Passport and DVLA backlogs are chronic, so the state sells you a fast track service to escape the queue the state created.
The trains are late whoever owns them, so you drive on the roads with the potholes.
Public toilets are shut, so you buy a coffee you don’t want.
The library is staffed by pensioners working for free.
Street lights are switched off at midnight to save money in a country with a burglary charge rate near zero.

You pay National Insurance for fifty years and they move the pension age. You pay the adult social care precept every year and then sell your mother’s house to pay for adult social care. Leaseholders pay for a “waking watch” because the state signed off the cladding and then billed the residents to fix it.
