I left the U.K. 30 years ago, to come and reside in Thailand with my wife and her family. Financially, we do not live a rich life, but we live a happy life. My main reason for moving to Thailand was the cost of living in England was becoming to expensive. People criticized Margaret Thatcher and forced her out of office, but since she was Prime Minister there hasn't been a successful P.M. In my opinion the country has gone steadily downhill and will not see any sign of recovering for at least another decade, if it can recover at all, but with Rishi & Company, who happens to be a multi-millionaire, as is Boris Johnson. I have a question for any readers including Jim Power & Chris Johns:- How can a person, who doesn't know the meaning of hunger, or to be cold because their parents can't afford to heat the house they live in, possibly understand what the working class have to endure.
I've never been hungry but grew up in a household where there was too much money left at the end of the month. So I kind of get where you are coming from. Personal experience is important. Take a listen to The Newsagents pod from last Thursday with Lewis Goodall.
I take your point Guys. But then I hear Rishi stating to the house of commons, that he expects, Paramedics and ambulance workers to keep working, regardless of their appalling working conditions, and the low pay they receive. When he was asked if he had private health care or used the NHS he wouldn't answer the question. To my mind, he is a coward.

Great pod, as usual, and looking forward to Chris Grey - his somewhat despairing and despondent Brexit newsletter is essential reading.
Thanks Shane - yes, we are looking forward to the conversation
