Fair, but you're talking about who would suffer most and I'm not sure you're right. Also not sure I really want to get into that argument just now but thank you for talking to me 🙏
If everything really goes wrong I would prefer not to be in a city I think. Personal preference
The minute the power is cut off we're all done for. Hopefully urban people can rely on their neighbours for solidarity too
Oh. It's this, isn't it. That and all the lovely money.
As someone a bit older than Will and also female this was quite clear at the time. So much pop culture of the 90s/2000s was really alienating if you could see through this stuff.
