I think it’s all lovely, but not sure how we pay for all you highlighted above; even if in spirit poverty, education etc... should be priorities just as public safety, health etc...But seriously, I feel that nowadays health, social care, benefits, etc should be outside politics, they can deal with defence, economics, fiscal policy etc but I don't think its fair to balance the last three against the first three. I think if people didn't have massive issues and beefs with how they have to live in this current environment Brexit wouldn't matter at all, or at least be a side show of little interest.
Who remembers the previous referendum on EU membership? I do, 1975 was it, no one really gave a *****, cos although the was a massive gap in social standing, people didn't really know, it was a different world nothing to do with us. Now with social media and general awareness of ordinary people people can see how they are being trampled on.
Ironically it seems to me the capitalist consumer machine is destroying itself, now we can all see how the other half lives with smartphones for everyones, information for all, all good things, but it makes proles self-aware, not what the machine wants.
Above makes me sound like a Commie, I'm not, I studied the USSR after uni and whilst the USSR was never communist, it was socialist on the way to true communism, it was all a load of ******** either way.
So I don't have an answer, but I lived in Denmark, a socialist state, and I never saw one homeless person apart from one person at the North Tivoli entrance, rumour in CPH was he liked it, I never saw any friction, or anyone knick my MacBook which I left on the tables outslde the bar an the assurance that 'this is Denmark, no one will steal it' No one did...
Wrong. Sorry. Thanks for playingBrown. No question.
I think it’s all lovely, but not sure how we pay.... I am not sure the country is willing to cough up tax increase...
Where is the fried bread in this breakfast?

The truth then is that you cant....
Developed world...? Apparently not very. Not really. Unable to afford to help the weak to help themselves...
Some of the, arguably, most pressing issues facing humanity are extremely unlikely to be overcome without combing resources, whatever they are. And that isnt served by isolationist deconstruction, of which Brexit is a prime example...!
Oh bu99er...i said brexit.
Discussing Gold in GBP is technically meaningless, as it is officially quoted in USD. Hence your comment includes Fx fluctuation.
It’s a bit like saying that the Apple stock translated in £ hasn’t really moved... you’d need to look at the $ price and the FX translation as well before you can make that statement
Or may be I am just a finance nerd
So tempted to drop in for a full Irish on the way to the office this morning, stressed by two opposing threads
A bit of this needed I reckon.
