    There has never been any attempt to recover from Thatcher because the dominant ideology that affects everything in day to day life has no name. Imagine if in the USSR nobody had heard of communism. That's where the British are today.

    The ideology of all #uk parties is #neoliberalism (Thatcher's ideology) - that's why!

    Neoliberalism is the bedrock of British politics. It's everywhere. It's inescapable. And it's the number one reason why #brokenbritain exists.

  3. “There’s a guy called Dave Wells in Bournemouth with 3,000 properties... I think we should seize them.”

  5. @wood5y It's bureaucracy. The golden rule of Bureaucrats is: they need to justify their paycheck, whilst doing as little work as possible.

    It's much easier for them to deal with a threat of grannies holding up signs than it is for them to deal with a threat like ISIS. They justify their paycheck either way. So they always choose to deal with the easiest job. As a result, the grannies are the job that gets dealt with.

    Bureaucracy is why we have #brokenbritain

    Robert Jenrick complaining that the country is broken is a bit like Fred West complaining his patio isn't level.

  9. Saw partner had bought a new tub of Sudocrem for his eczema…and it had a yellow security protection sticker on it.

    The main purpose I know of Sudocrem is to treat nappy rash.

    We now have mothers so poor and desperate to treat their babies sore bottoms they are stealing basic treatments.

    This is #BrokenBritain.

    What are politicians of any stripe doing to help babies who are in pain through no fault of their own and risk having their mother’s criminalised.

  11. My partner is currently fighting the crazy world of AQA GCSE past papers for English Language for her daughter. All the papers are incomplete for ‘copyright reasons’ — the passages and pictures on which the questions are based are mostly missing.
    How is this farce acceptable?

  13. I was gonna sign up to a yoga class but I don't think I'll bother now. This is CENSORSHIP. #BrokenBritain

  14. Rachel Reeves swears she’s not bringing back austerity while… checks notes …cutting benefits, squeezing public services, and refusing to tax record corporate profits. Labour’s just the Tories in a new suit. #ToryLite #BrokenBritain

  20. Welcome to the pathetic mess of Brexit Britain. Where appliance have to be shipped with two identical power rating stickers to placate the nationalistic morons who have spray everything with union flags.

    I hate everything this country has become.

  22. A 100 gram bar of #Cadbury’s #Bourneville #chocolate has increased in price from £1 to £1.50 in a short period of time. ☹️

  23. Arrived back at #EdinburghAirport this afternoon.

    We disembarked the aeroplane, and were left waiting in a queue, on the tarmac next to the plane due to the queue at Border Control. Thankfully it wasn’t raining.

    Young children running around an airport apron has to be something for the #HealthAndSaftey to look into. No!?

    Can’t understand why #BorderForce only have 10 eGates at Edinburgh.

    Go anywhere in the world are things work fine. Come to the UK and find #BrokenBritain.

  24. As a once member of the #Labour Party, it’s fantastic to hear #starmer saying how’s he going to fix #brokenbritain by increasing taxes on the wealthy, closing tax loopholes for big business and increasing corporation tax.

    Oh no, wait….
