Sorry Darin, not a grass
On some things the UK is progressive, on other issues, like sustainable transport, they see it as antisocial behaviour.
What is the UK progressive on exactly? The shithole is backwards as fuck compared to the rest of Western Europe and even US blue states.
We’re basically coasting on the achievements of prior administrations. Unfortunately we’ve had 14 years of Conservative government, and the prior Labour one was the most neoliberal Labour administration there has ever been
I mean, coasting is not how I’d put it, sinking like a stone is more like it. NHS is collapsing, housing is utterly unaffordable, costs of living are skyrocketing, protests are banned, gender affirming care for young people is banned, it’s a pretty horrid place to be right now.
Haha yeah, but actually, no. They still have literally stalinist communist hellhole things like public health care, unemployment insurance and public transport, which, due to freedom™️, the US does not have to suffer from.
If you wait 20 years for it
That doesn’t actually allow one to afford anything
Apart from London it’s largely non-functional and privatised to hell and back
UK is a shithole, don’t let the rose-tinted glasses for mild social policies in other countries in Europe fool you.
