[QUOTE="How bad boy, post: 7145417, member: 3028"] It's hard to disentangle Brexit, the Ukraine war and Covid when trying to assess how much the Tories have fucked up Britain. Anyway, things are going great. [IMG]http://cdn.statcdn.com/Infographic/images/normal/27447.jpeg[/IMG] Must be something to do with those acute personnel shortages: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/oct/24/nurse-recruitment-drive-launched-by-nhs-england-amid-acute-shortages[/URL] Thames Water ended their hosepipe ban today. South East Water, Yorkshire Water and others still have hosepipe bans in force. In entirely unrelated news, the UK hasn't had a new water reservoir since 1992. I'm sure that's unrelated to privatisation in 1989... The UK's National Grid issued a blackout warning today. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/uk-news/national-grid-blackout-power-warning-25581365[/URL] At least they've reopened the UK's main gas storage facility, 3 weeks ago: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.centrica.com/media-centre/news/2022/centrica-re-opens-rough-storage-facility/[/URL] And Bulb's bailout will cost £6.5 billion. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ft.com/content/2d19da21-b79f-4ee3-8c74-5c61abca7a13[/URL] As a Bulb customer, that figure seems somewhat surprising because they only got 1.6 million customers. I'm sure it's not just pissed up against a wall. Oh, right, it was because they barred Bulb from hedging: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/nov/17/bail-out-bust-energy-supplier-bulb-cost-taxpayers-65bn-octopus[/URL] Let's see, what else is going on? Oh yes, 90% of schools are out of money: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theguardian.com/education/2022/oct/22/exclusive-90-of-uk-schools-will-go-bust-next-year-heads-warn[/URL] More councils are going 'bankrupt'*, another 2 last week: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/nov/14/two-tory-run-councils-warns-pm-of-possible-bankruptcy[/URL] All bar one Tory run. Rail strikes are ongoing. And the UK has the highest tax burden since the early 50s. It almost seems cruel to lob Brexit onto that pile of burning shit. *they can't technically go bankrupt, they're just fucked because they have no more money and no way of getting it. [/QUOTE]
