The UK economy basically works like this:
Get paid £2,000.
Give £900 to a landlord. Give £200 to the council. Give £150 to energy companies. Give £300 to supermarkets. Give £300 to car insurance and fuel.
Spend the rest surviving until next payday.
Then get lectured by someone who bought their house for £37,000 in 1988 about how you need to stop buying coffees and cancel subscriptions.
getting a fast-tracked 3-year jail sentence handed down by an AI judge for a hallucinated crime with no jury or right of appeal. the future of Britain is here baby
🚨BREAKING: Convicted child killer Kyle Bevan was brutally stabbed more than 30 times by fellow inmates in a savage 5-minute prison attack at HMP Wakefield and was left for dead.
Bevan was serving a life sentence for the horrific 2020 murder of two-year-old Lola James, whom he subjected to a savage assault causing catastrophic brain injuries and over 100 wounds.
The brutal prison attack is being seen by many as raw "prison justice" for his crimes against an innocent toddler.
in the UK you’ll notice this obsession with proximity to success. Anyone with a bit of clout is somehow “their mate”, but when it comes to actually championing people, the energy gets very strange
At this point prices in The UK are just made up:
What do you mean a return train to London is £140?
How is a weekend away in England £600? I can go abroad for a week for that!
Why is a house that was £700 a month a few years ago now £1500 a month?
How is a full tank of fuel now costing more than £100?
Why is my car insurance going up every year on the same car with no claims?
How is 2 carrier bags of shopping costing me nearly £100?
We're honestly done aren't we.
£35,000 a year in the UK in 2026 puts you in the lower class.
15 years ago it was a comfortable graduate salary that bought you a decent flat, a few holidays a year, a savings habit, and the realistic prospect of a house.
Today it gives you take-home of about £2,200 a month. Rent on a one-bed in any city worth living in starts at £1,200. Council tax £170. Energy and bills £300. Food £400. Travel £200. That's £2,270, before you've bought a single thing for pleasure.
You're behind on day one of every month.
The wage hasn't moved much in real terms in 15 years. The cost of everything around it has roughly doubled.
Every wage bracket has shifted up by one rung — the £35K that put you firmly in the middle class 15 years ago barely keeps you afloat now, and the salaries that used to count as struggling are quietly slipping into poverty.
The official conversation hasn't caught up.
Anyone calling this an 'economy that works for ordinary people' isn't talking to many ordinary people.
People were warned about new builds but all they wanted was to post keys sitting on their £3k wrens kitchen that was sold to them for £20k because the walls were painted pure brilliant white.
@Protect_Wldlife Absolute and with a scope on that rifle where anyone who ever shot could kill that animal with open sights. That guy is what gives gun owners and hunters a bad name..Besides, why would you kill a friggin giraffe?
¡Así murió el millonario Ernie Dosio, brutalmente aplastado por una manada de cinco elefantes enfurecidos junto a su cría!
Mientras cazaba antílopes, los gigantes se sintieron amenazados y, en una estampida de furia salvaje, lo pisotearon sin misericordia hasta dejarlo destrozado bajo sus toneladas de músculo y rabia.
Un final tan cruel como inesperado para un hombre que lo tenía todo.
