Reality Check

Real-life friends will know, I've been quite stressed out lately.

I've got that weird eye-twitch thing going on, I'm riding the crimson wave and my hair is NOT clean. This election business is starting to feel like a bit of a mad idea. 

All great ideas probably seemed a bit of a big ask when they were first floated. 

This is the first time Trade Unions have sponsored a widespread General Election challenge against Labour , ever! 

In Medway, of our 22 local election candidates, only 2 have stood in any election of any kind before, ever! 

When we were growing up, we weren't trained in this sort of thing in school. 

The establishment, with private education at elite institutions, teach their kids that when they grow up, they'll be running the show and equip them with the inflated sense of self confidence required. 

We learnt Microsoft PowerPoint. 

This is all quite out of our humble, Gogglebox-watching, penny-counting, working-class comfort zone.

And ins't that really the point? That actually, the lockdown the wealthy have on politics keeps working class people disengaged and disenfranchised. 

That's a scandal! 

TUSCies, keep ya heads up. We are on the right side of history.
