    On the other hand I love it because it is a country which has come a long way towards equality and made some positive changes.

    Like your racist royal family?

    Like all the stupid shit that Boris Johnson has said?

    Like the complete disaster that is Brexit?

    Like completely fucking up your COVID response? You know there’s a problem when countries half as wealthy as yours are doing better.

    Like suppressing protesters, like you say China does? https://www.euronews.com/2021/04/04/kill-the-bill-protests-across-the-uk-over-new-bill-to-give-police-more-powers

      Are you even reading my comments? I detest boris johnson and the royal family, I’m a republican socialist.

      The Covid stuff is more complicated, we have bad numbers due to government incompetence and reluctance to enact lockdowns, but in terms of testing and vaccinations we are doing well, and at this stage far better than our neighbours in Europe
