This might be a good thing in a roundabout way. Whether we’re in danger or not doesn’t change based on whether we believe it, all it affects is our willingness to build our armed forces, which absolutely do need the investment.

We are less safe than 5 years ago, geopolitically speaking.
Ok, 5 years ago was the height of COVID, so on an individual level we’re probably safer now, but there was Joe Biden in the white house and Putin hadn’t invaded Ukraine, so the world order was in a more comfortable state.

I really don’t understand how a couple of users are having such an aversion to this polling.
5 years ago, Russia hadn’t launched its full scale invasion of Ukraine, Trump wasn’t President, Israel hadn’t destroyed half of Gaza, and Iran wasn’t looking to become a hot war.

To be fair, this is not unique to Britons. This reflects the reality that a very few people can do a lot of damage.

That’s because the media are warming us everything is bad, China, etc when the evidence doesn’t support it

I’m fairly sure if you polled people every 10 years the answer would always be that they ‘feel less safe’! As someone that grew up during the Cold War and used to get information from our government on how to survive an all out nuclear war I can confidently say pffft to the trivialities faced today! lol
