What are you crazy Brits doing over there? Letting the government ban "obscene" pornography is bad enough, but now that the framework for censoring the internet is in place, more could easily follow.
Somebody once told me* that the American Bill O' Rights is basically a list of shit they wanted that Britain didn't have, and right after secular government and freedom of religion they put free speech. So this is less "terrifying new development" and more "reversion to form".

So nobodies going to do shit. Things will continue as normal, like with marijuana. Noone gives a fuck. The government just doesn't like to be reminded they're failing to police the population with their weird moralistic streak, so don't like you making a big scene about doing it.

So this article is based on research from the Resolution Foundation, which has asserted that the squeeze on living standards could be worse during this Parliament than between 2010 and 2015 by a substantial amount.
While this is not solely down to Brexit, the rising inflation and uncertainty that will hit economic activity have combined with the poor wage growth and prospects what were already present to make the situation that much worse.
They're predicting 1.6% of growth, compared to 12.7% in the 2000's and around 20% for every decade previous up to the 1920s.
So, just in case anyone felt slightly optimistic today...

Critics have said the upward trend is a result of rising poverty, deep cutbacks in recent years to meals on wheels services for the elderly and inadequate social care support, especially for older people.
