Buying 'new' clothes doesn't have to be hard on the wallet and the environment...

"Second-hand sites such as Vinted, Depop and Ebay, and charity shops often have brand-new, still-tagged clothing for sale at rock bottom prices. These items could be from online orders where the return date was missed, or people just deciding they no longer want an unworn item."

A simple blog about privacy, security, open source, software engineering, and tech in general.

This morning’s ONS GDP data shows that the economy is stagnant. That is unsurprising. The government wishes to squeeze the life out of people’s spending power. It is succeeding in doing so. Of course this is the result.
What Truss got wrong https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/02/05/what-truss-got-wrong/.
Truss was right about one other thing in the essay published today: this country does face an enormous economic threat that the status quo is entirely unwilling to address. What she got wrong was thinking that her fantasy right-wing world offered any such alternative.
The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?

I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious.

An educated citizenry won't be bamboozled by political parties that talk about balanced budgets.
