ChrisMayLA6, I don't like the term #neoliberalism (its imprecise use renders it a weak criticism), but the UK's malaise is clearly linked to the domination of a mindset dominated by the construction of #markets as a general social panacea, the instrumentalisation of public life, the privileging of #corporate interests & the domination of a thin understanding of the good life....
if this is neoliberalism, then that is the the problem.
Whatever; the UK needs a major rethink about its socio-economic model(s)
