I’m just waiting for some autocue-reader to realise that all the overseas aid we have to fork out to countries and their despots is more than enough money which is denied normal British citizens.
But you’ll never read or hear that from the BBC of course…
Storytellers do not give us the real world
#1 It’s not the political agenda they want
#2 They rush to easy tricks to make the story EXCITING

I went to point out that Aldi/Tesco pasta is 23p per 500g
but today’s check shows it’s now gone up to 28p
Is it right to go around shouting that pasta has gone up 20% ?
FFS it’s 5p per half kilo
It’s not the 5p that worries people
It’s the £50-100 extra per month through accommodation costs etc.
I notice Tesco Bitter is still £1.13 for 4 cans
There seems to be a dearth of chicken, bacon, potatoes, lettuce
so I am able to find them at way below the normal price.

3) Drive Less. I start work at 6am – no buses, or could book a taxi 🙂 I’ll stay at home then?
On the radio the other day there was a advert for using the train once a week. It takes me 15 mins in the car to get to work.
