The Vietnam War, a huge embarrassment for the US, went way better than this.
Imagine if instead of allying with the Vietnamese government (and still losing), the US had spent years failing to conquer Canada, whilst finding that even Russia was a willing ally of the incumbents.
That but worse.

If you're going to not have a home in London, Barnet is quite a nice area to not have it in.
It's odd – because, in the late 1940s, London was really working quite hard to address a shortage of affordable homes. It pretty much worked, too. Somehow either the will or the technology have been lost.

Justice delayed is society ashamed, or should be.
Being on remand for 5 years and then freed in half an hour – which in some countries is not the worst it can be – might feel a bad choice compared to a guilty plea and six months as a convict.

The NHS is part of an insurance system, although it has kind of grown out of it. The same system provided / provides pay to ill workers and support for their dependents, benefits whilst there was no work available, and a person if forced out of work due to injury or other disability.
…and more!

If you want to reduce pressure on the NHS, then the hard boiled utilitarian policy is to mandate vaccination for healthcare staff and tax it heavily for everyone else.
