I grew up in the UK, and am 52 years old.
I have watched the way they have lowered the education standard year upon year, hoping people would remain stupid enough to keep voting, keep cheering the royal leaches, take no notice of the theft by taxation.

Austerity for all except politicians should have been the straw that broke the camels back, though when people are only watching Coronation st and east enders, and looking at the kardashians or what ever they are called for heroes, the UK is doomed.

Medicrity rules the day, where the UK once ruled the waves, sad but true.
