@Moondeer Hrm. Social media infestation is some of the problem - it acts like a bellows on the flames of anger and outrage. But all political parties have been reluctant to tackle the rising inequality, and have instead blamed immigrants (or scroungers) where it has suited them. However wrong the argument “pensioners went without their winter fuel payments to pay for asylum seekers in migrant hotels” is, it is one that politicians are happy to allow stick.
