And if you do encourage WFH you don’t reduce footfall for town / city centre small business and hospitality if redundant office space is converted to residential space!

Yes I did mean this one. But yeah I’m sure you could find many more if the media put as much effort into taking down Farage as they did with Rayner!

I also feel some of the beer price comparisons are a little disingenuous

What is better value? A 3.2% pint of Carling for £3.50 in a small town or a highly hopped 2/3 pint of 7.3% IPA for £7 in a major city?

A separate but relevant point is cynicism is one of the traits Brits should be rightly proud of!
