a suitably large donation?

Also, while he may be reasonably successful UK academics really aren't rolling in it, and he's had to buy a house in Oxford (as have I) and as such I'd imagine he's sitting on a debt pile vastly higher than his 'wealth'...

frustrated by the ongoing attempts to promote socialist/ Marxist propaganda when it has had 100 years of failure to demonstrate why it should have become by now a footnote in history.

@@popshaines5492 And I'm frustrated that there's this perpetuated false dichotomy that there's either a 'socialist/Marxist' thing or total laisse-faire capitalism, democratic socialism has proven to be incredibly effective, hence the post war boom when that was insisted on and the success of Scandinavia today. When you label this 'propaganda' it feels like you've not listened to the repeated, clear examples he cites that this works in practice and much much better than the Neo-liberal bilge we accept now.

Doing anything half-heartedly produces bad outcomes. To suggest there's only one model of public ownership is foolish. Nothing is as cut and dried as who owns the asset; it's the make-up of the decision-making body and how it is accountable to its stakeholders!

@@WeOwnIt im old enough to remember when we did indeed own public utilities. it was awful service with lazy unsackable staff. it took weeks to get a phone connected. just awful, including the railways. and the thing is I agree things like railways and mail should be public. but in the past we have been really really bad at running utilities. perhaps there is some way to convince those that a new public ownership model in the uk won't end up like the old one. and no it wasn't awful because of funding though of course that had some part to play. for some reason in the uk workers and managers in public utilities acted like any large private monopoly. they didn't care. you had no where to go if you wanted a phone line connected so you could shout all you wanted but there was no incentive for the people in the public utilities to improve their service or performance. to convince middle aged and older to revert back to a failed system will have to start at showing how we would not repeat the mistakes of the past. otherwise you'll just have to wait for this generation to get to middle age and the older generation to die.
