Previously in the UK: People Can’t Afford Christmas Gifts
It’s fine. It’s just like the 1970s.

Millions of low-income households in Britain will receive cost-of-living support from the government of up to 900 pounds ($1,084) over the financial year, the country’s Department of Work and Pensions said on Tuesday.

The cash support was announced by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt in his Autumn statement along with a string of tax increases and tighter public spending. The government did not give details on the payment schedule at the time.
There will also be a separate 150 pounds for more than six million disabled people and 300 pounds for over eight million pensioners, the department said.
