The immorality of our excesses when the migrants fleeing poverty, drought, famine, war, then have to risk drowning to get to safety and some semblance of barely civilised living, here when the UK is unable to give them safe passage. Unable to take its fair share in Europe of asylum seekers based on existing population and habitable land area.
We spend tens of billions of pounds (to 2040 in the W Mids) on the exorbitantly expensive "bus on rails" trams (Metro) and hundreds of millions for the "bus that thinks it's a tram" Sprint in the Black Country and Brum. Both rolled out when the existing buses need upgrading for those dependent on mobility vehicles and when our urban railway lines are still being destroyed or, used only for freight trains.
We spend a hundred billion pounds to put at risk the Chiltern aquifer for a train line that only stops, outside London at three stations, two airports and one E Mids Parkway (who lives there?). The full, current intercity service must remain for the stations that High Scam 2 is far too fast to stop at!
I have had three vaccines in 2021 when the countries that people are fleeing from have not even had one - apart from the select few!
Far too many of our population have more than one home to live in, many with homes not in the UK when, perhaps, an equal number are inadequately housed in our own so very wealthy nation!
The wealthy, of which I am one, are not fairly taxed so that they/I have even more riches than they/I know what to do with. Spent on their own excesses and consumption to steal resources from future generations - from even their own future kith and kin!
What a performance! What a record! What a disgrace!
