Unfortunately I don't think it's just Britain. I've seen this same sort of mentality gain traction all over Europe, my own Nordic country as well. Although Britain does seem to have a headstart into conservative dystopia.
The "Russians are lazy and have too many holidays" has been a talking point of our (Russian) homegrown liberals for years. So I agree, it's not just Brits, it's all capitalist countries. Some are just quicker with implementation
Happens in India too.
Guess all capitalist systems inevitably follow the same logic, huh? I wonder if a certain bearded fellow would write a book about it
