Probably not. I went on a weird deep dive into elite noncery a while back and the consensus among the wingnuts is that Blair had a conviction for soliciting consensual sex with another man in a public convenience, but he never diddled kids. They do think that he was happy to protect and cover up for Peter Mandelson and Gordon Brown, who they think were involved in the Maddie McCann disappearance and the Dunblane massacre, respectively.

Involved in the Dunblane massacre how exactly?

The Dunblane conspiracy I've heard a bunch online was about George Robertson having some connection with the shooter Thomas Hamilton. Possibly a freemason thing? I can't remember.

Never heard Brown's name brought up in connection with Dunblane or any suggestion he was a paedophile. The gossip about Brown was always that he was gay.

iirc the conspiracy theory about Dunblane was that the shooter, who ran a bunch of youth clubs for years, was supposed to be the pimp of a masonic paedophile ring, which presumably Brown is accused of being a part of. I think the massacre was supposed to be part of a cover up?

Look this recent recession is just a minor blip on the radar, UK has clearly had a robust recovery since the financial crisis and we can afford a slight backsli- Real pay cut for millions since 2010, TUC study suggests

BBC posted:

Pay rates have effectively fallen for the UK's lower and middle income earners since 2010, research suggests.

Workers in jobs paying between £9.56 and £12.73 an hour have seen their "real" wage fall 1% since 2010 after inflation is accounted for, analysis by the Trades Union Congress (TUC) found.

...

The pay rate analysis identifies middle income earners, those earning near the median wage rate of £12.73 per hour, as having their earning power eroded since 2010.

This 1% reduction in pay rates compares to a rise of 7% for this group of 7.7 million workers between 2002 and 2010, the TUC analysis argues.

For workers earning between the median wage rate of £12.73 and £25.45 per hour, pay rates have on average fallen 3% in the period.

The TUC analysis shows the 1.1 million highest income earners, banking above £25.45 per hour worked, saw average pay rates rise 4% since 2010.

But not to worry, Boris Johnsons' government response is to assure us that all is well in the fair land:

quote:

Ministers say all workers saw income tax cuts and real pay was now rising.

As a side note I also really like how BBC uses verbs like 'suggests' and 'argues' rather than, say, 'shows'.

Taking advantage of free food when you need it is good, and it's good that people who aren't literally dying from hunger also have access to it. The €1 a day diet, while viable in terms of caloric intake, isn't exactly good for you long term.
