Britain is in a state of flux at the moment.

It has no leadership. Stained by Epstein and corruption. The Royal Family can only duck.

Politically, there is extremism.

Euthanasia is being debated.

We look on the world stage and cannot see America as an ally.

We are morally and socially bankrupt.

Let us hope that new leaders with insight will emerge.

They have done so in the past: Disraeli, Gladstone, Lloyd George, Churchill, and Attlee.

I think you are being too pessimistic, by overlooking the fact that although we do have serious problems and difficult social matters (as do many other countries) we do try to debate them, do try to overcome them; and to do so still in fairly civilised ways.

@ArishMell Be interesting to see where we are in eighteen months time.

A lot of our problems we have no say in, or are such small players on the world stage.

@peterlee It will, I agree.

We should stop talking ourselves down though. No country nowadays can be an island except geographically; and the UK actively belongs, or is a signatory, to around ninety international bodies and agreements.
