You’d think being an island might help a government keep tabs on who’s coming in and out. But no—Britain, proud seafaring nation that once ruled the waves, now struggles to stop dinghies from outwitting a multi-billion-pound border system. It’s like owning a gated mansion with no front door. And that’s just chapter one in the Encyclopedia of National Dysfunction.
🏚️ When Every System is a Fire, and the Fire Brigade is on Tea Break
Borders? Leaky.
NHS? Held together with sticky notes and coffee.
The economy? On a diet of zero growth and wishful thinking.
House of Lords? Ballooned to the size of a small music festival with fewer headliners and more robes.
Welfare? Traps more people than it helps, while penalising those who dare to work an extra hour.
Carer system? About as supported as a three-legged stool in an earthquake.
And behind each broken mechanism is a department—a title, a budget, a logo, a minister, and an excuse. This isn’t a government, it’s a live-action reboot of Yes, Minister, except the laugh track’s been replaced by the screams of taxpayers and overworked staff.
But fear not—another inquiry, review, or royal commission is surely on the way. That’ll sort it. Eventually. Maybe. Ish. 🎩📋🕰️

How much longer can a country run on vibes, slogans, and outsourced responsibility? When the basics aren’t basic anymore—when health, borders, and public trust collapse—what’s left to govern?
