    I feel… and hear me out… you’re taking this opinion piece too seriously. Read it like you’d read a Spectator article (and I very much appreciate you might read the Spectator). These are meant to be tongue in cheek. They’re not meant to be taken seriously or over analysed.

    Could you imagine being this put out about the guardian opinion pieces?

      Right but they raised the very important point that the article is basically complaining about a bunch of people not being considered working when they are working and are considered working people.

      They’re literally complaining about nothing

        I never saw the article as anything more than a sarcastic opinion piece. They’re not calling on the chancellor to reverse the budget. They’re not pointing to business opposition. They’re not saying anything but haven’t an armchair moan in, what looks like to me, a light-hearted opinion piece.

        But fair enough if others see it differently. I certainly didn’t.
