"Now we've got to be careful, because when times get tough, what always happens is the people at the top will try to play the division card. When times get tough they'll try to say to people, the reasons your wages are low and you can't get a good job is because of those people down the road who don't look like you. They'll try tell us that the reason you can't get housing, or your rent is too high, is not because of rip-off landlords and a system set up to sell off our social housing, it's because of people down the road, who don't look like you, and don't sound like you. They'll try and tell people in this country that the reason you can't look after your kids, and the reason why old people are freezing this winter, is not because we live in a country where all of the country's wealth is going to the top and none of it to the people who generate the wealth, the working-class. They'll try tell you it's because of some scapegoat...."
