Exactly, that's not unique for UK.
People who do well, are doing slightly better. But "The most disadvantaged people" are no better off than they were 15 years ago. I think that's pretty general for most of EU and USA too.
What may be different in UK, is that the ones with reasonably good jobs are not doing better either.
Actually, I'd say that many countries in the EU are doing significantly better. Especially the ones with extensive social safety nets like the Nordic countries, Germany, the Netherlands and a few more.
But it requires that people are actually willing to redistribute wealth from the upper half to the lower half. Unfortunately, many in the upper half, who usually also possess the power, are often not willing to implement those policies.
Brexit is working as intended, I see.
Looks like Brexit was the way to go. For the rich.
Who would have thought...
I hope the tories get so completely destroyed in this next election that it causes one of those political seismic shifts that happens when a political party gets wrecked so fucking hard it just ups and vanishes. I hope they get fucked to death so fucking hard that it spawns one of those crazy apocryphal historical stories that historians are at least 95% but never 100% sure it never happened, like Marie Antoinette saying "let them eat cake", only it's Thatcher's coffin floating up out of its grave and belching black smoke for a week.
It always surprises me that the country that gives us Guy Fawkes Day each year hasn't gotten around to burning any of the actual fucking traitors.
I can't judge though we might re-elect ours.
That's because Guy Fawkes day actually celebrates the fact that he failed in his plot and the monarchy and establishment was allowed to continue. It commemorates the failed 17th-century plot by a group of English Catholics to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Somehow it's been twisted backwards in recent years but make no mistake, the country that gave us Guy Fawkes day would burn the wrong ones.

Ugh, the NERVE! Finally the rich have tweaked the system to unfailingly funnel all the money their way as ruthlessly as possible and these utter hacks dare call it "broken"!
Wasn't that the plan of Brexit to have peasants toiling in the wheatfields for the glory of their king who farts soup out of his butt
The world is broken. If we don’t take out the rich, nothing will ever get better
I'd say the picture could be just about anywhere in any city in the world, but the streets there are really clean.
And with it, the UK will expand like it did in the Victorian era. Mainland invasion of Europe when?
