I’m afraid this whole thread is exactly what the interests behind these influential publications want: it’s distraction tactics. Look away from the powerful moneyed interests at the top of our society, who have seen their tax thresholds reduced & their tax avoidance unscrutinised. We’re still paying off the national debt incurred from the banking crisis & the massive fraud from profiteers during covid, but don’t talk about that, let’s blame those with no voice; the poor, the disabled, ethnic minorities etc etc. And it works, because here we are, many in receipt of benefits talking about the odd person who’s abused the system or we don’t think is deserving of the same benefits & ignoring the elephant in the room.
blah, blah, blah
