One solution could be to treat these workers as professionals instead of casual stop-gaps. Pay them properly, respect their skills and get excellence in return? History makes that idea seem radical … 2/3
There seems to be a big misunderstanding about the recruitment crisis hitting hospitality, food processing and social care: people think low-paid jobs are easy!
If you’ve never tried it you might not realise the training and experience needed to do these things well. 1/3
“Lies invented to resign us to the evils of our condition” or just realistic?
Is it hopelessly naive to think things could be done differently?
That is the question The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists are trying to resolve as they struggle to make ends meet every week

Government & public procurement before WhatsApp, from The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists graphic novel (set 111 years ago but telling the story of right now)
@glennhustler @RikWorth If Tressell’s novel is ‘meaty’, may I propose that our graphic adaptation is the vegan equivalent? All the protein & nutrients without the fat & gristle to clog up your arteries. Same great taste, easier on your heart ❤️
Hidden beneath all the political and social messages of The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, the graphic novel includes a How To guide to painting friezes:
1)plan
2)hang a stencil made of tiny holes
3)dust it with chalk
4)join the dots and colour it in
Easy!
