One of the many reasons to support the Universal Basic Income is that it would abolish the Pauline Campbell-Jones industry. “I’m not stood here for your benefit”? You’re not stood here at all anymore, luv. Good luck finding a way to augment your UBI, since you don’t exactly have transferable skills.
The changes to the British economy since the Callaghan Government’s turn to monetarism in 1977 have turned into the ruling class the public sector middle-class women who now dominate, not least as almost the entire membership of the Labour Party and as the core of its electorate.
Meanwhile, the wars waged since 1997 have barely affected them, having largely been waged for explicitly feminist reasons, albeit to no good effect for the women of Afghanistan, and to catastrophic effect for the women of Iraq and Libya.

A position of being anti-industrial at home but pro-war abroad is ridiculous in itself, and bespeaks a total lack of comprehension of how wars are fought.
But these are Thatcher’s Daughters, unable to understand the rage against deindustrialisation and against the harvesting of young men in endless, pointless wars, and probably unaware of a growing number of young men’s closely connected discovery for themselves of the various schools of heterodox economics, and of the traditional Great Books that, for ostensibly if questionably feminist reasons, have been excluded from school and university curricula.
Introduce the Universal Basic Income, and you would get rid of a lot of these women at a stroke, and the Labour Party with them. Ours is the 2020 Vision of a new political party, a new think tank, a new weekly newspaper, a new monthly cultural review, a new quarterly academic journal, and so much else besides. I will be standing for Parliament again here at North West Durham next time, so please give generously. In any event, please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
