      The factors that favoured success of the UK in the period of 1750 to 1850 were already beginning to change and this became apparent in the Great Exhibition of 1851 and became more apparent in a series of International Exhibitions in Paris, Berlin and New York in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Air Technology totally obliterates any advantage of being an Island as Hiroshima and Nagasaki demonstrate and now a net work of Railways connecting the EU and Europe will place us at a greater disadvantage because Rail is and was and will be the most cost effective, least polluting transport system ,Physics is patent ,better than Air better than Sea. So all in all the British were and are wrong, and misinformed and clearly lack the necessary information to challenge the much distorted History and Politics fed to them by Farage and Reform .This country and its leaders have been subverted by the worst press and media in Europe. In this election no politician has raised his head above the parapet to challenge Farage' distorted facts ,fallacies and wilful mendacity, the Tory Party did not dissociate themselves from Brexit, they did not correct the wilful fallacies so a badly educated populace which has been flattered and deceived, and told what splendid people they were, and encouraged to believe in the past. All our yesterdays, And the press has been the mirror of lower middle class conceit, the barely respectable. I ask again how can people imagine that a Rapist and a Fraud is the President the USA needs? and now can the British People believe in, and hail the man endorsed by Trump should to be the prime minister we need. But there is another problem which accounts for our failure, The British have been encouraged to imagine they are top dog, they have not collaborated, openly, or rather they have not admitted they have collaborated, and so the people do not know, do not understand that the world has changed, they do not understand the change, they do not realise that we ceased to be a great power, but we hung on grimly to a delusion of the past that was not the success it was cracked up to be. No country can cleave to yesterday, but they have to be taught which are ineffable ethics and what are mutable factors but our politicians do not understand hence this massive hypocrisy. Every year since the first performance of Messiah in Dublin the aria
      What do the nations so furiously rage together against the lord and his anointed, and why do the nations imagine a vain thing, but they thought that meant every one but themselves. . And now a woman who stormed out of the Anglican Church because of women clergy is the law and order spokes-person who thinks a leader who is OK with Rape and Fraud Rape., She has not even asked herself how that is possible?, And in that colossal lack of self-knowledge the country flounders because they elect people like that and then blame every one but themselves. And the history they accept is spun to absurdity by media people whose mental rigidity and reaction are habit. A Michael Gove that thinks Climate Change Science is a Marxist plot, aided and abetted by the ranter par excellence, Peter Hitchins, an Historian who compare Brexit with the dynastic Problems of Henry VIII, another who compares it with the Repeal of the Corn Laws and an anachronism dressed in fancy costume such as no one has worn since the death of Victoria , cannot understand the difference between Statute Law and standards and regulations incorporated into Law by treaty to protect the British Population. When Laurel and Hardy become politicians do you expect serious politics? But they were elected or heeded, despite the absurdity of the whole dam lot. They call it 'Common sense' You realise part of the problem in the the comments the whining because their candidate has been asked searching questions, this is thought of as bias, but only because they they do not know what the BBC and ITV charters were, only because they think media is there to masturbate their prejudices, anything else is bias ,treason or conspiracy, and it the mentality of the lower middle class but technology has rendered them, the average man defunct and obsolete. Every country has them and they are all facing the menace of mediocrity, ignorance, stupidity, credulous and nursing a grievance against whom they know not, but someone must be to blame. Such nicepeopleasthey see in their mirror it can be them. This was the mind set of the Wolkische Beobachter the pioneer of gutter Journalism and the Murdoch Press, and the Daily Mail realised their was revenue and care not a jot it was Fascism.

    I'm from eastern europe and I visited UK as a kid in late 90s and again around 2007. I was amazed by buildings, museums and all the splendor. I visited again in 2017 and my perspective changed. Housing that my friends lived in was disgusting, damp and dark. Costed way too much and commutes were a nightmare. Streets of London outside tourist zones are nasty and don't feel safe at all. I'd rather live in a commie block than those shitty houses. UK became a really undesirable location to live in. Some of my work colleagues transferred to UK and say that while earning more on paper their quality of life has fallen compared to Poland.

This number significantly decreased in 2018-2019, reaching approximately 550,000. At the end of 2020 (after the United Kingdom left the EU), the largest drop was recorded - by almost 100,000 - down to 450,000. Since then, this number has remained at a similar level.

    The problem is, since Thatcher was in power, no-one has been investing in British infrastructure and the British people. This is why the UK is now a third world country. We're still even arguing about HS2, when it should have been built 30 years ago all the way to Newcastle. The City boys have continued to skim off the British workers and middle classes, while country roads are full of potholes and people are dying in ambulances in the casualty queue. I don't live in the UK anymore, but every time I go back, I am stunned by the number of towns that are derelict apart from pubs (if you're lucky), betting shops, charity shops and money lenders.

