As I sit here and type this, my double-glazed, insulated house is keeping the cold out and my broadband connection is working okay and I have electricity in my wires and gas in my pipes (so to speak!). I hear no nearby gunfire and I hear no distant explosions.
I do not look out of my glazed windows onto thousands of square metres of rancid, rotting rubbish, being foraged by children and people who are 40 years old but look 80.
I can jump into my car (even at this late hour) and go to a 24 hour supermarket and purchase products that would have rendered our recent ancestors dumbstruck with disbelief. And I don't just mean the technological stuff. Simply being able to buy cabbages, oranges, carrots, olives, pineapples, bananas, etc. just a couple of generations ago would have been unthinkable.
I strongly suspect that the above is true for 99.9% of all those people on AB.
To suggest Britain is now a third world country is bordering on the hysterical.
