I Remember...

I remember when the poor and unemployed were treated with respect.
I remember when we cared for the disabled.
I remember when we provided homes for those who needed them.

I remember when working gave people the means to enjoy life.
I remember when public transport was cheap and cheerful.
I remember a time when politicians weren't self serving liars.

I remember the Labour party being an alternative to capitalism.
I remember when the media investigated and reported the truth.
I remember honest politicians and government officials.

I remember when the UK had a manufacturing base.
I remember when war was to be abhorred.
I remember a care system that cared.

I remember...and I am not that old.
