You live in your reality mate-I'll live in mine.

Just a word of advice-dont let your kids swim in the rivers near you-or am I making it up?

Problem is the one I live in is the one the rest of the population does, yours might be a small percentage of the population usually kept away from civilization with padded rooms and lots of white linen.

Mindlessly poor response-dont get ill,dont get old,dont need a carer,walk the streets with your blinkers fixed and all will be well in your vision of a Country punching above its weight-soz,I should have said 'World-beating'.🤭

We can't all run around like chicken little tho, which is pretty much your soviet style view of the world.

The difference in scary, and it's going to be a total shitshow when the two worlds eventually collide.

I just can't fathom how our collective existence can be viewed through two such different lenses.

No-you're right-I'm wrong,we now have more foodbanks than McDonald's branches-truly World-beating stats,silly of me to refer back to those halcyon days where you could see a Doctor,get Dental treatment in a timely fashion,not wait in casualty for 6 odd hours.Silly me......

Likewise-but it is what it is-Sadly,I cant twist reality,Our Country is truly a shitshow-all public services deliberately hollowed out,the n.h.s deliberately brought to its knees-because the tory piggies with their snouts in the private insurance sector want the nhs GONE.Shoplifting at record highs because people cant afford to eat and warm their homes.WORKING people-and just to assuage the usual (bloody benefit layabouts ) crew on here,these people ARE working-hard but on shite minimum wages with no guarantees about forthcoming hours-how in God's name can you work out how to live for the next couple of weeks when you have no idea what your income will be.Also,irrespective of your political opinions,how on Earth can ANY responsible financial institution commit to lending money to people like this who have no security of hours/work?Even if you're an arch capitalist-this uncertainty is KILLING our economy.Personal loans/Mortgages/car loans DRIVE our economy.But you simply cant loan money to a generation who have zero security.When you think it through-its way beyond stupid......

And again,think about the economic consequences of my last post-we've basically put a huge handbrake on any future gdp growth.We make very little, we're basically a service  economy now.V.little manufacturing happens compared to say,20 odd years ago.Lots of lovely shiny Electric cars about-all chinese.No giga battery production here-cheers brexiteers! Virtually all our public utilities/airports/R.Mail! Etc are owned by foreign hedge funds/owners.So all profits are being funnelled out into tax havens.In London all the valuable real estate has been bought up by 'interesting' foreign owners-Russian oligarchs/sheikhs etc.