She very quickly found employment in Denmark at £48,000 p.a., has no student debt, pays £500 per month in a secure-tenancy, rent-controlled flat , whilst my son (£65k student debt and rising) embarks on the process of becoming a Danish citizen. Their first preference had been to make their life in the UK but it was not possible, and to be honest their prospects are much brighter in Denmark. This is the consequence of 45 years of ideologically driven neo-liberalism, and there is scant prospect of any fundamental change under the incoming Labour government,

    "as more people move to the UK, it's level of public services is gradually declining"
    That is not a paradox. Mass immigration/invasion is what is imposed by war upon defeated countries.

Once too many foreign people came and made our homeland into an unrecognisable, dangerous cesspit, those without loyalty to us would leave us to our ruined home. I heard many years ago that this would be the only way in which these foreign people would leave.

    Tax is too high and especially for the middle class. Even unskilled office workers are now in the 40% bracket and with the cost of living rising this has just left many despondent. Workers go part time, buy extra holiday and shirk management roles as it doesn’t pay enough after tax to be worth the stress. This means we have a workforce that is dull and not pushing itself which means globally we continue to lag behind. All the while the bill for central government rises because no Government cares to ensure value for money or that each department is working to full expectations. When on top of that you add people every year who haven’t contributed to the system you then have more pressure to raise taxes to cover.

    In my humble opinion there are physical factors to include along with a disastrous Brexit. UK oil production had a first peak around 1985 with about 140 million cubic meters produced per year, a short dip around 1990 and rebounded to 140 million cubic meters the following years. It peaked around 1998 and has been falling since to about 40 million cubic meters now, so that's a loss of about two thirds. Peak oil is a reality and when it hits the economy tanks. Add throwing a wrench into easy access to the world's largest market and I would say you have a recipe for hard times.

    The NHS should be shut down and an insurance based system like Australia put into place. People should take more responsibility for their health. The NHS is woefully ineffective and wastes money on pointless managers but they can’t even pay doctors and nurses enough.

    It is not that we don't build enough houses for "our growing population" since we have sub replacement level population growth (around 1.4 per woman when 2.1 children are needed to maintain population) meaning we have a shrinking population not a growing one.
    What you really mean is we don't build enough houses to accommodate the 1.2 million people we bring in every year.

      Compared to many people, you actually have many opportunities to better your education and skills.
      Study mathematics, physics, and chemistry. You might not like it at first, but make a habit, and really struggle against the tendency to waste time on wasteful pursuits.
      Once you have sufficient skills in these subjects, go to college (it can be free, depending on your circumstances) and study engineering - go for mixed skills in electrical, electronic, and mechanical if possible.
      If you put your back and mind to it, and can develop the mental strength to study hard and well, you can get yourself to a position where you have the world before you - I'm nearly there, but it took me 8 long years alongside many health problems and setbacks.
      Start small and build up.
      And btw, ultimately Jesus Christ offers the only way to forgiveness and eternal life after this one...
      Take the advice.

      Ahhh yes so easy to accomplish. I wonder why no one has thought of ignoring all of the historical, political, and religious conflicts and putting Ireland into the UK before! Leech off the Irish again. The Republic of Ireland doesn't want to be a part of the UK. Read up on the Irish War of Independence and the Irish Civil war.... And hundreds of years of history before that. Plus the years after those wars. They are their own country for a reason.

    The long term decline is caused by the high tax rate the government takes from the economy. This is compounded by increased regulation and requirements for consultants reports to do anything. These additional costs make us uncompetitive in the world markets.

      If you import millions of third worlders and give them preference over native British people, you will get a housing crisis.
      The first duty of a government is to protect the interests of the NATIVE PEOPLE of said nation. A government which fails to make this their top priority is treasonous and illegitimate.
      No other people on earth allow themselves to be displaced and bullied by foreigners. It is illegal for foreigners to own property in China. Thailand does not allow foreigners to displace its people. Japan does not force its citizens to suffer through an open border with the third world.

    Looking at these data on housing in UK, I had to reflect the situation in my own country of Serbia. Population is smaller each year, mainly due to emigration, but more and more housing is being built, and prices are constantly rising. In my city of Novi Sad (population around 300.000) there are almost 30.000 empty housing units, where no one lives. And yet - prices are going up. Average monthly salary is around 800 €, and average price for a 2 bedroom flat is around 150k - 300k €. Monthly rent for that same flat ranges from 400 € to 2.000 € per month. If you decide to take a credit with a bank, you need to get 20% down-payment (30k - 60k €) cash. If you take credit for 30 years, and 100k €, you will be paying out to the bank a total of 240k €, at the end. Countryside is a different story. Villages and small towns are dying out, because there is no work to be found there, and yet the prices of real estate are either stagnating, or slowly rising. No economist yet has explained this strange situation.

While sallary would definitely be bigger in England the work culture here is pretty relaxed. If you are interested, our country has some great sites to visit and it would be better to just search video about our country if interested. I'm happy here and that's more than I can say about some other countries.
