I’ve waited patiently for well over twelve months to have a routine procedure in an NHS hospital, but like Diana Ross laments, “I’m Still Waiting” and the pain is getting worse by the day.
The weekly “Big Shop” is cancelled until further notice. Now it’s a daily visit to find the best “Whoopsies” at Aldi, Asda, and Lidl; I call it “Shopping to Survive”.
Daily bathing is now cancelled, the new routine has become a quick shower every three days; because the water usage rates have jumped through the roof and don’t even get me started on your state sanctioned gas and electric off the meter tariff 50% charges increase.
No discernible pension increase is on the horizon, but meanwhile, by my estimate, the real cost of living has increased by around 35% in the last three months.
Don’t be ashamed Rishi, just blame (or in your case admire) the idiots gullible enough to be sucked in by and voted for the smooth talking, mainly corrupt Cabinet full of Conservative and Unionist Cretins who are led by a blonde-haired, grinning, smirking, clueless clown who is aided and abetted by his quisling sidekick Sir Kier Starmer.
Meanwhile you can afford to donate one million pounds to your old boarding school. Never since the days of serfdom has the divide between the rich and poor been so great. How do you sleep at night?
