Once again, as with every budget aftermath, the one constant among governments of all types is this. Poor people must be kicked hard to do what is 'right'. Rich people must be bribed to do what is 'right'. Among all the craziness of UK political life, it is the one thing that stays the same.
We had an actual prime minister who was, openly, an advocate of eugenics and in the 5 or 6 years he was at the forefront of politics, not one journalist even mentioned it, never mind asked a question.

His move to PM began with one of mandelson's own giving up his 90 grand a year job. And people still expected the king in the north to be different to the previous mandelson men in westminster?? Labour together is mandelson. And he is 'this' and nothing else.
There are at least 5 professional Beatles impersonating bands that look enough like them to travel the world as the Beatles. It would have been much easier to teach those guys to act than it seemingly is to make actors look like the Beatles. Worked for the Michael Jackson one, just saying.
I thinks more about creating plausible deniability at this point.
Jonny Morris@jonnymorris.bsky.social · 3mo agoThey did this relentlessly during the pandemic, as the government kept changing policy on the hoof, so you'd think you were going mad because the same BBC news story would say the opposite of what it had said an hour before. It was infuriating.
Isn't it odd how these supposed multimillion-dollar companies can close overnight, and no one at all notices unless actively investigating them? Where are the customers, the suppliers, the licensing oversight?
