#gowithflo – Joan Twelves

where we don’t fear others and welcome migrants
where we don’t just want but can expand our horizons and aspirations,
where we work together to stop our planet being destroyed to enrich selfish billionaires and corporations
where everyone has a right to a warm, secure home, where mums don’t go without to feed their kids, where we don’t get ripped off by privatised utility companies and unscrupulous landlords, where debt isn’t a way of life
where our NHS works for all of us and nobody fears a visit to A&E lest they get left for hours in pain without a bed
where I don’t look out of my window at homeless people sleeping and begging, and a sign stuck to the wall advising them how to register to vote
where I don’t have to keep telling my landlord that only a third of social tenants can afford broadband and therefore can’t access their services
where we restore the welfare state I was born into and have benefited from all my life
where our leaders aren’t racist, sexist and homophobic bigots and liars
where we aren’t faced with the prospect of incipient fascism.
