For generations, Britain’s working class has endured Working-Class Neglect, as their voices and struggles were sidelined by Westminster’s policies and elite indifference. The erosion of dignity – captured by Class Stigma & Dignity – has left many feeling invisible, their contributions undervalued. Deindustrialization & Job Insecurity, accelerated by Thatcherite reforms and globalisation, stripped communities of stable employment, replacing factories and mines with precarious gig work and zero-hours contracts.
The myth of Shared Prosperity has been exposed as wealth concentrates among shareholders and elites, while wages stagnate and living costs soar. Gentrification & Displacement have transformed cities, pricing out long-term residents and deepening resentment. Meanwhile, Brexit & Working-Class Disillusionment became a protest vote against a political class seen as out of touch – only to deliver further economic decline and broken promises.
Tensions over Immigration & Resource Competition have fueled divisions, as struggling communities perceive newcomers as prioritised over their own needs. The result? Political Alienation & Populism, as frustration with mainstream parties pushes voters toward fringe movements. The rage is not just about money – it’s about broken trust, shattered dignity, and a system that seems designed to keep them behind. The boiling point has been reached.
