10 years ago the UK had a AAA credit rating.

[JohnStuartMill]

10 years ago the UK had a AAA credit rating. The UK had been in the top tier of economies (similar to Australia, Canada, Germany, The Netherlands, Singapore) since 1978.

In 2013, our credit rating was downgraded and our cost of borrowing increased. Cuts in public spending were required.

In 2022, the UK's credit rating has been further reduced to a third or fourth tier economy with a credit rating on a par with the Czech republic. This is all down to Liz Truss and her unfunded tax cuts for the rich.

The increase in borrrowing costs means further cuts in public spending are required.

AIBU to think the Tories should be taken out and shot for treason for the mess they have made with our country?

It's always genuinely inclusive. Like when people speak loudly and slowly. Yup.
Always just genuinely care ♥️

For future reference this is not “inclusive”, it is insulting and condescending

Sorry but unless English is not your mother tongue, it’s not difficult to gauge tone at all as that phrase is a very well known figure of speech! It’s hyperbolic and metaphorical. It means that you strongly disapprove of someone or their actions.

And so is this
them not potentially understanding metaphor or hyperbole
Why? Because every language has metaphor and hyperbole. Doesn’t matter what language you speak, you understand metaphor and hyperbole.

As was your long list of non-comparable phrases and telling me to “upbraid” anyone who uses them.

I know right? My DH is an immigrant and I see the way he is treated and condescended to all the time. The “you mean blah” to pointedly criticise his pronunciation of the word blah which was pronounced perfectly correctly but merely lacked a British accent.

No, FelicityFlops, it's a AAA rating.
