What a fucked up inspection. If your genuine British passport isn't good enough what does that mean?

I assume we must have loads of Russian sleeping cells with British regional accents and mannerisms walking about just waiting for Vlad to activate them.
 
Yet another minister on Sky this morning with the answer to the cost of living crisis.

Work more hours or get a better paid job.

Whatever next? Tax the poorly paid more to encourage them to get better paid jobs?

They have the levers at their disposal, starting with the minimum wage. For the past 20 years the tax payer has been propping up the profits of companies like Tesco who continue to post [mostly] increasing profits - whilst paying their staff less, in real terms, than they did a decade ago. It’s a race to the bottom and our benefits system is supporting it and this is the real scandal in this country that we are sleep walking with. Forget populist “windfall taxes” on energy companies - because they seem like a simple and “just” solution - when in reality it’s the long term systematic abuse by these large corporations that has got us where we are today, where an average salary no long buys you an average house or where you can’t afford to live your life.

Well said.

Most folk are working their fucking arses off for salaries that barely cover the bills and as you say, let’s them pay extortionate rents but are not enough for a bank to lend them a mortgage that would cost less per month.

Its fucked up!
