And it’s only going to get worse. Next door neighbour used to regularly spend £100 per week for a food shop at Aldi. Still gets the same stuff and no treats no booze as before. Now £140. That isn’t a 9.1% increase!Oooof... prices at my local supermarket have gone up yet another notch. This is in the last 24 hours.
Cheap Grapes up 99p to £1.09.
Small loaf of bread up maybe 15-20p.
Milk up god knows how much. Again. 79p for 1 pint.
£1.15 for two pints. In new cheap packaging. Six months ago that was nearly the price for 4.
Surely this lot are done for.
We are many. And we are apathetic personified.Rise, like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number!
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you:
Ye are many—they are few!
~ Percy Bysshe Shelley

Great piece from Peter Oborne very much a conservative at heart having been employed by the DM and Torygraph
I'll have to dig out some discussion on that. Interesting.Oborne was a leaver who very quickly realised he'd been sold a bag of shite. At least he had the balls to admit it.

Where did you see the money was coming from the public purse? I thought it was coming from private donors, which is arguably even worse as that risks them being puppets of their paymasters.Each candidate been given a campaign budget of £330k to apply for PM. If they want the job, they should fund their own campaigns, they certainly can afford it.
More tax payers money spunked up the wall, whilst people struggle on from day to day
Bastards!
It was the way Kay Burley challenged one of the backers this morning, I took from it, we were paying. My bad if I misunderstoodWhere did you see the money was coming from the public purse?

No problem.It was the way Kay Burley challenged one of the backers this morning, I took from it, we were paying. My bad if I misunderstood
I'm sure she said the 1922 were allocating £330k for each candidate, so naturally assumed that was tax payers money.No problem.
The public purse is currently paying between 200-400 thousand for the resignations last week, though there are calls for those involved to clarify whether they will reject/refund/donate what they receive.
If true, that would more likely come from party funds, but it does seem a lot per individual given how briefly most will be in the race. Perhaps they’re not expected to repay it all, which might explain why so many have thrown their hats in the ring.I'm sure she said the 1922 were allocating £330k for each candidate, so naturally assumed that was tax payers money.
You are prob correct as she didn't qualify with the interviewee where it was coming from.
Still a disgusting amount when times are hard for most
Labour…They are all promising to repair our fucked up country , wonder who’s been running it for the last twelve years ???
