Holiday Car Wash Club: Fill & Download for Free

Anecdotally…Let’s talk about Britain as a whole, not just the middle class.Visit any airport departure lounge. It will be full of people of all classes going on foreign holidays. Both short breaks and extended vacations.Visit a restaurant on Friday night, or at the weekend. Unless it is terrible it will be packed with people having a good time. And there are a *lot* of restaurants in the UK. Likewise the numerous pubs that serve good food these days.Travel on a motorway. You will see a huge number of gleaming cars travelling at an average speed well above the limit of 70mph (unless the motorway is so congested with gleaming vehicles as to keep speeds down). The owners evidently aren’t so concerned about money as to keep their speed down at the most economical level.Look around in any town. Nearly everyone has a smartphone. Even pre-teen children, quite often. These phones and airtime subscriptions are not cheap.Drive around any housing estate, be it workers houses or leafy middle-class suburbs; half the houses either have satellite TV or a cable SKY subscription.Observe the hand car washes everywhere. Loads of people can evidently afford to pay someone else to hand-wash their car.Observe the tens of thousands of coffee shops. Loads of people can evidently afford to pay £10 for a couple to have a coffee and snack each, or more like £25 if a family has a mid-morning stop there.And so on. Sporting clubs, riding stables, football clubs selling season tickets at eye-watering prices with every seat taken, bike riders on hugely expensive machines, kids doing paid activity clubs, etc etc etc.Yes of course there are some poor people at the bottom of the pile. No society is perfect. It will always be thus, in any society. Most poor people in the UK enjoy a standard of living that would be the envy of most people in the world at any time in history. Free healthcare, higher education on loan that only has to be paid back if the borrower does well financially in their life, a welfare safety net (which is imperfect, of course, because it is designed and administered by human beings), a charitable safety net, and so on.

The best way to answer this is to actually see the lies that have been published (with the tacit encouragement of many politicians) by the tabloids over the years. Many of these lies were even made up by our politicians, and it is a common, cheap tactic to deflect attention away from the ineptitude of successive UK governments.In short, the EU is being blamed by the tabloid media for the deprivations the UK government itself inflicts on underprivileged communities in large swaths of the country. The Tories even think food banks are worthy of UK citizens, and a government minister has even suggested that people should be scavenging from rubbish landfill sites. Seriously. Can the UK excel at the sport of "gold diving" in rubbish dumps after Brexit?Anyway, here is a list of tabloid lies about the EU (up to 2017), and you can click on each lie to learn the truth:A-Z
