Seen several Torygraph articles floating around that have the theme "Poor rich people, we have it so hard."
Then I got an ad on Youtube "Us rich people pay 29% of all income tax.😭"

The thing about rights is, they’re very hard to gain and very easy to lose.
Now that it has begun to slip, the precedent has been set, and in the next decade or so that “3 years” will slip out to 5 years, then 10, until the right to a trial by jury is lost, all under guise of “cutting the backlog”

It's less crispy, missing that fresh yeasty flavour and instead has that faint sour taste reminiscent of milk on the turn.
