[thread] "are often missing from discussions on poverty in modern-day Britain"

So just to disassemble this
Now I haven't searched through Television or radio archives over the last decade of austerity

To find examples away from published research or local councils or the print/online press

But I think the examples above prove

It was discussed
As to "Underinvested left-behind communities in South West England - including those in rural areas"

Here's a reminder of a letter to a Prime Minister warning of the effects of austerity

Oh this was in February 2016 6 years INTO austerity

theargus.co.uk/news/14262322.…
And here is Liz Truss

With a simple question on the effects of austerity on her local constituency

I counterpointed it with HER LOCAL CONSITUENCY

Which is worse - that she doesn't know or that she does know but cannot say?

I would actually say

The most important thing

Is not to imagine

But to remember

To imagine

Means first you must remember

So join me on a journey of imagination, remembering, anger, fear and inspiration

So first we start on imagination

So

Over 150,000 dead

How do you imagine those numbers?

Of course for each of those 150,000

Leaves behind family and friends

Each of who will be grieving

[thread] I used a comedian recently about where the threshold was in a joke that went too far

I will introduce you to that at the end of a picture round of questions

What would you find it *unacceptable* for a politician to beg/mis-use money for?

At what point do you *CARE"
1. Essential foods?
2. Essential toiletries

Just imagine in the midst of pandemic with tens of thousands dead and yet more tens of thousands who are going to die. A comedian joked about letting the bodies piled high

Joking

It wasn't a comedian

It was the Prime Minister
I want to introduce you to a comedy clip of Jimmy Carr

Where he tries to determine where people find a joke too offensive

It has gone too far

Oh and here's an article from a historian about bodies piled high

Promises made prior to the 2010 election

And

Promises made in the 2010 manifesto
So first off for the manifesto

Does a country have the democractic right to choose to have a referendum?

Yes or No

It's a simple question.

I transcribed Douglas' interview below
If you have answered No.

Why?
