    2008 and the start of austerity was now close to 16 years ago. It went out of fashion everywhere else but we bloody stuck with it 💪🇬🇧

      This goes back to Thatcher’s implementation of Reaganomics. Cut services sand taxes, turn the economy into the lawless wild west, blame government for the resulting shitty life for workers as justification to further cut services asnd taxes. 2008 was just feul for the fire.
