To all the far-right politicians, billionaires, pundits and talking-heads that want the elderly to sacrifice themselves for the economy I have this response: You first. Go on, over the top, lead from the front. Show us how it’s done. Noblesse oblige We might follow, if you personal... ramblinggit.com

We can no longer fail to notice those we have previously overlooked. The homeless – for whom the instruction to “stay home” means nothing – are thrown into sharp relief on our deserted streets. We suddenly see that those who are still working in public, risking their own health – the cashiers, couriers and nurses – are those paid a pittance and often with no contractual commitments from their employers. Never has it been so apparent that our society is built on exploitation
