“Last winter, I already had a group of children who stood round the radiator outside my office every morning because they had no heating on at home and needed to warm up,” said Paul Gosling, head of Exeter Road community primary school in Exmouth. “We will have far more children turning up to school hungry.”

- Because their demands are all top level thinking, without going deep into monetary flows, geopolitics. Impacts of their demand = country ruined.shapesalad
- We need to do the opposite, if uk was a low wage, low tax (esp for rich), tax haven - GDP would go up and we'd be better off. All they want is debt increase.shapesalad
- It's all "its not fair that guy got rich" talk. "We want to be rich, tax those rich people more".shapesalad
- Instead you want to say "That's great, they got rich, big profits are good, let's make it easier to get rich and attract wealth to this gloomy island."shapesalad
- Tax the rich, tax big corps, increase wages = rich won't come. companies won't invest. Companies won't look to invest in uk as they can't afford the wages - egshapesalad

- Before Brexit we were the gateway to Europe, the English speaking door to EU. Now we are an island with little to offer, just obese population wanting high pay.shapesalad
- UK got most of its GDP from capital gains tax, not on productivity. Think about that!shapesalad

Energy crisis: UK households worst hit in western Europe, finds IMF

The difference between the cost burden on poor and rich households is also far more unequal in the UK compared with other countries.
- aren't Shell and BP British companies? Why is the UK so dependant on foreign Gas?uan
- It’s because the British are absolute grubby cunts. Half the gas comes from the North Sea. There isn’t even a supply issue...kingsteven
- The companies are just stealing from the poor for the craickingsteven
- you know brexit means we are now at the mercy of what EU/France want to charge us for electricity. Before we had a set limited price.shapesalad
