the extreme difference in wages

I sure am glad I'm a first class citizen so am able to get the full wage. o.0

"The National Living Wage will be £7.20 an hour from April for workers aged 25 and over, rising to £9 by 2020.

The minimum wage will continue to function as before for those under 25.

Workers aged between 18 and 20 are currently entitled to at least £5.30 per hour while 16 and 17-year-olds have a minimum wage of £3.87 an hour.

Apprentices aged 16 to 18 and those in the first year of their apprenticeships have a minimum wage of £3.30 an hour."

First check rent prices, then take into account zero hour contracts.  It's a sad time to be a citizen of the UK, although, at least its better than a lot of other places. Saying it is better for us than other places is not a reason to just be content and expect more... people don't say that that is how you get to places in work, or education, and the same applies for the government. To make a difference you have to actively request it, and also, importantly, vote. Politicians are going to ignore us younger people until we can organise as a bloc of voters who can damage a party which doesn't vote for us. I am sick and tired of feeling unspoken for, the only politician who really is saying something for us, is Corbyn. Rent controls (mostly younger people are renting), actually affordable housing and council housing which predominately younger people will be using. etc. People, please can we get moving and actually make a difference. Please help the young people around you to care about politics, because it really is affecting them, right now.

This is where Momentum comes in, and I have a good feeling about it, but I'm not fully in touch because of my avoidance of social media. The real way to win support is to go out and talk and convince people with good arguments on ALL issues which they may bring up. Even if you don't think you have brought them round, its important they hear the argument and they may just ponder your impassioned plea later, on the bus to work, in the shower, or wherever.  A constant turn around isn't needed, just the other side of the argument which the most vocal and widespread media channels aren't giving. Its something we can learn from the SNPs campaign in Scotland, and it may be important in the EU In/Out campaigns, if you are that way inclined. We need to invigorate people, I think firstly non-voters, and then afterwards those who did not vote Labour.

Sorry about the rant!
