    The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the year two thousand and twenty two. One of the largest economies in the world, gdp per capita relatively strong.

    And we have a situation where a budget supermarket is having to lend customers money so they can afford to ******* eat.

    It’s a global bloody scandal what this country is about to go through. It’s only going to get worse. The word ‘crisis’ is bandied about too much at times but the cost of home energy, food and fuel for travel is most definitely going to be a crisis.

    But don’t worry, ask old Lizzy Truss. Folk just need to work harder and stop being so lazy.

    "Managing director Richard Walker said loans - provided by charity-owned lender Fair For You - would only be offered to those who can afford them."

    Yes that stuck out to me too.

    Never mind interest free loan, people can I'll afford it now, never mind taking on another debt.

    How about everyone stop ******* profiteering. Starting with hammering these energy companies completely

    I’d half agree. I’d say most Tory voters are selfish.

    However I’d argue that the majority of Brexit voters were just bloody stupid. I can’t conclude voting for something which would detriment them so much was selfish. Just misinformed, foolhardy. Turkeys voting for christmas.

    They still won’t have it though. Brexit hasn’t caused any issues whatsoever, it’s all covids fault you know.

    Way of the world ain't it. Got a good credit rating and plenty of disposable income? Here's a credit card with 23 months interest free on purchases.
    Poor credit rating and no spare cash? No problem here's a credit card with 49.9%APR. It'll help improve your credit rating!

    I don’t find anything about this remotely funny. Sad, yes. Funny, no.

    Who said it was funny? It's absurd. An utterly ridiculous situation, as I clearly highlighted. And faced with such absurdity, we often laugh, because what else can we do.

    For the abhorrent lies Boris and Farrage pedalled to win that referendum, they should have been tried for treason. Preying on the poorly educated.

    The twin cocks of Brexit and lockdown, double penetrating this once proud country into a double prolapse.

    A lot of people overlooking the fact that Gas prices were surging well before Russia invaded Ukraine as a result if the worldwide lockdowns.
    Granted the current situation has only made things worse.
    The other corner the government have backed themselves into is Furlough. Tories calling Starmers plan absurb when they literally paid people to put nothing into the economy at the same times as "printing" money.
