It cost a hell of a lot more than £8M.If this was France there would be riots on the streets and rightly so.
Politicians would be too scared to even suggest protecting bankers' bonuses and a weak excuse of trickle-down economics.
This is Britain where they doff their cap to their betters while respectfully queuing for days to see their departed monarch and just grin and bear it and anyway, they are all emotionally drained after a state funeral costing millions while the only queue that matters is the real despair in the queue for the food banks.
There must be a breaking point soon. Truss's tax cuts are insane. Her energy policies are nice n all but they're helping the richest more than the poorest and saddling future generations with the bills. The needless delay in implementation has already pushed many businesses to the wall.
They're now talking about a stamp duty cut. Of all the moronic moves you could make, that has to be up there with raising the inheritance tax threshold to the point where it raises fuck all. To be fair to Truss, they did that a long time ago.
Debt interest payments are still manageable but that's in a world of still pretty low interest rates. The UK is fairly vulnerable to a bond market crisis now.
