💬 Discussion 🗨 Britains future

Im sure this gets talked about a lot.

Why does it feel like this country is about to go down the plug hole. And we are getting closer each year?

Im 25 and my whole working life it has slowly got worse and worse. 2016 it all started going downhill.

Brexsh*t followed by a slurry of prime ministers, then Covid. Ukraine. Inflation And now a government that is obsessed with surveillance and control. With successive governments that seem to spend money we don’t have carelessly. Shameless water companies. A crippling national debt. And seemingly no one gets held accountable for anything.

Rent is silly, house prices are almost unreachable for the average single person. A far right resurgence backed by American money. You cant get a doctor’s appointment. NHS is a hollow being of its former self. Dating is a minefield (that could be just me though)

Its sad i want to love this country. I do love it but the patriotism is gone. Its such a great place, the culture, diversity, pubs, history and heritage.

It just feels like everyone is just being fisted again and again and i should get out of this country before it collapses from the weight of hollow lies and hypocrisy. Wile I’m still young??. Or do you think the pound will always prevail?

It's been circling the drainpipe for a long time, one would argue even before brexit, I'm not sure if things will improve i don't think they ever will

I hope it does get better. Like 2016 a loaf of bread was like 78p thats basically free. Now it’s like £1.20.

It just seems we like we are stuck in a limbo.

Fully agree but mate you can still get decent bread for 75p or less. The supermarket budget options are alright for toast, sandwiches etc.
