It isnīt a new thing, its been slowly building up over the last 5 years or so.

Businesses cant cope, the rest of the world has caught up in the Manufacturing, Farming, in fact most sectors.

House prices have been at an unaffordable rate for far too long.

Tax increases cannot be justified ie: no noticable improvements in local areas.

Debt is at an all time high, and the cost of living just keeps increasing.

IMO the Country is heading for a huge divide, those above the divide line will continue a rich, fruitful lifestyle, and likely to work around World Trades.
Those below the divide will sink into a slow recession.

Why are so many Brits fleeing abroad? I feel its not just for sunnier climates.

Just my opinion of course.
