    Im not the one harping on about this sort of stuff when there are real problems in the country that need tackling like the cost of living.

    Most 'responsible' folk can cope with what's going on just now, think about how your parents and grandparents managed...

    I don't think he is.

    It is strange though when the coverage is about how many people are struggling and yet airports are overrun. Only reason I can think is they paid for the holidays pre covid and they have just been rolled over

    I'm not sure everybody can Tony. My wife works in a "rough" primary school. She has always said its the (now so-called) JAMS who struggle most. These are not irresponsible people, maybe unskilled and uneducated, but work hard and still struggle to make ends meet. These are the ones who will suffer most.

    a mixture of that and the fact its cheaper to fly abroad than it is to have a staycation. its cheaper to fly to most places in europe than it is to get a train from the north to the south for example.

    I dont think thats a fair comment at all. My grandparents weren't paying in excess of 50% of their income out in rent for one.

    Im not left wing Ive explained this countless times to you.

    If you think an 8% rise in inflation. A national debt the highest ever. Increases in fuel up to £2.04 I saw today at Texaco and literally everything else rising in costs is not a cost of living crisis then yes youre a clown.

    How would someone on a fixed income like benefits, disability living allowance or a state pension feel about your generalised view of the current situation?

    And how ironic that something which is quite clearly evidenced in every purchase you and others make be labelled as 'sensationalism' when you cant even accept that if someone decides not to eat meat, see's themselves as a member of the other sex or whatever other individual freedom they want to express is perceived as a threat to society, or native britishness as you explained so ineloquently earlier. The best way to condense the actual sensationalism it into one word argument is to call you that what you are a clown.

    When he was young mortgages were less than 3 times the salary of the homeowner and now they are 9 times. But Tony the man of the world knows best.
