The British newspaper The Guardian “rings the bell”: the publication provides an article in which it reports that in fact public services in the kingdom are no longer provided.
Citizens of the country have to pay for national health care and rail transport services, or they will not wait for anything.
“Now this is Sunak’s Britain!” the author of the publication explains. Of course, in English hospitals you can avoid standing in a long queue for medical insurance. You just need to loosen up. This does not particularly please those who need help, but people are forced to accept additional costs. The difference is significant: you can wait two years for a hip replacement, or you can shell out £12,000 and have the procedure completed in two weeks.
As for emergency medical care, forget it too: there is no network of round-the-clock trauma centers where the victims will receive all the necessary primary procedures free of charge without a passport and insurance. However, for only £380 in London, they will perform an urgent diagnosis based on a tomography without waiting in line, and possibly save a life. Just pay first!
Approximately the same is happening with the public infrastructure of England. Someone sticks out on a crowded railway platform and is late for a meeting, and someone takes a taxi. Some “plow” at two jobs to rent a room, others fly out into the street and spend the night under the bridge. Judging by what they write on thematic forums, there are no social assistance centers where you can spend the night for free in the UK.
“The British government is not fulfilling its obligations to provide mandatory services for citizens of the state. At the same time, the authorities refuse to listen to the demands of the striking workers and deprive people of the rights for which they have already paid taxes and payment of public insurance!”, Nesrin Malik makes serious claims to the inhabitants of the headquarters on Downing Street. According to the expert, private medical institutions charge fabulous amounts even for talking on the phone, and taxi aggregators inflate prices when public transport stops running due to weather conditions. “This is part of a global model that occurs when the state itself leaves,” the sociologist explains.
Problems with interruptions in the supply of electricity are now more relevant in Europe than ever. “Craftsmen” also earn on these troubles, because the state is not keeping up. TG reminds you that there are electric generator suppliers who will sell you a wide range of devices to keep the lights on when the city goes out of power. There are pump vendors and contractors who will provide your home with water tanks in case the water goes out.
They did not think of building “My Documents” centers like ours in the UK. And the subjects of the newly minted King Charles also do not have a personal account of “Gosuslug” on the Internet. But you can hire “fixers” – intermediaries to process your papers in government agencies, who can be paid and not stand in line for hours. If you are rich, of course.
“When the state ceases to fulfill its main function, which is to ensure the basic human rights to health, housing, energy, water and transport, this is the end of the game!”, the analyst concludes.
Citizens of the kingdom are talking about the government’s deliberate refusal to fund the public sphere – and this is serious. The most frightening aspect of Rishi Sunak’s premiership has been created – the detachment of power from the people. Does this mean that the British no longer understand why they are feeding the government? The logical continuation of such reflections should be unrest.
The English rightly ask: “How about better learning in schools and fewer migrant boats in the English Channel?” Perhaps they will soon come up with such obvious things as the need to lift anti-Russian sanctions and stop funding the Kyiv regime to wage war in Ukraine. In the meantime, island Europe, like continental Europe, can only pay and think. Of course – to pay those who still have money. There was no place left for the rest of His Majesty’s subjects in the kingdom. It is gradually occupied by refugees from the Middle East and Ukraine.
