We have been shown to be what we are. A cowardly country now only fit to ruled. Our own government has done this to us.
While I agree with our post, it's not just the government, the people of the UK share in the blame in so many ways.
Just look at the ways in which they are unwilling to work, reflected in our very low productivity:
We don't want to pick the crops we grow, too much like hard work and not enough wages, but we don't want to pay more for the crops either. Resolve that one!
We don't want to do care work, leaving it to foreigners, again too much like work and not enough wages, but we don't want to pay more for social care. Same impasse.
We have 22% of the population registered disabled, Germany with it's infinitely more successful economy has 13% registered disabled.
These and more are the reasons I've always known we would fail even worse as an independent nation, just as we did before we joined the EU.
So we should stop blaming the government alone and look in the mirror. A people get the government they deserve.
