  • The Leave Referendum, Brexit negotiations and the actual Brexit.
  • Pretty much every single day of the government of Boris Johnson.
  • All the shit that came out in the Snowden Revelations about the "worse than the Stasi" level of civil society surveillance UK .
  • The causes and handling of the 2008 Crash in Britain.
  • The British participation in the second Iraq War which was amongst other things deemed Pillage (a war crime) in the report from the Comission on the Iraq War and the subsequent absence of accountability of British decision makers involved.
  • The current government arresting people as "Terrorist supporters" for demonstrating against the Gaza Genocide.
  • The pure propaganda BBC coverage on the Gaza War.
  • The entire Corby "anti-semitism" slander campaign including the pure propaganda BBC coverage as well as the time they basically called a Jewish Holocaust Survivor an anti-semite to try and slander Corbyn by association.
  • The ongoing crackdown on the right to demonstrate since at least 2010.

These are just the biggest ones (not including the long-running shit-show called The Royal Family). Plenty of smaller insane shit can be found in British newspapers quite regularly.

British politicians haven't been serious and minded for at least 2 decades, probably more.

Great image management and projection of a posh image, whilst totally taking the piss out of just about everybody but a handful of people in their making of policy.
