Trump, MAGA, Farage, Reform and GB News hate the UK and want us to believe the UK is a failing state compared to the USA.
The facts disagree.
On practically every measure of quality of life, health, safety, education, environment, the UK would rank as the best state in America.
The land of the "free " (where people get yanked off the street by masked men) is also the land of half a million medical bankruptcies a year and the world’s largest prison population.
This is the reality.

If the UK joined the US as the 51st state. We would be the poorest state in the entire union. Mississippi which is portrayed at swamp dwelling hillbillies in majority of international media is above us. I don’t think people grasp how far we’ve fallen in real terms when it comes to GDP per capita. We’ve seen no growth for almost an entire generations. We’ve seen our productivity decrease and our tax increases. The average person on the UK, on £50,000 is less well off than your average Mississippi swamp dweller.

There are many countries without a national health service that do it much better than the UK. Look at the rankings. It's not this tax-funded NHS or nothing, look at Europe or Asia to get some inspiration.

@Jaemyung_Lee @BluRoofPolitics 국익을 말하기 전에 본인 책임부터 돌아보십시오. 네타냐후처럼 법 앞에서 책임을 피하고, 필요할 때마다 피해자인 척하는 모습이 닮아 있습니다

사욕을 위해 국익을 훼손하는 자들을 매국노라 부른다.
매국 행위를 하면서도 사욕을 위해 국익을 해치는 것이 나쁜 짓임을 모르는 이들도 많다. 아니 알면서 감행하는 것인지도 모르겠다.
심지어 국익을 포함한 공익추구가 사명인 정치와 언론 영역에서도 매국행위는 버젓이 벌어진다.
결국 이 역시 우리가 힘을 모아 가르치고 극복해야할 국가적 과제, 비정상의 정상화 과제이다.
각국의 주권과 보편적 인권은 존중되어야 하고 침략적 전쟁은 부인된다. 그게 우리 헌법정신이자 국제적 상식이다.
역지사지는 개인만이 아니라 국가관계에도 적용된다.
내 생명과 재산만큼 남의 생명 재산도 귀하다.
존중해야 존중받는다.

@DeptfordWife1 Last summer I got chatgpt to make a business plan for a screen company in the UK because I got so annoyed by bugs

Why aren’t screen doors more common in the UK? I’d love to leave my balcony door open and not be invaded by flies

@notcomplex_ They become doctors for money to help anything or anyone. Look at the strike last year
English
In Korea, test scores determine whether you go to the top colleges.
Also in Korea, doctor is the highest paying and most prestigious stable job.
So the vast majority of an entire country's best minds (over 75%) become doctors.
So far Korea has won zero Nobel Prizes.

Sat in a public in Taiwan, driver didn't know English and I obviously didn't know his language.
I was with my family of 4, not knowing the fare I just handed him two 100 TWD notes, driver looked puzzled but wasn't able to communicate. A granny sitting right infront, simply paid some coins and then driver happily showed me a place to put 100 note and said ok.
I understood it later, the fare was probably 120 TWD and drivers never have change as people usually use the IC card, but someone was kind enough to just pay for the helpless looking tourists.
Guys! Travel the world, people are beautiful, world is beautiful and Racism is mostly prevalent in SM! Reality is very different.

This is perhaps the worst idea I’ve ever heard in my entire life and I’m horrified

Korea has a housing system that makes foreigners' brains stop working. It's called 전세 (jeon-se). You give the landlord a massive deposit — like ₩200,000,000 to ₩300,000,000. Then you pay ZERO rent. Every month. For 2 years. (You still pay utilities and maintenance fees — but zero rent.) When you move out? You get the ENTIRE deposit back. "Wait. So you just... live there for free?" Basically, yes. The landlord invests your deposit and keeps the returns. "And you get ALL of it back?"
English
@Sai_Ishaya_ You wouldnt pay that, you would get a loan from a bank. The interest rates are pretty low for Jeonse, so the interest you pay monthly is a LOT less than rent would be. So you can live comfortably and save for a deposit to buy your own property later or invest yourself.

How about adding air purifiers on public transport? And encourage people, especially older people and children, to wear air pollution masks. Also tell people to close their windows. (Ideas from Korea)
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan@MayorofLondon
⚠️ Important London air pollution update for Friday 6 March. ⚠️ I’ve triggered a high pollution alert due to a forecast of particulate levels mainly caused by Saharan dust. ⚠️ Protect the most vulnerable by avoiding unnecessary car trips, engine idling and burning garden waste.

@KemiBadenoch @Conservatives Why not change it to CPI and not RPI?

Student loan repayments have become a scam.
You work hard but you get "rewarded" with high interest rates.
How is that fair?
@Conservatives will reduce interest rates for hundreds of thousands of graduates.
That's just Step 1 in our New Deal for Young people.
