Commercial imperatives have colonized every remaining space of conviviality in England

Evidence

England is a country in which every last space where conviviality might flourish has been colonised by a commercial imperative… supermarket check-out operatives replaced by crap robots… unexpected item in bagging area… every surface plastered with corporate graffiti and haranguing hashtags… no trick missed to screw every last penny out of people… exorbitant parking charges in NHS hospitals (exact amount only, no change given), all the profits going to private providers… — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 1845

Categorization

• XREF: Connects to the reader’s interest in small structural cruelties and the ‘exact amount only, no change given’ as a petty-state doubling of private extraction.
• FICTION: Fuel for a scene of a dying England where all warmth has been priced and machine-guarded — a mood anchor for dystopia.
