EUROPE
A few examples in Europe: University Education is largely free, there are lower levels of income equality, there is much higher use of renewable energy, there is much larger ownership of key portions of the economy...
UK
Most English are against privatisation, but the government is roaring ahead with it.
4th most unequal country in the developed world
Pay has fallen faster, in the last 3 yrs, than the EU
Work 3rd longest hours for 2nd lowest wages
3rd highest housing costs
Highest train fares
2nd worst in fuel poverty
Least happy children
Higher infant mortality rate
Worst child poverty
4th poorest pensioners
8th biggest pay gaps men/women
Cost of child care MUCH higher
Wealth gap 2x as wide as EU
16% below productivity of advanced economies
40% of all western privatisations are in UK
Most un-democratic government (first past post, unelected Lords). Giving lowest trust in politicians
Not investing in the future (except HS2 which no one wants!).
Just flogging off assets to suck wealth into un-productive London based black holes.
London is now the centre for money-men over making things. And they truly rule the political agenda, not us
Britain is NOT great, it is very, very sick.
Is it surprising the Scots want out?
