We can all argue the toss about funding, overcrowding, selfish workers etc. The bottom line is that the problems in this country are almost solely down to the inequality in how the wealth is apportioned. Improperly funded public services, extortionate house prices, extortionate rents, rampant inflation, low wages, 12 years of austerity, food banks, creaking NHS, filthy rivers, inefficient public services etc. etc. There's a massive wealth grab going off and these are all the symptoms. I've no idea how to fix it, but until it's recognised and discussed (which it still largely isn't) then there's no hope of any change.

Diverting more wealth to the super-rich (which is what's happening) means they just buy up more assets which just inflates the cost of everything else for the rest of us (which is what's happening). It's not rocket science.

12 years of this sh1t and still nobody calls out this f uc king government. Unbelievable.
I don’t disagree. Unfortunately we’re getting screwed from all ends.
