It genuinely feels like we now live in two different countries.

In one Britain, people drag themselves to work, pay eye‑watering taxes, National Insurance, council tax, energy bills, travel costs – and still stare at their bank balance wondering how they’re going to afford new shoes for the kids.

In the other Britain, a growing army are parked on benefits with rising sickness and disability claims, pulling in combined payments that can beat a full‑time wage and then stacking extra perks, from cut‑price bills to leisure and lifestyle discounts, on top.

The same government that says it is “cash‑strapped” and “tough choices” for services somehow finds endless billions for a welfare system its own Prime Minister now calls “unsustainable, indefensible and unfair” – but the only people expected to swallow it are the workers footing the bill.

We pay. They benefit.

That’s the deal. And it is ripping any sense of basic solidarity to shreds.

Love this as a Northerner living in the South. Endless amusement / confusement and piss taking with the man.

So happy that Daisy's Dream has been selected as Charity of the Year @UniofReading. After learning of them a few years back, I wish this had been available to me as child.
