Pulling what?

Some joker said that we will all pull together in hard times..at times when we look forward to cuts in community support staff,housing benefit,child tax credit and lots lots more.
There will be some pulling,but it will be communities pulled apart.

As the X Factor is on the living rooms of the houses I pass,the dark streets hold more activity.
People with little left, inside and out.
Possessions in three-quarters of a black bin bag, being led into rooms to let by big fat guys with lots of keys who fall from silver cars of the Lexus kind.
Verbals going on across from house to house about whose let who down ‘cos “we ain’t got no money, so we can visit her even if she is upset”
Who ever she is could be waiting a long time.

Not sure if pulling together feels slightly different from this if you’re looking out over Thorpe Bay or at another millionnaire across the Cabinet table.
