The animal thing is a funny one, because there's always outrage when animal abuse is in the news but there's always some victimisation when it comes to people.

Sad, but makes my blood boil when I see people who are fortunate enough to find themselves unaffected in any huge way make glib remarks about McDonald's or some other bullsh*t as though anyone struggling is only struggling because they're not doing enough themselves. Or rather, not doing as much as they do.

Oh that's great, it really needs more people to speak out that all this austerity is not working insofar as it is putting so much pressure on families and communities to bear the weight of supporting those in need...Economists just don't see that all they see is numbers, meanwhile some are really struggling, some are dying and some are just shrugging their shoulders :/

There is a steep rise of 'I'm alright jacks' and it'd really distasteful, it's not 'British' we are always being sold this image of 'Britishness' and 'patriotism' this ideology that allows treatment like this could not be further in my mind to what being 'British stands for.

I hope that public feeling shifts soon, I have a feeling it will the public conscience has been pricked and more and more waking from their apathy towards those in need in society.
