Steve Shaw says, I'll tell you summat. We've got schools begging parents for money, hospital waiting lists rocketing, A&E departments unable to cope, food bank dumps in every supermarket in the fifth biggest economy in the world, homelessness going through the roof as people die in the cold just outside Parliament, and most of the roads round here are full of last winter's potholes still. You never see a copper round here these days either. I mean, what sort of a bloody country is this when ordinary citizens' security and comfort and safety are ignored while our alleged leaders turn parliament into a pantomime as they "discuss" the disaster they instigated that is about to befall us? What do we pay these clowns for?

Gee, that sounds like California. Here's an article titled California now world’s 5th largest economy, surpassing UK

California has about half the population of the UK, and is about half again the size of the UK land mass. I see lots of drones in the retail stores of California, but very few in the air. Lots of potholes, though.
