So the Greens want to give me £320 for my gas and electricity. Not complaining and certainly would take it. It is similar to what France did with giving citizens €100 which was means tested I guess. But I would like to know why the opposition (mainly Labour, but SNP and Lib Dems too) think we hide a fucking money tree somewhere. If it isn't the £20 uplift, its extending furlough, international aide, instillation everyones home, better boiler subsidises, keeping the triple lock or some other form of bloody handout. I understand times are hard, but it isn't like inflation wasn't talked about when we went into lockdown and everyone was all for doing that then. We are where we are and there is no getting round we need to spend more sensible now. We managed to cope after the war and we managed it in the 70s. Nobody likes to tighten their belt but that is just how it is now. And I only hope the opposition doesn't have freebie fever if they ever do get into power. Brown couldn't spend his way out of debt and neither will the Greens.
