AIBU to think our illustrious leaders should hang their heads in shame?

[twofingerstoEverything]

We have:

massive wealth inequality, despite being one of the wealthiest countries in the world;
food banks, despite being one of the wealthiest countries in the world;
long NHS waiting lists, despite being one of the wealthiest countries in the world;
social care crisis, despite being one of the wealthiest countries in the world;
a could-do-better education system, despite being one of the wealthiest countries in the world;
a housing crisis, despite being one of the wealthiest countries in the world;
household debt levels worse than ever, despite being one of the wealthiest countries in the world;
and then there’s the omnishambles that is Brexit.

Feel free to add your own!

No to the first person to say 'Yeah, but Labour etc...' I am not a Corbyn fan (before you go down that road) and Labour have been out of power for almost a decade, so let's concentrate on the current shit-show, eh?

Well I'm sure it's a simple solution considering we are one of the wealthiest countries in the world.

I'm sure every other wealthy country is not experiencing any problems either and its just our shit show of a government (not that I disagree with that).

The situation is far more complex than muh Tories!!! even though they are shite, we still havent shaken out the deadwood from the Global financial crash, and pretty much most of the western world is limping on.

So yeah, its shite, but there is not a magic wand as you can pick holes in every other of the wealthy nations.

Disabled people are suffering despite living in one of the wealthiest countries of the world.
