At some point this downward spiral the country is on must be stopped.

English councils plan to sell off social clubs and sports centres to balance books.

Social spaces lost forever. Libraries, community centres, school playgrounds, parks closed/sold as council funding cut in real terms to appease the rich.

Social vandalism.

Survey finds 60% of key cities councils are planning to sell assets to meet costs of adult and children’s social care

    Maybe the rich elites will do charitable community stuff, rich benefactors if you will, like in the 19th century

    Rishi Sunak Public Baths, The Duke of Westminster library, the William Windsor Youth Club...

    And the plebs can all die of proper British diseases, like rickets and TB. Halcyon days

    I was just saying that the times we live in now resemble the 1920's. The rich are plundering society and a crash is coming. It's all unsustainable.

    They close down all the sports and social clubs and the libraries (which are now media centres as well), then complain about gangs of kids and young people loitering on corners or committing crimes, and obesity, poor mental health and loneliness among people of all ages. Join the f* dots!
