I don't like the UK

I don't hate it but I don't like it either. I think this country is boring and pathetic. There is virtually nothing interesting to do in this country and people vote in poliiticians who make our lives wors.e

  • The few really decent politicians get hounded out by the ones who are into shady things as the decent ones that uphold good standards make the others stand out and they don't like it.  

    People blame the party in power at the time for decisions they don't like but has anyone blamed the opposition parties for letting the party in power get away with things? Is all party parliaments that we have in the UK so it is the collective vote, so one can't blame the party in power as all party politicians played their parts in these votes! People forget that a single party in power is outnumbered by at least 2 or 3 to 1 by their competition parties, and also that the MP's voting in the party in power don't all agree so not all vote for the thing being proposed. 

    Much of the big problem in politics today is the parties are owned by big companies, which influence the things being pushed forward to be voted for. The big companies who own the shares in all major political parties also own the press, so they brainwash the people to get the politiccians or parties they want into power. Before the EU became involved when Blair sold us out,, no political party was on the stock market, so no big shareholding company had any direct sway on the political direction we took.  

    We are recently facing one of the most dangerous situations wd have ever faced. Our last steelworks which is massive, and in Port Talbot in Wales, is closing and it is our ONLY means to independently produce steel if we had a war.

  • Some good points there. I think the UK has been woefully mismanaged since Thatcher. We've privatised and closed down all the industry and utilities which has made us poorer and weaker. We do whatever the USA tells us and that is really the UK's only strong point, that we have a large military power that will protect us.

  • Actually the U.K. Milltary is considerably weakened in recent years from what the Royal Navy, the Army and RAF used to be and it’s all by design as a result of defence cuts - historically we Irish used to rely on the RAF and the Navy to protect us, but even during the Ukraine conflict this may no longer be possible
