Politicians today are out of touch. The cost of living crisis affects most people everyday, but instead of doing the job of government, we get big ideas that take time and don't realise we need immediate results now.
The cost of electricity has been the most significant issue with spiraling costs.
Businesses too suffer and passing costs to customers, seeing demand fall - these all have real economic consequences.
And the people in charge of our country don't seem to face the fact we are going off a cliff as a country. They hold their hands up, shake their heads and say we just need to buckle up.
Tax cuts aren't a solution. The actual costs of goods and services need to be drastically reduced. Japan is the example. It is the nightmare we face. Look how long it took for them to recover, and the reality is, they haven't made a bounce back. They were cut from the knees.
Discontent isn't the word for it. Fed up is more like it. So these useless beauty contestants - Sunak and Truss, I don't want to write you off, I don't want to be fatalistic, but neither of you seem like you are the white knight to save us.
Write to your politician and tell them this is not good enough. Switch to alternatives where possible. Save where you can. We might all even need to become more communal - eg generations and families living together to try to save. Supply is down, demand has stayed the same. We need to bring demand down as individuals. This is not ideal, but our governments have failed us.
The Great Britain story was a comedy. It is full of fantasist. The horror story is evolving and we all see a tragic ending.
