@Lone_Ranger The UK is absolutely snookered, so far as I can tell.

Those who can are going overseas, leading to massive brain drain.

The public sector can’t afford to pay as much as the private sector, meaning the state is ran by mongoloids.

The economy has stagnated, leading to below inflation wages.

The state has fudged the numbers for over a decade with massive waves of visas, subsequently suppressing wages further.

The chancellor is likely to increase taxes and cut public spending, but for what cause… nobody knows!

The anti-colonialist mind rot has set in to the point that they are about to give the Chagos island to Mauritius and give them £9bn because the ICJ told them to. No one gives a damn about the ICJ..

This country is in a doom spiral, whether that’s ideologically driven or incompetence or even both I can’t rightly say.

The sweeping demographic issues are indeed a symptom, but I would say mostly by retards trying to prop up a broken economy and the consequences of bringing in low skilled third worlders is plain for all to see.

I believe the leftist idea that immigrants are equal to the natives is a secondary effect of their rampant and damaging Oedipal empathy. What I mean to suggest is, the greatest symptoms of our rapid decline are not necessarily overtly malicious but more likely the outcomes of poor long term societal management - which, yes, stems from ideas of self loathing.

And all of that before I’ve even mentioned illegal immigrants, which are another magnitude of destructive.

All told, if you can retire outside of a city you’ll probably be able to live comfortably enough. If you’re just coming up in the world and looking for opportunities, it’s another story entirely.

I reckon the sponge is all but dry and when the inheritance tax comes to screw over the decent farmers we’ll begin to see the dominos of big asset sell offs to private interests, again, not as an overtly malicious conspiracy against us, but as a secondary effect of running out of options entirely.

Maybe something will happen in the interim to fire up the natives to wrestle back control… but I’m really starting to think not.

RIP.

@Vermillion-Rx yeah. it really sucks.

I recall how london was in the 1990s. It was amazing. it was a world of possibility, or opportunity. It was also so liberal. You could do what you wanted, be who you wanted. You could be gay, white, black, female, male - nobody gave a shit. you just had to be great at what you did - whether you were a poet, a CEO, a trader, an actor. the economy was on fire. the bars and pubs were fun. it was safe and vibrant and welcoming. people were genuinely not racist. Women were equals, and behaved as such. people were welcome to come from all over the world and actually work.

it has changed so much. DEI, ESG, gender pay gay, net zero, BLM, trans agenda, the glorification of poverty and dis-productivity, the dirt, crime, white-hatred, the extreme left wing politics.

For example, women are very different in London now. they used to behave like equals. Like actual adults. men and women used to meet as equals, and there would be a mutual exchange of value.

now they sit at home on apps, looking for men that will take them on dates and not have sex. And the guys have adapted to be what the women want - incel simps, with pride badges and man buns, full sleeves and yoga. instagram, swiping, texting etc. but no actual sex.

A sexless world with no family formation, no children and no future. Just a world of ever higher taxes to pay for the benefits, a more powerful state, more cameras, more thought control, more benefits for new arrivals that don't work.
