I doubt very much that, in real life, you are as much of a selfish a-hole as the online image you so carefully cultivate.
But it gets the responses you enjoy so it's probably working for you.
Oh no!! Brexit not going quite as well as hoped

Well they wouldn't be running around like blue arsed flies for little money would they?

Bit late to the party pal?
It's been established already it's not a 'Crappy' job but the wages and work load that makes it less desirable.
Keep up!

Can you explain what you think the Tories afforded me?
I was part of a DB scheme as an employee from 10/78 to 11/13 when I was made redundant and got early pension. Pension in payment effective 12/2013.
By that time the Tories had eviscerated the Civil Service Compensation scheme and I got far less than I would have before.
I don't understand the bit about ' how do you know it wouldn't have been even more expensive' bit either.

You were blathering on about how much better my wife's DB NHS pension was so yours must be the same or better? (I must admit I'd lost interest at that point)
The remark about it being worse refers to you saying we were promised cheaper something or other after Brexit, so how do we know it may not have been more expensive if still in the EU?

IIRC you were giving one of our younger members who had their retirement plans beggared by Brexit a lecture on pensions. I simply pointed out that the final salary pensions your wife and I have are not available to those still in early/mid career. Colleagues a few years younger than me are on career average and cannot claim that until 67.
I still don't understand why I should be grateful to the Tories for what I'm getting.

We can do a direct price comparison with our European neighbours, see what they're paying .
It's not that hard.
As it is, UK energy prices have risen along with those in the EU .
But UK prices have risen more sharply, but that may be for reasons outside of brexit at the moment
However in the future being outside the EU may cause problems, or extra price increases.

"" What is the Internal Energy Market?
Even if the present energy crisis is not a Brexit issue, the place of Great Britain outside the single energy market might still cause problems in the future (Northern Ireland remains connected to the Internal Energy Market as it is part of a separate Single Electricity Market with the Republic of Ireland).
The Internal Energy Market, created in 1996, was intended to disrupt the monopolies in energy and gas markets in many EU and EEA countries by increasing competition and thus reducing prices for consumers. Over time legislation widened its scope: it now allows for the sharing of energy supplies between EU and EEA member states."
