Can't get an NHS Dentist - this is true for me, so I have gone private and now wish that I'd gone private years ago! My private dentist is so much better than my NHS dentist and my teeth are in better shape than they've ever been.
Obviously I realise that I'm lucky to be able to afford a private dentist though and I think we need to be training more NHS dentists.
Can't get an NHS doctor appointment for weeks - not true for me. I have always been able to get a same day appointment.
Unqualified teachers with huge classes and very limited resources - my kids have left school now, so maybe things have changed in the last 3 years, but my friend who works in the secondary school they went to still talks about the same teachers, all of which were qualified, and has never made a comment about large class sizes or lack of resources, so I'm going to assume it's pretty much the same as it was when my kids were there.
Roads are full of potholes - there are a few potholes but I think "full" is an exaggeration.
Reported an attempted break-in. All I got was a telephone call from an officer who knew nothing about it. No follow up. - I can believe that. I guess they're not going to spend resources on an attempted break-in. Hopefully if it was an actual break-in then they would.
The environment is littered and dirty. - it always has been. If you don't like it then get off your arse and do something about it. I take part in organised litter picks.
Shops are closing down. - some are. Others are opening. At least in my town they are. This has surely always been the way? Obviously with the advent of online shopping there are some shops that we don't need so much. Like, why would I bother to drive into town, pay four pounds to park, just to go and buy a £2 bin that I could have bought off Amazon?
High streets are just chain stores. - not true for my town there are lots of little independent shops.
Food is expensive and ultra processed is normal.- food is cheap compared to other places I've visited in the world. No one is forcing you to eat ultra-processed food, I don't.
Racist views expressed without reservation. - this is not my experience but I am white so my experience is probably not relevant here (not meant in a sarcy way).
Overt sexism everywhere.- this is always been the way, in my experience. But at least now it's not legal to rape your wife. I don't get cat called or whistled at as I walk down the street (although that could be my age!), I can't remember the last time I was groped (that also may be my age), and I'm not regularly sexually assaulted at work anymore, so actually, on reflection, I think things have got better.
Media portrayal of ageing for women as a bad thing. - surely this is a worldwide phenomenon?
Unemployment rising. - is it? I'm not saying that you're lying, I'm just not sure because I don't know anyone who's struggling to get a job.
Men telling women what it feels like to be a woman. - yeah I'm not going near this subject!
Rivers are dying and the seas are filthy. - not my experience. I live near the sea and a river and both are fine. I go on them or in them daily.
Public transport is expensive and unreliable. - I agree with this but it has always been this way in my experience.
