I have been following this thread for a long time. The UK is poor, simply put, but it has taken a long time to realize it. But the chickens are coming home to roost now. The blame is primarily the rich and immigrants. The real problem is socialism and heavy taxes, plus a denigration of entrepreneurs and business owners. They will learn, once everything has gone to utter shit


> The UK is poor, simply put

That's far too simply put

The UK has incredible wealth, it is just more concentrated than ever in a few select pockets


Yes like I said you have the socialism take and your enemy is the rich. You will learn eventually


Capitalism and socialism are both pretty effective at killing competition and rewiring the government & economy to seek extractive rents. Granted, it takes longer with capitalism.
