Gulliver it’s called going on holiday and there’s thousands more doing it after having a taste of restrictions on them, it’s called an extra 10 seconds multiplied by 1000s to have our passports stamped now we’re out of the EU ( no regrets for me there ) and it’s called French Border controls being arsey, all adds up to long queues at our ports
There's more to all of that than money, untitled. This government has chucked endless money at the NHS but with dire management it wastes millions and it has done for years. The police too need pulling up by their boot straps but society is such that they CAN'T police properly even if they want to. Cries of 'Human Rights' and police brutality abound - never forgetting the grooming gangs ignored for years - during Labour's term of office too - for fear of upsetting the Muslim community. Even the eco protestors sticking themselves to roads and trains and causing havoc for everyone around are pussyfooted around. Money isn't the problem in any of that.
I think the Welfare State has relieved those who want to be burden-free of their personal responsibilities. Instead of taking responsibility for themselves they expect and demand that society does it for them.
Frankly I think there are plenty who play the victim but I don't think people in general are too badly off at all - enough seem to want to come here even from other parts of Europe, so it can't be so very terrible.

We disagree on the causes of those problems naomi but I appreciate your thoughtful answer...
... i actually think the severe cuts to mental health services and social support generally has had a more serious impact on policing in this country than anything else in the last 12 years...
police are constantly firefighting the extreme end of this country's mental health and addiction crises when they are not the appropriate service for it... relatedly lots of seriously ill people end up in prison when that simply isn't the right place for them - but there's nowhere else because so many mental health services have been closed.
i do agree that money is not the only problem in the NHS but the conservative reforms have made it so much worse. It is absolutely full of third party companies who overcharge enormously for low-value outsourcing... much of the money invested gets eaten up by them...
