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.

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.

You can see the economy sharply rising in UK around the time of UE accession of post-communist countries. What a coincidence.

Touch some grass. All we wanted is to make our own laws and not be ruled by other countries. Our own remainer, London centric ruling class let us down in not taking advantage of our independence. One day, we’ll vote in someone who will reform things. 😘

Why no one wants to live in the uk ..... tell that to all the migrants floating across the channel and the 600,000people who moved here last year that has nothing to do with the highest levels of homelessness the fact we need to build a house every 2minutes to keep up

[@user-qu9yp8pj1k]

When you compare it to living in Bangladesh or Africa of course they’d choose the uk. But the fact is the uk is becoming shittier and shittier every year for the average British person.

[@TrangleC]

The relative ease of moving to other Commonwealth countries or the USA certainly is also a factor. The threshold for making the decision to migrate must be considerably lower for British people than it is for other Europeans who would have to adapt to speaking a different language and adjust to a very different culture and job market.

[@ApplebobDaGreat]

To be fair, this isn’t just a British problem. France has a lot of poor areas too and so do many other European countries. Its just that because of brexit britains economic issues are intensified.

[@thejustifier5566]

Britain doesn’t really make any new products that anyone wants. That is the problem that is why they stagnate.

In Ireland we watch a lot of British tv. It’s insane how much of it revolves around stretching your money and protecting it. Things like Rip-Off Britain, Jamie Oliver’s £1 wonders, and segments on affordable clothes/bills/necessities on daytime tv. It’s like omg can these people afford to breathe?

I have been living in uk for 18 years now, I have 3 degrees completed here and think really hard about moving out. I’ll do that in the next 5 years for sure. The lack of any growth and the state of economy is appealing, and since I came here in 2006 I actually never was earning good money here, at the beginning I had no skills so was working low skill jobs. Then I was Aubrey underpaid by my employers and unfortunately I stayed way too long there. So if your employer is not appreciating you with payment just keep jumping job and f**k loyalty, they are not loyal to you

[@peterkee354]

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.

[@exonut2477]

Hell man, I lived in UK for a year. Even if thety weren't poor I'd still refuse to live there again. To give you an example of why I think that , there were god damn metal detectors in KINDERGARDEN.

[@cadlantiquecao8796]

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.

[@theLowestPointInMyLife]

scottish oil production you mean

[@rheung3]

Nordic way FYR would not sell oil when world’s market price too low, but wait years (which other could?) to sell when high, so, same millions tonnes of oil could mean many times different. FYR only. Thanks.

[@phillipphil1615]

​@@theLowestPointInMyLifeyou are right, however , Scotland is still part of the UK.

[@davidcooks2379]

Should have treated it as a bounty and invest oin a sovereign wealth fund rather than spend on current expenditure

[@eldoherz]

That and the fact that all that oil wealth went to private interests. WE could have something akin to the Norwegian Sovereign wealth fund, or we could have invested in our people. Instead we just made the rich even richer at the expense of everyone and everything else.

[@al9709]

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.

[@gillb9222]

Ive just applied for my Irish passport so I can get myself and my son out of the UK. I am glad the Tories are going but I don't think that things are going to get any better any time soon. I tried moving to Scotland from England but while Scotland has a better ethos it doesn't have the money to back it up because of the lack of funding from Westminster.
