I'm so glad that the NHS is fixed, the cost of living crisis is over, and unemployment is a thing of the past, now that people have climbed up lampposts and hung some cheap flags.

The problems in our society are not caused by migrants or refugees.
They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires.
If the government wanted to improve people’s lives, it would tax the rich and build an economy that works for us all.

Given we rely on people drinking beer to make a living we say the more workshy the UK is the better. Sack off work, go to the pub, it'll be miles better. Phone in sick and have a couple of tins in front of the snooker. Leave the laptop clocked on and head to the park with a big bag of cans.
