  1. Naturally, it is the fault of the poor. Have they tried not being poor? Just work 5 different jobs if they want to not be poor. /s

    ​

    Everything is rising. I’m somewhat fortunate that I have low expediture and it’s mostly impulsive crap that I blow my wages on. If I had to raise a family on what I earnt, i would be working several jobs and kill myself in the process from basically working non-stop every day.

    Naturally, nothing shall be done because the government hates anyone who isn’t a tory.

  2. A lot of schools sell second hand stuff (funds the pta etc) and parents pass clothes down to friends with smaller children too. There’s Facebook groups passing around uniform/clothes as well.

    Expensive if you have to have new, but good condition second hand options are pretty cheap (sometimes free).

  4. >Even the price of a football has skyrocketed by 13%

    We get it. Everything is up ~10-15% on average. We don’t need articles to list off every fucking item in existence.
