Remember to thank a torry.
They also need to thank themselves. They voted Brexit. They voted May. They voted Johnson. And they voted Johnson in a landslide
So in a process lasting over 3 years at three different points they had the chance to consider, if the path they are on is the right path. And despite everyone telling them it is not, they continued and they cheered on.
Everything that happened since Brexit was perfectly predictable and extensively warned about. The british people knew exactly what they wanted and they kept wanting it. It doesn’t matter, if they now change their mind about the Torries. It will last for a legislature and then they will be back to wanting to harm themselves to do whatever the british equivalent is to “own the libs”. Only when they take responsibility and accept, that they weren’t conned by some genius manipulator, but happily went down this path, only then they can learn to better their country.
Like many issues globally, this is mainly because the world is helt hostage by the biggest demographic, which is still the baby boom generation. It’s becoming smaller but also way more conservative.
So in lieu of making fun of the Britons who fell victim to this, one should politically engage younger generations to vote. They don’t have the numbers yet, so every vote counts.
Brexit moment.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Nearly half of those households said that since May they had to disconnect their fridge or freezer for the first time, a sign the cost of living crisis was still hurting low-income families, according to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) charity.
Millions of families were still resorting to “desperate measures” to cope with rising bills and prices, it said, with four out of five households on universal credit also going without food, turning off the heating, and not replacing worn-out clothing.
The JRF’s latest cost of living crisis tracker survey found that in October a quarter (2.8m) of UK low-income households ran up debt to pay for food, a third sold belongings to raise cash, and one in six had used community “warm rooms”.
The findings come amid concerns among poverty charities that ministers are looking to reduce financial help for low income families at next week’s autumn statement by cutting benefits and winding down cost of living support payments.
There is speculation ministers could freeze the value of working age benefits from next April, which would raise billions for the Treasury but make about 9m households lose out on an estimated average of £460, and push lower income families even further into poverty.
Charities are concerned that headline falls in inflation levels, while welcome, will do little to improve living standards for the poorest unless benefits, the value of which has been eroded over recent years, are increased to reflect food and energy prices and private sector rents.
