You didn't read that BBC article did you? Wages are going up because they can't attract people to do the job in the UK because the conditions are so sh*t. I'd love to know what you do for a living because this world of which you speak is just not the same one I live in.
You'll be saying the Unicorn population is thriving next.
What do you do for a living? Do you run your own business or are you in the public sector? Are you highly skilled e.g. a neurologist? Do you need to work for long periods in Europe or are you in a desk job in Ebbw Vale? Do you export your products or skills? Do you only buy British? Are you typing on a British piece of tech or is it designed and manufactured on the other side of the world and shipped in? Will you only buy British cars, flags, sausages?
Unemployment rising would be great if it was rising in highly skilled areas and directly contributing to production.
I'm sick to death of people who voted for Brexit, f*cked it up and made life difficult for millions, and then come on football message boards and still try and sell their pathetic, idealogical, selfish crap years after nothing good has come of it (except some vacuous propaganda puked out by our pathetic government).
And no. I'm not up for discussing this stuff civilly anymore. Did that approach make my life better? No, it didn't. Yeah, food prices are up, but everything is up and it was heading that way before Covid. Not just food, every piece of tech and software I use professionally is massively more expensive. Everything I need to do is massively more difficult and expensive. And, yes, I hold people who voted for Brexit entirely responsible. You don't get a free pass anymore.
Wages going up in sh*t jobs is great, is it? They're still sh*t jobs. Ask people if they'd like to do them. Working-class? We're all f*cking working class unless you're born into money. Are you born into money? We're all f*cking working-class idiots making sh*t loads of money for people like Dyson who f*cks off to Singapore.
I'm sick of it.
