"I do not believe Britain is as decrepid as Mr. Shaw says.
When it comes to decrepitude England should be near the bottom of the list of nations. I don't know who gets the top most vile slot."

Well belief is faith without evidence. I've lived here for seventy years and I think I'm closer to the evidence that my country is in a parlous state (currently but not always) than you are. And it's not a competition by the way. By the way again, do try to sort out your England/Britain/UK terminology.
