I genuinely don’t understand it. We had years and years of brutal public services cuts and them being ground to the bone, where’s the money gone? People around me just say “tax cuts/payoffs for billionaires” but idk if that’s verified

    Most of the politicians in power over the last decade or so made their friends in private business incredibly rich. Just think of the millions of pounds spent on covid masks that were either not delivered at all or were of such poor quality that they wouldn’t offer any protection. No one went to jail for that, but plenty of MP’s got paid I’m willing to bet.

    That’s where the bulk of that money went.
