    Underfunding the police, all mental health and social support, and having leaders who constantly, openly cheat, steal and lie for a decade.

    This makes the country and people’s behaviour worse? Surprised Pikachu

    I feel like the UK is falling apart and half the population is doing their best to fuel the flames.

      Yeah, it’s all gone to shit.

      In a way I’m kinda hopeful for the future though, it feels like more people are gradually acknowledging the country is in a poor state, and some Brexit people even acknowledge it was a mistake.

      Unlike in the US where people seem to double down on the country being great when things are actually getting worse.

        When American is at its worst, it’s absolutely lowest, it is still better than the UK on it’s best day.

        I don’t know if organised gangs do. Did you see the videos in the article? The first video was just a bunch of teens being cunts, the second video they were just stealing alcohol, not exactly a priority when you’re in need.

        Either way, it’s all part of the same problem. The populace is getting poorer and more desperate, and more crime ridden. Seems to be a common problem across a lot of the western world recently.
