“The shock of arrival from India to Britain …”: The Portuguese author admires the efficiency of India

When the philosopher and author Bruno Machis took the British Airways flight in Gatwick, he did not expect a seven -hour delay. Especially after five trips throughout India – all on time, “to the minute”.

What followed it was not just waiting for a loved one at the airport. It caused a deeper comparison. “The shock of coming from India to Britain is great,” wrote on X. “Nothing really works in Britain.”

MAçães viral function is not without the basis. Britain recently faces increasing cracks in basic services.

The travel of the train is the latest injury. During the Easter Bank (from April 18 to 21, 2025), the UK rail network will undergo the main planned disorders as part of the Blitz Network Rail at a value of 86 million pounds.

This includes critical road works such as London Auston to Milton Keynes, Southampton -Varham’s line and London Victoria’s services. Although it is necessary, engineering works will stop hundreds of services and redirect millions of passengers.

The airports were not better. Gatwick Airport, where MAçães has been waiting for the delay in British Airways flight, has seen multiple disturbances in recent months. On April 3, Easyjet’s London Gatwick to Lyon Flight was one of several delay. Close roads on the M25 and Record Holiday Sungestion – 21 million expected smuggled trips – increase the exacerbation of the situation. Air traffic control issues across Europe affected more than 36 million passengers last year, as Ryanaire claims.

At the same time, pharmacies are fighting another crisis. It was an increasing list of medications-including diabetes, hyperactivity disorder drugs and attention shortages-in the event of a shortage of symptoms since 2021. As of April 2025, the TEVACOL pumps is stopped, and major treatments such as the APO-G are completely stopped.
