Austerity was a political choice...it still is.
I appreciate lockdown cannot go on forever and there are economic trade offs.
But the UK low UC benefits, total disregard for disabled people, mental health care and council cuts when there was money again are all due to the Tories.
Not seeing much of a change there, of course we are stuck with that lot, but easy for them to make those calls as they all WFH (so do I, and while I rather NOT pay more tax you could argue a temp tax on me is more than fair) and I understand due to check and balances... wait what I am saying, the Belfast City Council has to audit every small charity grant while these feckers pissed hundreds of millions up the wall to their mates.
/rant but would be nice to see some alternative models rather than "austerity is just a fact of life" models...
