I firmly believe it is. I’ve seen in my industry a shit load of factories close down over the years. It’s hard to buy into the idea that everything’s basically fine, when I’ve seen it myself that it isn’t.
And it’s not just factories. Digital ID, HS2, immigration, energy prices, net zero, pick one. Tory or Labour it’s the same shite.
Brexit was sold as one thing, turned into another, covid contracts were a free for all, HS2 chopped to bits. Hard to take any of them seriously anymore when it’s just promise and then u turn, repeat.
Now this is going make me sound like a proper nostalgia merchant, but I can remember when I was in my teens in the early 2000’s, the parks and recreation grounds were spotless. The park behind my parents house used to pristine, about ten immaculate bowling greens, tennis courts, nicely mowed grass. Parks around the area were the same, but they are all mostly run down now. No attention is given to them. It may be a shit example to you, but I often think what went wrong in those 20 years for things to be so half arsed now? The country is on its arse in so many ways.
