Bidenomics.
Broke Blokes?
Doesn’t help that they have been invaded by migrants who are takers. That’s going to be us before too long
And the government of the United States is doing exactly the same thing.
British liberals I know are proud to be poor and to remain poor for some reason. It’s really bizarre. They just love to whinge and complain and think nothing of it, while praising the socialist system of council flats, extremely high taxes and low wages.
It all depends on how you define “unemployment”. Here’s the bottom line. All government statistics are the same, regardless of the country. The numbers they put out mean nothing.
And now a word from George Carlin.
Brits are taking a pounding from Rishi Sunak:
https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-63635185
Thresholds have been frozen, inflation is roaring on.
above ÂŁ12,571 - 32% (20% + 12% for ‘National Insurance’, i.e. the NHS)
above ÂŁ50,270 - 42% (40% + 2% for NI)
above ÂŁ125,140 - 47% (45% + 2% for NI)
“Once you earn over ÂŁ100,000 a year, you start losing your tax-free personal allowance, which means you have to pay income tax at 40% on some of the first ÂŁ12,570 of your earnings.”
There’s also council tax (property tax) and Value-Added Tax.
And that’s under a ‘Conservative’ government.
Next up, Labour?
Watching recent Brit Box tv shows (fiction)and judging by the numbers they throw around and the way the players regard relatively low sums I’d say they’re dead broke and have been for a long time. Antiques Roadshow reinforces this impression. Again and again a thousand pounds is regarded as a wind fall and five grand practically has them fainting.
Etc fossil fuels flow and everything would be better.
Same reason millions of Americans are so broke. It’s by design of the leaders of both nations.
reason: inflation and high energy costs
Correction: reason: Climate Change Conspiracy Hoax.
“a life marked by poor living conditions, disease and addiction”
Addiction is generally an expensive, self-induced problem.
As for disease, NHS treatment is free at the point of care.
As for “poor living conditions”, people waiting at Calais would like them very much.
but the Super Market chains everywhere are making a killing and governments are letting them drain the little people
Socialism.
Hundreds of thousand Brit Males were killed in the 2 big wars, and only God knows how many killed in the IK’s covert and undeclared special ops B$.
That drove a lot of potential females capable of child bearing into leaving the UK to find a man to marry an American, Canadian, Aussie or a Kiwi.
Honestly, I’ll blame a fair amount of this on the decline of Christianity in Britain. The teachings of the Christian religion lifted up ordinary people of all classes and gave meaning to their lives. As the country drifts back to paganism with probably less than 1 in 10 Brits being practicing Christians, what is left for the working classes? Drugs, booze, football, tattoos?
Yes, the neocon war/sanctions against Russia as well as the lockdowns and government handouts have caused the standard of living throughout the West to go into serious decline.....just as the globalists wanted.
Transfer of wealth to migrants
WHERE is the surprise that the Brits are living in poverty?
1. Monthly utility bill UP thanks to liberal policy.
2. Immigration up due to liberal policy.
3. Taxes up due to liberal policy.
4. Government spending on poor, talentless, penniless, violent, muslim immigrants up thanks to liberal policy.
5. Purchasing power of the British pound DOWN thanks to liberal policy.
6. Misery Index UP thanks to DUMBASS British Voters voting for more and more, decade after decade, of items 1 through 5 above.
