If someone has £10 left after paying their bills and they dare spend it on something they enjoy, like say a Netflix subscription, that one indulgence is not the cause of their poverty. Please stop telling poor people they're not allowed to have even the tiniest of nice things.

Have you noticed how whenever the country is in a crisis, the working class are always asked to go without? We could easily ask the rich to pay their way, but instead, you must have a cold house in winter so they can keep getting richer. The entire system is a massive scam.
