I'm well aware of inflation, but it says a lot that penioners vote tory and literally no one else seems to anymore. As I said, I support universal pensions, but why not do anything serious to help people raising children? I'm seriously wondering what the point of staying in London is. I still love the city, but the country has a death wish - not born here, almost a citizen, have been able to vote since we arrived due to commonwealth. After more than a decade of effective austerity as well, it's hard to see how anything can actually get better without a political will and consensus to invest that just doesn't seem to exist. It really does feel like the place is falling apart when you interact with govt services these days.
