Don't give into the pessimism.
I have to say this, because honestly it annoys me to no end.
When I see posts on here or youtube or X that say "the UK is finished!" or "Our country is gone!" or "London has fallen!" or some other such nonsense, I want to give those people a slap.
The UK has NOT fallen. We are still here and still going strong.
Sure, some parts of the country aren't as pretty as they used to be. Our economy is in desperate need of repair, and our leaders are incompetent idiots who continue to treat this nations people like an after thought but that won't be forever, not if we have our say. Other nations around the world has managed to claw their way back from the brink of even worse circumstances.
I'm thinking of Korea after the Japanese occupation where Koreans were tortured and murdered and their women turned into sex slaves for the Japanese. The Spanish after the muslims occupied their country for around 800 years. Poland was completely ruined after Germany sacked and devastated their homeland during WW2, and look at them now!
My point is I won't allow myself to be swallowed by this vile funk of doom that some people are desperate to perpetrate. The UK is a great country, one my family has given blood to defend. I'm proud to be English/Scottish/Welsh and I'm not giving up on it.
