I shouldn't quote my own post but a quick Google and scan of 'austerity uk' does not make for pretty reading.I am no economist so am interested in understanding austerity and is knock on effects.
From the outside looking in it seems that as a response to the GFC it has caused no end of problems in the UK.
Australia took an opposite tactic and tried to stimulate the economy through building programs and even stimulus payments to get people spending. We seem to have bounced back from the GFC far quicker.
I have read the suggestion that austerity was also a huge driver in Brexit for the double whammy f*** up.
Still I suspect it is all the fault of the leftie wokists. Who seem to be the latest Scape goat for your born to rule overlords.
