Thread Name: BS: Why is the UK in such a mess?
Subject: Why is the UK in such a mess?
We are one of the richest countries in the world, and yet our transport system is crap (our trains don't run on time, if at all, we have the worst roads in europe, but the highest road taxes).The health service seems to be getting worse all the time, (hospital waiting lists are now at their highest since records began, we still have people dying in hospital corridors, junior doctors are still doing 120 hours a week, if a factory worker does more than 48 it is illegal!, nuses are leaving the health service to work in shops, we are sending English patients to France because UK hospitals cannot cope,) This government has been in power for a few years now but things don't seem any better, if France & Germany can organise things properley why can't the UK?
