Just this, really
It's very simplistic and I'll probably edit this and re post in a more elegant form
Just thoughts about unnecessary cuts and the impact on people in the uk, and how this marginalizes the people affected, as well as denying talented folk with not much money the chance to be a positive influence to the climate debate.
Knowing what it's like to choose between eating and paying bills in my past, and finding it impossible to engage as closely with things like Twyford Down, when this was happening, I wonder how much the obsession with austerity has isolated people either in the benefits cycle or on low incomes from the climate change debate, so they are left having to focus on daily survival rather than being able to perhaps feel even remotely included in what used to be a discussion?
The cuts appear to have divided and conquered to the extent the tories are able to engage in Paris with lots of positive messages one minute, and less than a week later, cut subsidies to renewable energy, with barely a murmur, and I wonder if this is partly to do with intense public media manipulation, but also silencing several million voices?
It's not just people who were already on the margins being impacted, I wonder if I'm alone in finding this worrying amongst other responses?
Apologies if this is a tedious repeat of other blogs or inappropriate.....
