The U.K. really does seem to be going down the drain.
We moved back to the U.K. last year, after 5 years living abroad and it was shocking just how much worse things are than before we left, in many many ways.
A declining nation, still putting on a brave face of over-confidence about its place in the world, citing long-past glories (but don't you dare get all woke saying that the empire was built on enslaving people to plunder their own resources.)
A declining world. Global warming, global conflicts, civil unrest, illness etc. don’t worry tho there’s unlimited haha funny videos on the toktik for you to enjoy!
