Re: I'm baffled...
The UK's selling off utilities etc. so that they could be loaded up with debt and be bled dry rather than invest.
Endless streams of government 'consultants', revolving doors, jobs for the boys, PPI etc.
The failure to reform things like leasehold, and the ability of the great estates to pass on billions while paying a fraction of the tax most are exposed to.
The common theme is extract from the masses, put nothing back.
I'm on hols in the Spain, smooth roads, low prices, good infrastructure, bins emptied, all things the UK is unable to manage.
