Excuse me while I have a rant to get things off my chest.
I'm increasingly feeling that urban & suburban England is utter shit (and it's spilling over into rural Britain)
There's litter & tags everywhere. Vehicles are parked, blocking the crumbling pavements. Roads are potholed.
No one seems to care about what their houses look like (least of all grifting landlords) with scrubby front gardens littered with rusting cars & vans.
Public transport is expensive, unreliable & doesn't go where you want to go when you want to go, leading to vast areas of concrete car parks that are licensed to print money for car park barons
There's no law on the roads, roads policing doesn't exist, and the Highway Code is ignored with impunity. Vulnerable road users take their lives into their hands every time they go out
Racism and all other -isms are displayed openly
I get why Reform people are angry, but their solution is wrong. We need more community & cohesion and much less hate.
