Is the UK about to collapse?

[Penfield]

Sorry - There was probably a better way to put this.

Does anyone else have a feeling that we are close to some collapse, explosion, disintegration of society ...

With gas prices, petrol shortages, inflation, Brexit fall out, Covid, gaslighting government etc

I feel like we're on the edge of something - big ...

The only stats that are comparable internationally really are hospitalisations/ capita (between developed countries) and deaths/ capita for all countries.

I think better comparison is between countries excess mortality rates.

God, I’d love that tax policy. Seems completely fair to me. And to make it even fairer I’d say that Leavers should get first dibs on all the Brexit benefits, but they should also have to pay the Brexit costs.

Absolutely. They can have100% of 0% of benefits, and they should receive 100% of the mythical benefits they believe will one day exist, when the sky is full of flying pigs and we create a new industry farming unicorns.

Not really, because again this assumes no confounding factors.
