You're not an alarmist. Not in the slightest.
The increased aggression and general disdain we're seeing toward healthcare workers is a direct result of Rightwing propaganda designed to specifically demonise this sector, all with an ultimate aim of privatising everything.
I think it's terrifying how easily the opinion and behaviour of "the man on the street" can thus be changed via propaganda. I mean, it wasn't that long ago these same people were stood on their doorsteps banging pots, a practice I refused to participate in.
The relative standards of decency we've hitherto enjoyed will go out the window as the climate crisis gets progressively worse. When we experience simultaneous collapses of global breadbaskets and the food becomes scarce we'll reap the whirlwind of successive Rightwing governments having taken a hatchet to British society, and it will be barbarism.
