gonadic io posted:Actually I think you'll find that poor kids only get lovely jobs so barely contribute to the economy, probably on the dole anyway. Only investment bankers and programmers' kids should be fed. "You don't need to know about art or history in order to stack shelves, or serve coffee. Complete waste of money teaching it in the first place!"

And a political cartoonist did a bunch of cartoons of the various leaders during the debate & they ended up as avatars for several people. Like Willie Rennie of the Lib Dems going down a slide. Well, Venomous's is of Kezia Dugdale, the then Labour leader.

what's up with inflation in the UK? it was worse than the US last year during the truss crisis but the interest rate hikes are still lagging behind the US and inflation is still super high. i would figure the city of london types would be going apoplectic clamboring for lower inflation, but would this mean too much of a middle-class disaster since everyone is on a variable mortgage?
