Dear Sir,
In response to Ian Middleton’s letter last week, ‘Does the
Labour Party really care?’.. I would say that none of the old grey
parties really care, because they are all stuck in a paradigm which
punishes the vulnerable for the crimes of the amoral trans-national
corporations and the banks which support them.
The grey parties are unable to see that ..‘what the
world needs now’.. is a complete revamp of aims and values. It’s
ridiculous now to support ‘growth’ at all costs. The old
grey parties are stuck in that mind-set because of lobbying and funding
from outdated vested interests. The greys (and now UKIP) support
fracking, Trident, and the appalling TTIP (Trans-Atlantic Trade and
Investment Partnership…or the Big Bad Law… which will have us all dancing even
more to the tune of the aforementioned corporations) and flogging off our
esteemed public services to boot. They pay lip service to social justice
by arguing about frills instead of dealing with these elephants in the room.
Sincerely
Shan Oakes
