I'm afraid there is a sense of anger about the fact that very rich people are doing well out of the economic crisis we're facing. This whole policy is basically for them, as far as I can tell. How is this not just taking money from the British people and just giving it to 1%? You start to think that maybe they're doing on purpose. Is it daylight robbery? Is that what's going on? I don't know. Maybe I'm speculating. But when the policy is clearly, just take the country's money and give it to a bunch of bankers or let a small percentage of people working in finance take all of the money away.
My dad returns to talk more about UK politics, this time describing the disastrous economic policy of Liz Truss and her Chancellor (finance minister) Kwasi Kwarteng. Advanced level English listening practice - this is complicated stuff, but keep listening to develop your English skills and learn about what's going on in UK politics and current affairs.
