“It was 2017. The entire country was fucked, you and your friends are all fucked and are being collectively gaslighted by the wolf-eyed replicants in power – being told again and again that to want a dignified life for oneself and others is to be a naïve falafel-and-croissant-munching snowflake. There is no housing crisis. It doesn’t matter that you can’t make rent or get decent paid work. Benefits lead to idleness. Everything is Great (Britain™), and they’re going to make it even better; by consolidating class power and wealth and preventing brown people from entering our glorious fortress island. The prime minister just called a general election and the tabloids calling for your traitorous blood. Meanwhile The Guardian and New Statesman are sending John Harris up and down the country, desperate to understand the proles’ ‘Legitimate Concerns’. Oh and by the way, ‘neoliberalism’ is a made-up word. You, a 30 year old designer living a somewhat precarious life far removed from any position of power, own nothing but a copy of InDesign and an internet connection.”
