Remember when we used to live in a First World country?

The not fit for purpose civil service again. Whether it be the Passport office, DVLA, foreign office, etc etc they are stuck in the past, resist to change and efficiency improvements. you won't find the rag dare to criticise its masters in the Civil service union's

It took the full 5 days to get my replacement debit card after I reported it lost on Sunday. In the past it was normally there max 3 days after. Not even heard about our passport status for the past 2 weeks. Indeed things are going badly here.

Let’s be honest this country is a litany of failures.

What moron books a holiday without having a passport.

What do you expect,not just passports ,all agencies are creaking at the seems . That’s what you get when you cut cut services, yet again it’s. A disgrace, when are stand up and say enough is enough. ❓

It's hard not to feel a sense of doom descending over the UK. Constant meltdowns - even in politics where political decorum and dignity have been replaced by bullying and threats.

Technical term would be a sh1¥load Many may view them as an isor ruining the landscape(maybe they can afford expensive energy) However, above the trees, you can expand woods to forests & offer more freedom for animals without roads. With more oxygen, more wood to grow, seen from a hill a design can be modern art. For us, a barren landscape may have beauty for an artist. But a woodland with ugly turbines is a sanctuary for animals, no hunt for their kind is a paradise.

UK house prices hit record high but cost of living crisis likely to cool marketShortage of homes for sale and ‘race for space’ drove average cost to 282,753 in March, says Halifax Just underscoring how this “market” is entirely artificial & utterly devoid from people’s daily lives 🔥🇬🇧 Such a twee outlook. As if the housing market consists solely of salaried individuals looking for a home. House prices are disconnected from wages. Prices were juiced in 2020/21 by half a trillion of printed money. The market slow-down will be due to printing slowing-down.
