The thing about public opinion, is that it is usually badly misinformed.This government have pulled off the great PR stunt of convincing a lot of people that all public sector workers have the holidays of a teacher, the pay and conditions of a senior civil servant and the lifestyle of the Mighty Badger.
Now let's cut the pay of those greedy dinner ladies.

we are mostly funded by donations but i guess with people having less spare cashthose donations will decrease
as we face more and more genuinely distressed people worrying that they will become homeless because, while they can't work and need help getting better and help getting back functioning in society, any sort of safety net is pulled out from beneath them and they fall further from society, all while we tell them they are scroungers and it's all their fault

i mean, they didn't exactly inherit it in the usual way because of course it was a global problem,rather than specifically labour's fault, and according to plenty of you know, nobel winning economists etc, the way they are trying to get out of it is completely the wrong way to do it and will make things worse. which of course, we hope is not the case.
