BEATS OF LOVE

167. Teardrops (Charlies Flat Dub Mix) by Crucial Rockers

FAMILY FEUDING is horrid. You get to know facts but no details. Just that mother's partner's son's nephew Lee took his own life.


However you read it, it's truly tragic. I know he was deeply cherished and loved. And know his parents don't deserve the trauma and guilt. His generation are victims of a type of older selfish voter who wants everything ring-fenced; their property, their pension and their healthcare. 




A bit like the philanthropists of old, they'll often take on some financial responsibility, but in a controlled way. Philanthropists who set the rules. Politicians fear them since, as they proved with Brexit, they can be unpredictable and self-harming. Reasons they shouldn't have everything ring-fenced.

His generation is further away from the property ladder and much more likely to be in debt. Making life choices appear far weightier than they should be. In the cold light of day, failure is a necessity of learning, but we're hearing very little mercy from a type of selfish voter, making the fear of it all too common. Adding more and more pressure on the younger folk.


Sometimes stark facts can be emotional, helping to envisage a world that isn't influenced by the older folk for once. I just pray our family feuding could stop with this most traumatic of endings.
