Britain seems like such a crazy dystopia these days.
cameras everywhere, immigration overwhelming natives in certain neighborhoods, ASBOs, some of the highest rent prices in the world, average economy.
how are middle class britons doing?
- orf 2y agoEh, not bad. Don’t believe everything you read online.
- tim333 2y agoYeah we have a very active tabloid press that rather amplifies the bad stuff. It does not too bad on many rankings eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_inequality-adjusted_Human_Development_Index https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_inequalit...

- jmholla 2y ago> Less cameras per-capita than the US. I think comparison to density with regards to land mass and not number of people would be a more relevant comparison.
- olddustytrail 2y agoNo it wouldn't.
- vfclists 2y agoASBOs still exist. They have just been given a different name. Do your homework. How about the IPP prison sentences which still exist.
- tonyedgecombe 2y ago>ASBOs still exist. They have just been given a different name. Well how about using the correct name then? >How about the IPP prison sentences which still exist. Ended in 2012: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprisonment_for_public_protection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprisonment_for_public_protec... >Do your homework. Good advice, perhaps you should take it.
- vfclists 2y agoHow about the 3000 people still serving under them? Are we going to wait another 10 years so it can turn into a media hogging scandal like the Post Office affair? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/ipp-sentence-james-lawrence-torment-b2619658.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/ipp-sentence-jam... I'm sure if you can find out that IPPs were abolished in 2012 you can find out the new name ASBOs are masquerading under.
- tonyedgecombe 2y ago>I'm sure if you can find out that IPPs were abolished in 2012 you can find out the new name ASBOs are masquerading under. I'm not here to correct your misleading posts. I will bring attention to them though.
- the_real_cher 2y agoI'm not from there so sorry I'm behind on some of this stuff. It does look like on the wiki they were abolished however they were replaced by something else? I don't know enough about it. The idea of an ASBO when I read about it sounded insane abuse of power to me. ""ASBOs were replaced in England and Wales by the civil injunctions and criminal behaviour orders"'
- naming_the_user 2y agoYou need to define middle class properly in order to answer this question. Actual middle class Brits who own property - fairly decently. There are some headwinds with regards to things like energy prices etc but it's mostly fine. "Middle class" Brits e.g. sons and daughters of the middle class who are renting (often sharing), not so great. It's relatively difficult to buy nowadays because we stopped building.

- alextingle 2y agoI think you watch too much far-right nonsense on YouTube.
