In the olden days we used to hand total unaccountable political power to people because their ancestors were successful warlords, as opposed to our sensible, modern system where we hand total unaccountable political power to people whose parents were racist landords or racist emerald mine magnates.

This just isn't true though is it. No one wants anything lower quality, but the cheaper side of things has become unavoidable because of the cost of living. The drive in decline comes from those at the top thirsty to squeeze every drop from everyone.

I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

Lads, lasses, those who lie betwixt or are neither: I've got a promotion at work for 6 months (woo!) and I'll be doing a train commute of over an hour a couple times a week. Give me book recs, podcast recs, audiobook recs please and thank. May also use the time reteaching myself to do Rubik's Cube.

You know what? Sometimes life has been a bit grim, and I've definitely made mistakes and bad decisions but thank fucking God I've never been so daft as to strap a camera to myself and livestream walking around a British town claiming I'm an "auditor".

In defence of Count Binface, anyone willing to dress up in all that costume and put a massive plastic bin on their head in this weather/heat is more dedicated to a comedic bit than most MPs are to their constituencies.
