Actual Cancel Culture of a significant cultural figure [unlike where far right extremists engage in hate speech & are held accountable]. It’s extremism like this, & the disinterest of the current UK Labour govt in stopping the shift to the far right, that’s deeply worrying.

Anyone who still believes trickle down economics works after 2008 is completely delusional or being dishonest (either with themselves or with you).

All of them have figured it out, they're just beholden to the corporate line of "economy strong." It is nice to see the facade cracking just a bit.
Of course consumer spending is up, everything costs more. To live at the same level we were just a few years ago means we're spending more saving less.
