It's all well and good talking about who's struggling, but let's be honest, the people who've spent their lives working and paying into the system are the ones getting a raw deal. You see it everywhere, the high street dying, factories shutting down, and yet we're supposed to believe the same old promises from politicians who wouldn't know a day's graft if it hit them. My dad worked down the pit for thirty years, and for what? So his grandkids can't even afford a decent place to live in the town he helped build.
The problem isn't about keeping people out, it's about looking after our own communities. We need investment, proper jobs that pay a living wage, not just zero-hour contracts. And that means prioritising our own people for the opportunities that should be here. Why should someone from outside get a leg up when local lads and lasses are struggling to find work?
