I heard that Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales leaders are planning to meet to break up UK. Is it really true? Anyone from UK here who can tell me what is actually happening there?

    I’m not political. I say what I see. And what I see is crime rates sky high, year long nhs waiting times, etc. I don’t look at it from a political perspective — if I did, I’d be scathing both left and right corrupt fuckers in parliament. They’re all the same any way you slice it.

        To be clear, the NHS is just one example of everything that I see is broken in the UK, I’m not singling it out for any particular reason.

        But to answer your question, lack of resources and funding (staff, equipment, money etc.) has led to basically staff shortages and what is widely considered to be inadequate healthcare. I’m not saying literally nobody gets good quality care, but a lot of people don’t and it’s not really acceptable, especially considering that some major surgery waiting lists can reach up to a year or more (in other words: if they need surgery then they will have to wait for it for a year or longer).
