Scab City

I have been reading other blogs over lunch and was intrigued by the posting below by one blogger.

“An anti-cuts demo was announced for 5pm in the Market Square. I turn up, barely 50 were there, with just a couple of banners and a few lefty paper sellers whose hearts weren’t really in it.

This is in response to the most savage cuts to public spending since the 20s (and look what happened then) – only 50 people can be arsed to come out to protest….(an) unshaven pissant knuckledragger comes up to me and starts ranting into my face about “socialist wankers” and indolent public workers and “human nature” and the rest…

I’ve lived in Scab City for 7 years now (a job’s a job, eh?) and not once in that time have I met, or even overheard, anyone with an ounce of class consciousness.

Even the few activists around the Sumac centre are middle-class animal rights moralists, who openly scorn the working class and only care about their own narrow campaigns and identity politics.

There’s a small Anarchist Federation rump, and fair play to them, but they sure have a hard job on their hands making any headway in this place. Even the Trots have given up on Nottingham’s workers – they know a lost cause when they see one.”
