[@joisagirlsname]

@@williamsulman2646 having wealth ultra concentrated in an ever-diminishing pool of hands is the exact opposite of optimal conditions to run a small business in. Left wing political parties are better economic managers than the right in ANY western country. Wealth does not trickle down from the wealthy to the poor: it trickles up from the poor to the wealthy by the mechanism of debt and increases in production efficiency without paying labour (which creates the value in society) a fair representative compensation for that labour, by means of theft as well as wage stagnation. If you don't understand those three economic fundamentals, you're well insulated against economic realities, whether that's through ignorance or privilege, I couldn't say. Tories have run the economy into the absolute ditch over the last 12 years. Who is actually better off now than they were in 2010?

@Ксенія♡укр I hink it has changed somewhat already. We're all heading for a an almighty Sh*t storm that will eventually lead to prolonged stagflation (which would make a deep recession look like a picnic by comparison). So I would be expecting the Tories to be tightening the purse strings about now, but they're not. They're currently on a borrowing spree! So I can't decide if this is incompetence or a strategy that embraces what is seen as the inevitable. A "We'll play them at their own game whatever the cost, so long as we win the next election" strategy. Regardless, the Tories are the ONLY ones acting out of character here, and that in itself is a dramatic change in British politics. It'll be interesting to see how long they keep this up.

A lot of the problems started when High Street banks introduced overdrafts on current accounts in about 1984. That never used to happen and it doesn't happen today in France, Germany or Spain, where if you need to borrow, you take out a loan! People were enticed into easy debt, with the banks acting like drug peddlers. It became 'normal' to go into the red, and banks then cleaned up by whacking huge fees and ridiculous interest on customers who strayed without permission. For those who get (surprise surprise) a poor credit rating, along come credit cards and failing that, Wonga and Co. Absolute sharks.

Since David Cameron was prime minister the average UK person’s spending power has fallen compared to the French, Germans, Dutch, Australians, Canadians etc. and on average we would need to earn £8,800 per annum extra to catch back up according to IFS and OECD! These figures were compiled before the energy increases! A bloke said that his parents came to the UK with £500 so what! When did they arrive and what support / connections did they have?

I have never been a Conservative, but I believe we need genuine Conservative voices at the table for healthy political discourse. That said, the Tories are no longer Conservative in any sense of the word. They used to stand for the business backbone of the country, for law and order, for tradition, which I can respect up to a point. But over the past 12 years or so, the Tory regime has lurched to the right, supporting policies that were previously shunned by the mainstream and heralded by the Nation Front and the British National Party. Infrastructure has been ripped away (social care, NHS, rail and post privatisation, austerity), businesses pushed abroad (Brexit), and now the UK is suffering from a needless cost of living crisis because of policies that allow company board members and shareholders to hoard all the cash while people in the middle bracket have been pulled down into poverty and those who were already there are even worse off or dead. A change is required and the Green Party can deliver it, but voters poo poo them for being too small. What we need is a GreenieMcGreen Face movement!
