People who actually *want* to be managers both mystify and worry me.

His "one chance in life"?? Toby Starmer could have walked into every single one of his GCSEs, scrawled a hairy cock and balls on each one and fucked off home, and he'd still do absolutely grand. He'd get sent to train as a skiing instructor or get a job with a friend's dad's company.

“But if you’re a 16-year-old trying to do your GCSEs and it’s your one chance in life – I promised him we would move somewhere, get out of the house and go somewhere where he could be peacefully studying.

There is a certain mentality, and I suspect it's one that's quite common among career politicians, that takes this stuff as its due. In their eyes, they get free stuff because they deserve it.

I'm not seeing a contradiction here.

Well it certainly doesn't happen in the UK. I don't think it's a coincidence that prices tend to peak on days when many low-income people, who've been putting off filling up because they're broke and now have a near dry tank, get paid. That and immediately before public holidays.

Yeah, but isn't that coming off a historically low base? So perhaps not so surprising, even if still disappointing.

Yeah, but then they introduced the Avanti, which, while it didn't save them, was a pretty decent effort.
