I think that’s the whole issue .

Wasters and weirdos, that’s the future you want.

Everybody has missed the point and not for the first time

The economy is screwed because of the hysterical over reaction to covid, which was zealously supported by all the political parties. They should have ignored it, like they do with every other virus. The government pissed away about £400billion on covid and they've got nothing to show for it except a ruined economy.

Today's budget is like rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic.

I refuse to believe you're that dumb.
I'm guessing this is another attempt at EDGINESS.

[InversneckieDob]

Covid wouldn't have been any worse if they had ignored it.

Doubling down....quite edgy.

[donsdaft]

The problem is DD, the real wasters have portfolios and accountants.

The tabloids concentrate on folk on benefits.

Far far too many folk on benefits.
The weird thing is that folk who claim to be on the left want to keep them on benefits.

Lockdowns didn't work, so what would you have done?

One of these days you’ll post something semi coherent but it’s not today

Problem is there's generational, systemic, sociological disenfranchisement rife in this country.
You don't fix that by cutting benefits, it takes generations of targeted, effective investment in education and social care.

You don't undo forty odd years of "letting the markets decide" in two budgets.

Could have done what Sweden did and had one of the lowest death rates in Europe.

Lockdowns didn't work, so what would you have done?

The first lock down came dqr too late.
The scum in power applied their laissez-faire approach to this.
And because of the current, global socio-economic model in place, the vaccine took WAY longer than necessary.

Your way may have worked faster but a helluva lot more people would have died.
But I guess that would've been the edgy solution?

You don't undo years of the Labour party keeping the west coasters on the dole because it guaranteed a Labour vote in two budgets either.

Eventually it didn't work for Labour, it certainly didn't work for Scotland.

But it's eventually down to the individual, do you want to earn your way in the world or do you want to be a sponger?

Unfortunately, we know what they'd rather do.

They may well say they want to earn their way, but as long as it didn't mean getting up in the morning every day.
