I remember back in Thatcher's Britain, Billy Bragg saying something along the lines of 'It's all very well to advocate for 'belt-tightening', but the widest belts are being tightened around the skinniest stomachs.'
And now here we are in 2024 NZ with Gvt pitching 80s UK economics coupled with 2020s US Christo-Fascist populism. Feck me. 😞
'scuse my Klatchian, but extremely very fuck up down and sideways every single person who voted these bastards in.
