It’s genuinely insane , it’ll be about 15% of the average salary gone before you’ve bought a loaf or a pint of milk.

There are going to be riots this year the way things are going with this lot
They are pushing it way to far the arrogant bastards.
They are pushing it way to far the arrogant bastards.
They’ll just blame people on dinghies, mick lynch , the trans lobby or some such rubbish and a large proportion will eat it up , it’s an outrage and I can’t understand why people aren’t furious .

I was in a taxi the other night and the driver was lamenting about the cost of living. We both agreed that as a people we need to get the Tories out of any power or influence for the good of the nation. This point of the conversation was as we arrived at the destination. I paid the fare and was about to get out when he said "what about Starmer though mate, you can't trust him or Labour". The Tories have done such a job in dividing people and setting us against one another, it is sickening.

Divide and rule.
I have always found it best to never discuss politics with taxi drivers. Have had a few very awkward silent journeys in the past.

To be honest, Jim, I am past caring about sensibilities. I am not enamoured with any of the political parties so not inclined to sing the praises of any side but this mess is simply too much. We have a group of crooks who are dismantling the country and pushing generations toward debt laden serfdom. To have pushed mild mannered, comfortable me to this point is quite an achievement.
There’s a Stewart Lee bit, which starts with him in a taxi and he says something like “I wasn't in the mood to have to nod along and agree with something racist, out of politeness”, and I’ve very much had this experience before, ending in a rather uncomfortable, silent, rest of the journey
I left the U.K. couple of years ago. Never want to live there again tbh. The decline in the living standards in the last 10 years has been unreal.

I imagine that there will be many thinking along these lines.

This Tory Govt is currently one of the least popular Governments in the history of the UK - I don't see them as being representative of the nation at all not even our Tory average voter. Fingers crossed this will continue to be reflected at the polls leading into the election early next year.

Welcome back Wayne
Hospital approved by Labour, in Liverpool with a Labour council, I think the phrase is ‘wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole’. Seriously though it’s just the usual government incompetence where mega millions gets spent on projects and overseen by amateurs. The cost was about the same as our new stadium and should have taken about the same time…shambles as always…..

Let me know when and where you're heading and I'll join you.
It's not so easy these days for many.
My mother and stepfather are house hunting in France. They have the means to buy their way in (not completely sure on how that works). My stepfather voted for brexit and now wants out of the UK.
Can you believe it.
Not sure how that would work either. Access to public health care etc will be a bit of a nightmare for them I imagine.
Having the opportunity to move to places like France is basically only available to the wealthy now.
