It’s not a great look. Those born between 1946 and 1980 (of which I’m one) benefitted greatly from the enormous sacrifice of those who lived through the depression and World War II. Compare that to those born after 1990 (in the UK) who finished high school when or after the global financial crisis occurred, followed by austerity and Brexit. Probably I’m oversimplifying because I’ve heard that the 1970s weren’t that great in the UK either.
The UK is in serious need of tax simplification.
The UK tax code runs over 20,000 pages.
Its just absurd as it has tripled in size since 1997.
I like #5 and #18.
It’s pies that should be price capped in Wigan not kebabs if you are trying to win votes.
At least you can get meat pies there (assuming you mean meat). They only put fruit or chicken (disgusting) in pies here.
Give a Wiganer a fruit pie instead of a meat one and they’d probably kill you.

I misread anyway a Wigan kebab is a pie sandwich, should have remembered that.
Major Police Scandal brewing after the video of the Nowak murder was made available online. Video is really appalling.
One officer has resigned already, with more to come.
The UK needs to have a serious re-think about policing. You cannot treat people differently simply based on background. We have given far too much special treatment to minorities, which is why you get situations like this one where it was cynically weaponised. This is a recipe for massive levels of societal resentment.
And another knife attack from an asylum seeker from Sudan.
This is all playing into Reforms hands now. Northern Ireland is already a very difficult place to be for most immigrants/asylum seekers, and this latest attack has created a political problem for Starmer and Burnham. No way they can relax the coming immigration/asylum changes now.
