Not quite. A substantial number of people in the UK live in poverty - between 20 and 25% [0].

This has been made worse by terrible political decisions, such as Brexit [0]. Specifically, austerity and political decisions (not limited to corruption) is linked to 130,000 preventable deaths [1]. Those same "budget cuts" for austerity exist while money is sent to "consultants" to "help fix things".

Not everyone in the UK has it well. The government, quite frankly, is fairly shit. And corrupt.

Thanks for the great example. The poverty chimney needs to be considered in conjunction with the security doors and the air quality windows and the human rights carpets and the unemployment basement and the healthcare bathroom and so on... before deciding on the house’s value.


They're shit, until you compare them to who they were up against, which was a jew hating Marxist.


You know that jeep hating was "branding" and bullshit from the tories, right? Literally false conservative propaganda.
