My first post here was 10 days ago, & the very first reply sent me down a fascinating #RabbitHole
🕳️ 🐇 to a #Britain in which #Tories push for a fairer society with a #MinimumWage & expanded #WelfareBenefits, & our most beloved novelist skewers their opponents. Relevant holiday reading?
Here's the conversation, long 🧵 - what an intro to #Fediverse!

@Tony_Meredith Thanks for drawing my attention to the relevance of #PrideAndPrejudice to #UKpolitics today. 225 years ago #Britain had a #Tory #PrimeMinister pushing for a fairer society with a #LivingIncome & an expansion of #WelfareBenefits. He was supported by many enlightened landowners but undermined by proponents of low taxes, #TrickleDownEconomics, & #charity. All astutely observed by #JaneAusten!

11 months the after an initial application for ECF legal help funding for one of my benefits case, 6 months after seeking a review, and two complaints later, I’ve finally got a positive ECF decision getting (backdated) funding. #LegalAid #WelfareBenefits #PublicLaw #LCToday
