Public services may be poor, due to 15 years of austerity, but the country as a whole is not. It’s just concentrated in the hands of a very wealthy few who are so greedy and antisocial that they’d rather we all starve than they give up even a tiny percentage of their wealth.
and how do you expect to squeeze money out of the capitalist class? same as australia ive never been worth more because my house is insanely overvalued but my day to day hasn’t changed much
maybe we shouldn’t use wealth as a barometer of a rich country and look at the experience of the average person instead ?

You’re confusing the experience of the average working class person with the purse strings of an entire nation.
Yes, people are poor. People are poor because wages have stagnated while prices and productivity have increased.
The capitalist class however have seen unprecedented wealth increase.
Britain is still among one of the richest countries in the world as a whole, despite its working class being squeezed for all they’re worth.
