In Russia there is a popular family of conspiracy theories where UK is the driving force behind most events of the last 100 years, including rise and fall of the USSR.
If so, it doesn't look like UK is able to extract much for its own citizens from said world domination.
- leaveyou 12y agoThe UK middle and upper classes are doing fine (although the castle development sector has slumped this century). The UK poor on the other hand, yes, they fail to extract enough welfare in order to keep up with the new middle class of landlords.
- guard-of-terra 12y agoHaving poor classes is a decision. Some countries choose to avoid keeping people poor.
- twic 12y agoI'm not sure i'd say the middle class is doing fine. The older part of the middle class is largely okay. The junior division, though - anyone who doesn't already have a house and a good pension - has a pretty bleak outlook. Unless they're making Google/stockbroker money, or live in the North. The working class certainly have it much worse, though.
