Destroy cultural integrity, national identity, create a low-trust society, become more authoritarian to manage low-trust society, import more immigrants at an exponential rate while house costs rise along with unemployment. The list keeps going. This is why far-right is surging on the polls. The country has completely lost all sense.

UK needs immigrants to increase stagnating productivity. this has been the case for decades and it's why no government has done, or will do anything serious to curb it.

>>12ian3+3X
Yes, but only total GDP goes up. GDP per person goes down.

>>gadder+Th1
GDP per capita in the UK is still lower than it was in 2008.

Gen Z have never experienced economic growth. They don't know what it means to get richer.

I remember when Gordon Brown promised "An end to boom and bust economics." I didn't that meant realise no more booms.

In the 90s in the UK, skilled working class tradesmen making huge amounts of money was such a stereotype that there was even a comedy character about it. I can't imagine seeing that happen again.
