Dear Editor,
Despite the difficulties in the lives of working people of rising prices, restricted incomes and job insecurity, they will resist gross injustices done to others.
This is the real character and humanity of working people who are subject to continuous pressure from the system under which they live to just look after themselves and to believe “ there is no such thing as society”
How can working people express their humanity from their own shrinking resources? The head and heart are willing but the resources are not there: but, in other ways it can be done that would help everyone.
The disgraceful, disgusting situation of working people not being able to pay for adequate electricity or gas supplies for heating cooking and lighting whilst millions and millions of pounds are paid to shareholders in these private companies. These industries should be publicly owned and managed for the benefit of everyone is one such way.
The same should also apply to passenger transport, rail, bus and tram, these essential services are needed by working people to access their places of work. They are not a luxury, they are also important for social and leisure activity.
All these measures can benefit everyone and can be done, expressing humanity in operation. All MP’s, MSP’s and Councillors should be pressured to support and work for this.
