What a delightful article. My brother visited from Canada, where he can see multiple similarities with the UK in terms of distrust, depression and aftermath of deep trauma. The result is a lethargic mass, apparently unable to do the basic things and drifting whilst debt piles ever higher.

This article proves that humanity can pull through.

Dear Jane, I can appreciate apparent decay is upsetting and depressing to see. However, we need to act to keep what remains and to recover what has ben lost. I think back thirty years - and this still happens in more select areas - the 'standard'. It meant there was an expectation by others on how we behave, and so in essence respect for our fellow citizens. Once respect is destroyed, it is difficult to see how anything can be saved.
