Things aren't getting worse in the UK, they're just staying exactly the same as they've always been.

There are two parties and they're both basically identical to each other and they just keep swapping every decade or so. The Conservatives crash the economy, mostly due to piss-pour economic handling and welfare cuts, eventually everyone gets irritated with them and boots them out. Labour proceeds to blame the conservatives for the economic mess for the next 10 years, fail to really achieve anything of any significance due to the inevitable infighting (they've already started), and eventually lose power to the conservatives. Then the entire story mess repeats itself.

You get five or six rounds of this and then all the current lot die and you replace them with a new bunch of idiots.

Seriously this crap goes all the way back to the 1930s. We never get a break.

Things are getting worse in the UK in terms of wealth inequality, living standards, civil rights and democratic freedom.
