But watching the evening news today, paints a very grim picture of today's Britain.

the government in disarray, and out of touch,
the PM candidates, can't find their way out of a paper bag,
Utility bills set to go through the roof,
Inflation in double figures,
the economy in recession,
people having to go to food banks,
the 'heatwave'
energy companies announcing profits in the billions,
nurses leaving the NHS in their 000s,
Dentists soon to vanish as an NHS service,

If I have left anything out, feel free to add to this list.

But more importantly, what are your views?
Thanks for the replies and comments, I can see that most views are focused on the 'ah well what can any one do' variety, which does not surprise me.
My own views are different, and may be even considered argumentative.
I do believe that Britain is on a spiral to decline, and insignificance the political leadership is very poor, and self serving, the political architecture developed over several centuries is such that ordinary people find it impossible to be heard, as such the system is self sustaining and and unchanging. This will lead to decline, and more decline in the standards of living of the average person whilst the 'elite' will continue to prosper, but more importantly this small group, will call all the shots, until people wake up.!
