HHHmmm. There hasn't been the sort of investment in infrastructure to keep up with maintainence let alone improvements (something like £11 billion outstanding maintenance for NHS properties alone), transports systems under unbearable pressure (adding stress to daily lives but also limiting peoples opportunities), we haven't built a reservoir in thirty years, prisons are over crowded to the point that is has had an impact on sentencing, we have crumbling public buildings (courts, schools, hospitals), not enough SN schools, delays built into the SEND system actually damaging children (mine included), increased poverty, increased destitution, not enough teachers in certain subjects, large class sizes which benefits nobody, insufficient retention of experienced teachers and medics, fewer GPs per head than many EU countries, fewer hospital beds, social care has tens of thousands of vacancies, lengthy waiting times for A&E, all sorts of crap on our beaches and in our waterways and then on top of that high living costs (property/energy/food/childcare).
You can tell me that it isnt all rosy in Germany or wherever as if that should make me feel better. It doesnt. And many of these problems began well before the Russian invasion of Ukraine (pr 2) and were predicted.
And yes, knocking off 4% off GDP and devoting bloody YEARS of Parliamentary and civil service time, money & energy to Brexit so I can have a pint of wine isn't really cutting it. I wasn't even that angry after the Referendum because I stupidly assumed that they must have had a Plan for what came next. Because what Government would embark on such a massive project without a clear idea of the path forward? If I wasn't cross then, I am pretty incandescent now.
