I completely agree with the Norway thing. My stepmother was Norwegian. Can I recommend a book to you; The Nordic Theory of Everything. Written by a Finn, it compares life in the US with Scandinavian countries run on socialist principles. I recently left the Labour party mostly because of the treatment of JC and also our own sitting MP, Mick Whitley who was deselected in the new boundary changes and replaced by a Starmer babe. Like you I have been a life long socialist. My grandfather was a socialist and a lawyer who pushed for Legal Aid after WWII. It seems that everything that was created for the benefit of everyone has been hijacked by policies that stuff the coffers of private enterprise. I worked in thd NHS and Education, in Mental Health and Special Needs for most of my working life. I've seen how services have been slashed and destroyed over years. I have recently been retired early due to heart condition/stress all down to work, long hours etc and even having to take on two jobs, 6 days a week, 14 hours a day, to make ends meet. It broke me, literally. I have no idea who I'm going to vote for but as I have been reminded, if we all leave, there is no left wing. We just capitulate. Where do we go? SWP? As for Reform; that's Nazi incubation in my opinion. From Merseyside, YNWA.
