Is that really the most important point about this? 18.2% is mental. But I do agree, how does anyone not use spellczecher nowadays

For a second I suspected the author may have been German as the month is literally called Februar in German. Alas that doesn't seem to be the case.

As someone who doesn't live in the UK, the impression I get from headlines is that the UK is becoming poorer by the day, the NHS has collapsed, crime is exploding, poverty is rising, most people can't afford anything anymore, the Royal Mail is hanging by a thread, and the economy is in free fall.

What's the reality? In London and outside?
