"The Backs The Books Are Balanced On"

Austerity has become a key topic of interest for me since starting university, and it's appalling to consider the hundreds of thousands of deaths it has contributed to, and the lives it has destroyed to save a quick buck and not pull the country out of debt. Tapping into the UK's anti-austerity movement and cost-of-living crisis, I decided to show people what 'balancing the books' effectively means. It's not healthy, and those backs are soon to break unless people stand up and demand proper change. The consensus on austerity must end.
