While every ordinary person in this country is feeling the effects of this massive drop in living standards and are crying out for some sort of relief, our lords and masters tell us there is no money tree and we will just have to suffer until the economy grows. No money for hospitals, social services, education, no money for the homeless, but it can find money to support the war in Ukraine. The UK is giving £2.5 billion in military aid and £1.5 billion in economic aid to Ukraine. Where is that money coming from? Most of it is coming from government departments "under-spend", no questions of why so much money was not spent by government departments when everybody in the country is calling out for support. This flow of money to Ukraine was also supplemented by robbing the Scottish and Welsh governments budgets to the tune of £95 million. Complaints by those two governments were met with, "these are exceptional times". They are also exceptional times for every ordinary person in this country, but that can be ignored as the UK try hard to look like a big imperial power, in this imperialist struggle for the survival of the supremacy of the Western imperialist world domination. Make no mistake, the Western powers will keep this fight going until the last Ukraine is dead, and if it looks like they might lose, then they will eagerly sacrifice the European population in their desire for world dominance.
They are trying to create the illusion that it is Ukraine that is fighting this war, utter bullshit. Ukraine may be supplying the cannon fodder, but the West is supplying the fire power and backing it up with more and more, highly destructive weapons.
