Interesting take, I was having a conversation the other week where I reused a fun line from the Expeditionary Force books: “Britain: striving for mediocrity” People are run down, fed up and have no idea what to do about it because as a nation we have culturally been conditioned (over generations) to accept our lot. Striving for better (not just individually but societally) is sneered at and things going badly is shrugged at as the norm. I sometimes feel we have this idea that the the UK is feature complete. Any new infra project is protested, new initiatives to try to improve things are eye rolled at - even talking about new ideas leads to back lash. I honestly don’t think it’s some top down grand plan for control, I think it’s just incompetence, lack of leadership and fear of the above points. So yeh, heads down, carry on and hope for the best (well, hope for “not too bad” really).
