Is Britain going to the dogs
I am not sure where to post this, so forgive me for just posting here!.
But watching the evening news today, paints a very grim picture of today's Britain. The NHS is in dire trouble, 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? |

It's the same everywhere else.
I can think of two countries I would choose to live in. 1. The United Kingdom. 2. Great Britain. |

Anywhere in Europe for me, fed up with the excuses for all that is broken or on the verge of it. The current mess has been writ large since 2016, we relied on persons with little or no ability to make something of a devisive decision which has little or no chance of delivering on the half baked promises which were trotted out to support the arguement. Not holding my breath for any improvements in my lifetime , pity the generations that have to pick up the pieces.....

Mac cheer up, obviously all those people coming illegally and legally to live here know more than the media "prophets of doom" so maybe it will be ok after all. Chris.S.

Too many people on these islands for our overwhelmed infrastructure to support.NHS,housing transport etc cannot be expected to cope with demand.We are a victim of our own success to some extent.

Think the whole world is in a bit of a strange place at the moment!!
Over here in Australia we have a country with lot of natural recourses,plenty of gas,oil minerals , food , space but there are massive staff shortages, cost of living going up on everything, cant get a house built, no trades. We now have a new govt that is making everyone pay for their social conscience and this brave new environmental world being imposed on us all even though no one can actually provide any proof or facts that its all going to work. Lemming's running over the cliffs edge !! |
