What I am about to say may make me sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I believe there is a logic to it.
When the government put those on furlough, did everyone who received it, think they would never pay it back?
Did those who received furlough think that we have a kind and benevolent government?
For those who thought they would never have to pay back furlough, more fool you.
Everything is going up in price for a reason.
The more something costs, the more vat you have to pay.
One example is fuel, which has a fuel duty cost added to it.
Are you following me so far?
Let’s say that the government then end up getting back the money they paid out.
What then?
Do prices continue to rise?
More than likely.
What if prices then drop to pre cost of living crisis levels?
The government would then use that as a powerful election tool to keep them in power.
It would look as if they had been the ones instrumental in lowering prices and looking after the common people.
I guess this is really a double cunting.
A cunting for the engineered cost of living crisis, and a cunting for the government.
