"Brits ‘need to accept’ they’re worse off and stop pushing wages and prices higher" says the typical clueless graduate who hasn't got one single thing right since being Chief Econ at BoE.
This is a disaster you've been a master for, and now you're trying to put even more misery on everyone else.
Cut your salary in half first!
Actually no. As a despicable Roy Logan would say, but I feel right to say it myself now: Fuck Off!

Very conversation on the train back to London.

Student 1: “It’s pretty obvious Oxford is Jedi and Cambridge is Sith.”
Student 2: “How so?”
Student 1: “Just think about it: Oxford - a vaccine that’s saved millions; Cambridge - Analytica and wilful misuse of data.”
Student 2 is silent and “thinks about it”
Student 2: “So you’re saying in the next Star Wars spin off, Johnson, Truss, Raab, Sunak, Davey, Starmer and Rees-Mogg are all Jedi?”

Three Guineas🔊

'...psychologically eminence upon a platform encourages vanity and the
desire to impose authority. Further, the reduction of English literature to an
examination subject must be viewed with suspicion by all who […] wish to
keep one art at least out of the hands of middlemen and free, as long as may
be, from all association with competition and money making.' (TG 379)
