Entertaining article from 2012 about 'tightening our belts'Embarrassing dads! We're all in this together | The Independent | The Independent
We have heard it all before and we do know who suffered the most, who didn't suffer and who got richer. I'd think the bottom line is probably that there has to be a fairly equal distribution of belt-tightening or else there are going to be some rather cross people, the most interesting bit of which is probably how many of them are Labour MPs seeing misery at first hand in their constituencies, visiting their local food-banks and so on.

Our quality of life is in the hands of the government. That seems to me a good reason.

Labour and I have history and I at all times in all places say exactly what I like about them. My father's father was born in 1873, my father in 1906, me in 1955. Grandpa was the son of a master-weaver; 'those dark satanic mills' mean something to me personally. He was a socialist and a Fabian before there was a Labour Party. My other grandfather was a registrar of births, marriages and deaths in the East End and saw grinding hideous poverty at first hand. He worked to get the first Labour government into power.

I am so drawn to personal stories like yours. The history you've shared gives you such a special perspective on the Labour Party and its evolution. It is easy to understand your passion and outspokenness, knowing that your family witnessed the party's very beginnings and the hardships it sought to alleviate.
Your story brought to mind a television series I watched some years ago called "The Mill." it focused on combining historical events with fictional narratives to depict the harsh realities faced by mill workers, including living conditions, themes of child labour, worker's rights, and the struggle for better working conditions. It painted a stark picture of the struggles faced by working class families in those days. It is hard to imagine enduring such conditions today. We have much to be grateful for, and your family's story is a significant part of that legacy.

I think this site is so important for so many people. We can encounter each other and support one another. We’ve enough to deal with as it is, without turning on one another. If you don’t like the topic being spoken about, you can just scroll on. Either way, let’s not make each other’s lives more difficult xx
