Winkie - agree completely; sadly we are a country in massive decline. Every country had it's day. The Roman Empire, Egyptians, British empire...
Since the privatization of the financial markets we have seen rampant corruption & fraud in the UK with the countries structure & design of the legal system to attract the very worse of the world with it's money-laundering structure/ loopholes. None of which has been retributed. The govt focused on the short-buck - rewarding rent-seeking behaviour (not a long-term benefit).
Brexit happened because the people were tired of under-reported immigration statistics & feeling out of place in their own country. I'm not racist btw; this is the simple fact. That is what the people wanted from Brexit. The politicians want immigrants because it lowers wages & increases the benefit to corporations whilst depreciating worker's wages. This will upset some here but this is simple Economics 101. People arriving in the UK hours not contributing anything to the NHS & benefiting of hundreds of thousands of free healthcare & they wonder why the NHS is so expensive.
Yet they continue to depreciate the quality of life in the UK by over-populating. Nature-Deprivation & rampant anti-social behaviour, not to mention working long-hard hours for pittance is all contributing to depression & a declining quality of life with almost the worst in all of Europe.
