I'm an American and I can talk about the same things, nearly word for word (Jobseekers allowance notwithstanding) and feel exactly the same way.
Something is wrong with the economy, not just in the UK, but in America and probably a bunch of other countries. Where is the prosperity, if its there, why is it not more widely shared? is it a single cause, or is the cause manifold?
I have some ideas as to the answers to these questions (and its not capitalism is bad), but I too am just an engineer, not an economist. The unrest that propels populism is real. It's clear the status quo isnt working for the majority.
