There is no ‘black hole’ in Britain’s finances

  1. Remember at the end of austerity 1.0, instead of giving people their services back, David Cameron announced a massive tax give away for the rich. He thanked the nation for their sacrifice by kicking it in the teeth.

    The country still hasn’t socially or financially recovered from those years and yet they want to go again

    Violent crime higher than generations, youths as young as 10 carry knives, people can’t feed their children, there are no Drs, nurses or teachers and even if there were, there’s nowhere for them to work.

    It’s lovely to know how the Tories think austerity 2.0 is going to solve the problems created by 1.0, but one thing that won’t surprise me is when the electorate decide to lap it up like the freshest jersey cream because we’re apparently gluttons for punishment

  2. Only black hole in Britain’s finances is the vacuous Conservative Party.

    Nasa have proved it by the constant low intensity drone emitting from Hunt.

  3. Yes there is. The superrich are creating a black hole by hoarding their wealth. The black hole at the centre of our galaxy should really be called a black mass.

  4. I’m old enough to remember that austerity 1.0 was promoted and justified because of an economic theory that sprang from [a mistake in a spreadsheet](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/politics/2013/apr/18/uncovered-error-george-osborne-austerity).

    Nick Clegg even said he chose the Tories over Labour to go into coalition with based on their ideas around austerity – all because someone was bad at excel.

    And fun fact, when that mistake was uncovered, George Osborne didn’t care at all and kept going. He was questioned on it in parliament if I recall and just dodged it.

  5. So maybe i’m a bit stupid but what happens when year after year, decade after decade, money in the form of massive corporate profits and huge CEO salaries are stored in foreign bank accounts? I would assume that over time the overall economy suffers the loss like a pool that has buckets of its water taken out over and over again.
