I'm not sure I agree with everything in this article, but it makes some good general points about the decline of Britain.
The elites have lost interest in actually governing. They are primarily rent seeking, taking as much as they can for themselves while the nation slowly sinks.
When I was younger I thought we just had a few crap politicians, but it is deeper rooted and more systemic than that. Even the better politicians find it hard to effect any meaningful positive change.
I've lived here most of my life, and there are still things to admire about it, but my wife and I increasingly discuss leaving, even though we are now in late middle age. I am worried for my son and what the future holds.
