I would say a blend of consumption, greed and media styles have contributed strongly to the state of the nation. Couple that with the on going digital revolution and the crazy relentless quest of our housing market. The breakdown of family culture influenced by all of the above If you would like direct comparisons? Then I will have a go after I am out of the hospital where I find myself today again getting brilliant treatment
My biggest beef is that we have created a culture of entitlement amongst too many people. There are, of course, myriad reasons for the ****tiness of things and there are answers to be found in the thoughts of the Left and the Right, as well as blame to be attributed. I believe that you underestimate the resourcefulness and determination of the plucky Brit, though, and that this nation will rediscover a lot of its long-dormant mojo after Brexit. Of course, there will be some pain initially - to think otherwise would be ridiculous - and we have to have in place to means to help those most adversely impacted - but it believe it nonetheless.
What happened to two MPs? It is, of course, the Nambies, SNP and so forth where the majority of the Remainers are.
Probably a few seconds after the dinosaurs died and the ice age, and even then would probably move himself to France or Germany because they had nice cheese and wine and considered us as imperialistic and snobbish and washed up and useless ‘cause we were no longer attached to the European land mass.
Try looking at town and county mice I would say but can’t argue with the facts. By the way The blucky Brit is programmed to look after his own castle imo hence my non faith in your view ... in fact I see that as wide of the mark in terms of reality. In short we got fat and lazy then self obsessed... long way back for a divided country.
The blucky (sic) Frenchman, I would argue, considers his ‘castle’ to extend to any European law not to his liking. Frankly, I wish the blucky Brit had half the Frog chutzpah.
Let’s have a new law that if any elected government fails to implement any of its key manifesto pledges within 3 years the result of the General Election is overturned and the Nambies are allowed to form a coalition with the Greens. No, wait! You lefties would love it.
In all fairness, theres a few in my family and extended family that will be affected by our loss of free movement to the 27 other EU countries.
Well I have found unity over 30 years or more that if the French don’t like something they unite pretty quickly. I think the difference is they haven’t forgotten that political representatives work for them. Downside to that is that the political establishment also know that so you get a lot of red tape. Sadly to me anyway I don’t see the same unity in the UK as I believe culturally we all seem to know best and large collective unity in the UK isn’t was it used to be imo. Maybe it’s a result of the unions being stripped of power? I know not but I must state there is a difference.
