EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

That piece is one of the stupidest things I've ever read in my life.

It labours blissfully under the misapprehension that the financial crisis didn't happen, and that the emphasis on earning enough to pay your bills is still an easy thing to do, something which could be cast aside at a moment's notice to look after a sick family member.

When he says that most of us consider "caring for a family member" to equate to "lost earnings", he's absolutely right. What he seems to miss is that 'lost earnings' mean we stop paying the rent. We stop paying the bills. We get kicked out of homes. We become homeless.

Not all of us are in the exalted position of a Giles Fraser that this is an option. The UK wanted us all to be working full time. Well we are, and social care for our parents is the price they need to pay for increased productivity.

Always on the move, always hot desking. Short-term contracts. Laptops and mobiles – even the tools of modern workplace remind us that work no longer has any need of place. All this is a philosophy that could not have been better designed to spread misery and unhappiness. Human beings need roots for their emotional and psychological flourishing. They need long-term, face-to-face relationships; they need chatting in the local post office;

Giles has clearly never been to Bayswater post office.
