Or don’t want to listen to this kind of shite daily.
I’m on minimum wage and had a great day today.
Was talking to a mate last night who is working in Krakow Poland and has to travel to Berlin on Saturday. He looked into train tickets and was quoted around 70 euro for 600km journey. I wonder how much a 600km train journey would cost in the UK. We are being royally ripped off here in UK.
TAX THE RICH, TAX EM TILL THE PIPS SQUEAK.
You are vastly underestimatimg our healthcare system and should try another country to get educated about it.
Heating and affordable food, fair enough if you’re in a low paid job or unable to work. The other statements are dramatic come on, it’s not America. I’ve never not been able to get a doctors appointment and I’ve always been seen and received incredible care at A&E. Trains are sometimes unreliable/expensive but they’re not that bad. Y’all are obsessed with spreading doom and gloom.
Getting sick is fine as its covered by the national insurance we pay. There are certain parties (we all know who) that want to remove that and privatise our health care.
Train travel is expensive but is being renationalised. There are other methods of transport such as coach travel that are much more affordable.
Heating is fine. Yes its expensive for a lot of people, but government aided help is there if you need it.
As with heating, food is also expensive but you can get help where you need it. Although when we give it (free school meals as an example) people seem to oppose it. Not sure how people can defend the idea of starving children but if thats their opinion thats down to them.
I know the media wants us to believe the UK is some dystopian hell hole where you will be shot on sight for not following the regime, but let’s try to remember the real world we live in.
UK is fine as long as you need to live somewhere, eat food, travel anywhere or have any type of luxury/ enjoyment at all in life.
Or arent white, cause every racist has decided to come out of their hole in the wall
What an absolute load of nonsense
People should try cooking their own meals instead of buying branded and pretending to be shocked it costs so much
Oh yeah? Try going anywhere else in the world , see how you fare. Wouldn’t last a day. A lot of complainers in the UK don’t know how easy they have it compared to the majority of the worlds population. There’s maybe a few countries who do better on all metrics – I can name them on one hand. life is tough in general but it’s much tougher in the vast majority of countries.
NHS is free to the point of service and we have paid sick leave. Trains were always shite… Now that we are nationalising them again, people will remember how bad they were and probably beg for them to be privatised again. Fair cop on the heating… Pricing is silly. Though I recently bought a few thermal socks and a thermal jumper – real game changer. As for affordable food? Well there is plenty of affordable food around if you are willing not to be picky and go for store brand.
A tad dramatic, we have it better than a lot of other countries. So many whiny nobheads in this country lol.
I know a guy so poor right now that he needs to use plasters on his bicycle tire punctures because he can’t afford a repair kit. Costs about 5 quid.
Can only agree with heating – everything else is just overreacting.
Trains are quite reliable and efficient (albeit expensive).
Healthcare is strained but still decent.
Buying groceries is also fine, eating out or buying exclusively from local shops can be pricey.
It’s about to get even better if you have 5 kids and don’t work
UK has much better salaries and MUCH cheaper food than my home country of Croatia where you earn 4 times less and pay about double for food so this is bullshit
Train in the morning at rush hour
3 carriages.
Train at 2pm at the dead hour
8 carriages.
Hmmmmmmmmm
No, I’m not having that. The NHS is still world class. Not many countries are better
The NHS needs help. But it saved my life several times.
We are still better off than America, poor bastards.
We just need to put a stop to the systematic undermining of the NHS by the arseholes trying to push us towards that rubbish American model.
A friend of mine had a brain surgery on the NHS right after being consulted for a constant headache. After the consultation the doctor checked his eyes by doing the left-right with his finger thing. The doc sent him for a brain scan and the next day he had a surgery for it.
We are fine. Not good, but fine. Definitely not America-fine.
Or have anything happen to you that requires police attendance
I dunno man, I cut my finger off once and the NHS were shit hot in getting it reattached. It didn’t cost me a penny.
Or be trans
Got on trains a couple of weeks ago, first time in about two years, from Bristol to Newark, Nottinghamshire. Three trains, one was cancelled, one was delayed. The replacement for the delayed train said it would no longer be stopping at the stations on the way to Newark, leaving people on the platform in WTF? mode and no alternative, this being 7pm and no more trains. Like, why can you not just stop the train at the stations?
Thank fuck I was on the way to buy a car and hopefully won’t have to go on public transport again.
Or need reliable information…
Or enjoy privacy on the internet
Micha isn’t from the UK
To add : As long as you don’t start to get curious about British politics, or try to understand what the vision for the country is.
Did an American write this?
USA is fine at the moment  as long as you condone Masked Ice raids, daily mass shootings, terrible train links, own a car and even then the amount of people with over sized trucks ruins driving, need heating or affordable food and want to get obese and want to deal with organised crime gangs.Â
Fruit and veg is still really cheap…
Well it’s better than America (the only other country) so I guess everything’s fine then…

The same people who voted for Brexit are the ones complaining about the result of having voted for Brexit.
£350m a week extra for the NHS, remember?
I don’t use trains much but today I did and my fucking god was it packed. Like 4 carriages from Exeter to London fucking stuffed with people. Like standing for hours, old folk, kids. Crazy
Our food is affordable, not much else, but as a percentage of average salary we are third lowest in the world.
Or have a chronic illness that can’t be fixed with a new medication. Or need dental work. Or want water tyst isnt 70% chalk. Or get raped. Or need therapy. Or are feeling low enough to need help but not enough to be planning your suicide that very moment.
(GPs turning away all non urgent appointments, adding a bunch of new medications on an already long list to try to quick fix things, dentist offices all being fully booked for over a year, South having ridiculously hard water causing constant tap problems, rape crisis centre having a 3 year wait list that they just remove you from if you don’t chase them up on it every few months, no free or even reasonably priced actual therapy, iTalk refusing to talk to you if you have any even remotely complicated emotions or situations, Samaritans leaving you to fend for yourself if you’re not planning to kill your self the exact moment you call them). Just for another couple of examples.
