> Organisations, political parties, etc talk a good game when it comes to “support” or “mental health” or “community” but when the shit hits the fan, they’re all faceless organisations. Morally bankrupt and full of equality adverts and slogans. Yup, that's the UK. Nothing in this country works anymore. People think it does until they have a problem and then they find everything is just a facade. Need to call an ambulance? Emergency service will tell you to take an uber. Been victim of a crime? Police will do their best to make you go away. Victim of a fraud? It was your fault go away. and so on. and you pay for all of it highest taxes in living memory. Sorry for the rant. Elections can't come soon enough.

That's not true my understanding is that the UK police are the best in the world at making sure you are tracked down and punished if you say something unflattering about someone on the internet, or if you happen to be walking around with a chisel, or god-forbid a pocket knife. And then from what I've heard the NHS is the best run health care system in the world[1]. 1. Best run according to this documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-5zEb1oS9A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-5zEb1oS9A

> Sorry for the rant. Elections can't come soon enough. I am sorry but British history says that regardless of how Labour polls today, on election day you’ll still end up with Tories. Or, alternatively, new new Labour for a couple of years and then Tories. That’s pretty much British politics for as long as there has been a UK.

  And that explains where British politics and civilization is headed: regulatory capture, chaos, and dysfunction moving towards a conservative utopia because of a feckless left.

  The sad thing is that you are correct.
