Funny you should post this. I was just having a conversation about this very saying with my hubby the other day. It's a common BS narrative trotted out by the "ruling class". I moved to the UK during the David Cameron austerity years and it was so in your face! ð He said it all the time. Total BS of course. I'll read the article later, although it may wind me up! hehe Thanks for posting
Since America never even pretends to do austerity, this "We're all in it together." line mostly resonates from covid, when everyone was locked in their house, while the ruling class were still going out to fancy dinners and parties, having enormous funerals, etc.

yeah they use it for so much. They did that it the UK as well, I think it was called partygate or something. But the prime minister at the time used a lot this kind of war propaganda type of speak (he thinks he's some sort of Winston Churchill ð). Now they're having some sort of "covid inquiry" which I haven't been following but, as far as I can make out, it consists of them doubling down and saying yeah we were right to lock everyone up and we should have been more strict ðĪŠ

That sounds like the Canadian response, too. Our public covid inquiries haven't gotten very far, but I understand people are winning tons of lawsuits over all the covid stuff.
Didn't one of the big UK science people get caught sneaking out of lockdown to visit his mistress?

Oh yes, you're right. That was Neil Ferguson whose dodgy covid modelling (the code that apparently Bill Gates/Microsoft had to doctor up to make look somewhere remotely credible) was used to justify locking up large swathes of the world's population.
