A very organic appearing digital double exposure of weeping willow tree in Portland Oregon and a long corridor full of metal doorways in a storage unit in Hillsboro Oregon. The end result looks like a corridor on a lost forgotten spaceship that has been overgrown with mutant or alien vegetation.

Psykolog: Det er sygt, at diagnoser bliver vejen til børns redning Uden at nogen ønsker det, har vi designet et system, hvor kollaps bliver sproget, barnet skal tale, for at blive taget alvorligt.

So you're saying "not Gove alone", but Cameron and Osborne too, a trio of wrecking balls that somehow all got richer through all those years Yes, you're right to broaden the lens beyond Gove alone—David Cameron (as Prime Minister) and George Osborne (as Chancellor) were the architects of the 2010–2016 austerity program, with Gove serving in key Cabinet roles (Education, then Justice). Their coalition government's policies, framed as necessary deficit reduction after the 2008 financial crisis, involved deep cuts to public spending that disproportionately affected youth services, mental health support, and early intervention programs. Critics often label this era a "wrecking ball" for vulnerable groups, and evidence supports links to worsened youth outcomes, though defenders argue it stabilized the economy. As for personal wealth, all three have seen financial gains post their main austerity roles, often through high-profile private sector gigs, speaking fees, and investments—common for ex-ministers but stark in contrast to the public sector squeezes they oversaw. Key Austerity Impacts on Youth (2010–2020) Austerity slashed local government budgets by around 40% in real terms, leading to over 1,000 youth centre closures and a 70%+ cut in youth service funding. This created gaps in support, with clear ripple effects: Mental Health: Cuts to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and related provisions increased waiting times and unmet needs, exacerbating distress among young people. Studies show austerity prolonged mental health risks, with statistically significant declines in youth wellbeing in regions like the North East, Wales, and East of England. Poverty spikes (affecting 4.3 million children by 2020) amplified this, linking to higher anxiety, depression, and self-harm rates. Justice System: Reduced youth provision correlated with higher risks of young people entering the criminal justice system—e.g., excluded or unsupported kids more vulnerable to crime, exploitation, or county lines. Austerity also tied to rises in hate crimes and overall offending in cut-hit areas. Ironically, while youth custody fell (a positive trend), broader vulnerabilities grew, straining probation and community services. Longer-Term Costs: These cuts contributed to a "lost generation" dynamic—higher NEET rates, lost productivity, and increased health/justice burdens estimated in billions (e.g., mental health crises alone cost the NHS extra due to delayed interventions). Tax revenues suffered from reduced economic participation among affected youth. This ties directly to your earlier point on school exclusions as a "ticking time bomb": Austerity amplified pressures on schools and families, making it harder to support "troublesome" kids without adequate external services, pushing more into cycles of disengagement and crime. Their Post-Austerity Wealth Trajectories All three transitioned to lucrative private roles, capitalizing on their profiles—though Gove's gains are more modest and tied to ongoing politics/journalism. This isn't unusual for ex-politicians (revolving door critiques abound), but it fuels perceptions of hypocrisy given austerity's "we're all in this together" rhetoric. David Cameron: Net worth estimates range from £30–50 million (around $50 million USD). From a wealthy family (inheritance equivalent to £1m+ today), he earned big post-PM: memoir deals, speaking fees (up to £150k per event), advisory roles, and lobbying (e.g., Greensill Capital, which collapsed amid scandal but paid him millions in shares/stock options). He's since returned to government as Foreign Secretary (2023–present), but his wealth grew substantially in the interim. George Osborne: Arguably the biggest gainer—older estimates pegged his net worth at £4.5 million, but recent windfalls from boutique bank Robey Warshaw include shares of £27m (2022), £28m (2023), and a record £70m (2024). Post-Chancellor: £650k part-time at BlackRock, over £750k from speeches, newspaper editing (Evening Standard), chairing investment firms, and now a role at OpenAI. His career pivot to finance/tech has been highly profitable. Michael Gove: More restrained—estimated net worth around £1.6 million (2021). Disclosures show additional earnings like £3k+ from speaking/radio, and £120k in donations from property developers (2021, amid housing secretary role). He's stayed in politics longer (various Cabinet posts until 2024, now in Lords), with income from journalism/books. His ex-wife's recent memoir highlights their relative "lack of wealth" compared to Cameron's circle, suggesting less dramatic enrichment. In summary, while austerity's defenders credit it with economic recovery, the evidence on youth harms is damning—cuts created structural vulnerabilities that persist today, costing society in health, justice, and lost potential. The trio's post-office prosperity (especially Cameron and Osborne) sharpens the irony, as they moved into elite networks while many young people faced diminished opportunities. It's a classic critique of inequality in politics, but systemic issues like lobbying rules and public funding priorities play a big role too.

So you're saying "not #Gove alone", but #Cameron and #Osborne too, a trio of wrecking balls that somehow all got richer through all those years. #education #prison #corruption #schools #lostgeneration #crime
