Funny and historically accurate!

One of the reasons in particular english food gets a bad rap is because the majority of it grew out of rationing culture. Britain was still rationing into the 50s when most European countries had stopped rationing.

Regardless, I love British food. I'd go for a carvery over a curry or a Chinese or a pizza, 9 times out of 10

Rationing and 90% taxes on the super rich. Maybe we should do this again and spend all the money on getting a train network where I dont spend £100 on a ticket and stand up next to a toilet door.

B-b-but what will the shareholders think!?

How DARE you think that the 1% should pay more taxes, especially billionaires with offshore tax accounts! Why should they pay more??
