jazzy_daveI just watched one of the most hard-hitting Ken Loach films on BBC iPlayer. "Sorry We Missed You" which is a drama that shouts loud screes against the gig economy and the fact that carers are overworked.
In it, Ricky Turner takes a job as a delivery driver on a zero-hours contract, thinking it's a step towards independence and stability for his family. Instead, he finds the unforgiving working conditions and demanding schedule exact a heavy toll. With his wife Abbie needing to be at her job as a home carer and their graffiti artist son Seb's habit of playing truant, Ricky and Abbie find they always need to be in two places at once and give everything they can to try and help their family.
I would want to see every Tory grandee watch this with their eyes fixed wide open as Alex was in A Clockwork Orange to watch this film. Then they see the total hardship the working class has to deal with. Thanks, Ken for another in your face drama.

Well worth watching.
