A reader here, a student who reads this site (that\’s one way to fail your degree!) has been inspired to write to The Independent:
Low-skilled workers in service sector jobs are paid relatively higher and work in far better conditions than their counterparts in low-skilled manufacturing and agriculture. If Ms Bennett is arguing for the return of the parts of manufacturing and agriculture that are labour intensive, low-skilled and low paid, the Green Party supports the return of the neo-peasantry.
The ability to inspire Da Youf, eh?
How can a neo-peasantry return?
The next letter is also in the “head, nail” category.
“Having read Natalie Bennett’s espousal of a return to an agrarian economy and base manufacturing I feel that she and her party have been reading perhaps too much of Pol Pot’s rhetoric and not enough of his consequences.”
That assumes, rather too kindly, that they don’t know the consequences.
Blue Eyes:
Neo-pedantry!
