THE SLOW DEATH OF BRITAIN:
We have shit water companies so we buy bottled water.
We have rubbish police so we hire private security.
We have terrible healthcare so we pay private hospitals instead.
Airbnbs in Cornwall pay council tax but get no rubbish collection, so they pay Biffa on top.
An awful lot of firemen are now volunteers.
NHS dentists don’t really work anymore, so you go private or you pull it out yourself.

Our roads are littered with potholes nobody fills. Your privately funded tyres and suspension are the collateral. You are forced under threat of criminal prosecution to fund the BBC, and it’s so bad you pay for streaming to get news or entertainment anyway. Your bins are collected fortnightly, so you drive to the tip. The tip now requires a booking, a permit and proof you live in the county. Garden waste is a separate annual subscription. On top of the council tax that used to cover it.
