Hefty in reply to @Eejit

The reason given for austerity was to avoid what we’ve just seen - if the country spends more than it gets in then the international markets (whatever they are) think we’re shit and fuck us. The austerites will argue that what just happened proves they were right I expect.

I have no opinion on this because it’s too hard for me to understand.

don't agree - austerity was ideologically driven, damaging and unneeded.

what came next amply demonstrated that we can afford to support people and services better without causing hyper inflation or breaking the £.

I didn’t say it was true, I said it was the reason given.

Everyone did it during the ‘Rona so it didn’t disadvantage the uk, relative to everyone else. Is what they’ll say.

Lots more austerity is on the way if the blue colour people stay in power.
