Remember when she sent inflation skyrocketing and nearly bankrupted every pension fund in the country, sacked after 6 weeks, of which most of that was spent burying old Lizzy.
Man those were some good times.
I can only suppose that a "Truss supporting economist" is the equivalent of a fireman holding a Molotov cocktail.
They would, wouldn't they?
That site really needs a newer stock photo of cash. I felt compelled to look it up: The paper tenner was withdrawn in 2018 and the round pound coins were withdrawn in 2017.
Feels like last week. Where the hell has the time gone? (Pandemic probably hasn't helped.)
Back on topic, those economists are letting their cold, blue little hearts rule their heads. Ghouls.
First time I came to England before moving here there were still the small, fat pound coins. When I came back a few years ago I thought I was experiencing some weird Mandela effect
The entire country was scandalised, until we were reassured that the new pound coins would still work in trolley locks.
I brought some cash I still had, tried to get in the bus from the airport and was told what I had wasn't legal money. Shit was confusing, went to a cash point really close by and got to see the bus leave without me.
They have changed the picture from white fivers mate.
Yes, make the poors poorer, that'll surely help,
You cannot have trickle down economics without having a bunch of paupers to drip money to.
Supporting Liz Truss rather cancels out the economist part.
What Truss knows about prudent economic policy would fit on the back of a postage stamp.
Misread this as "Trans-supporting" and I was so, so confused.
