The current open-door policy and unrestricted  neoliberal privatisation is leading to higher levels of tax evasion, demand for more housing (driving prices out of the reach of young people), severe extra strain on the environment, traffic congestion, longer GP waiting lists, lower educational standards, higher income taxes, lower wages, higher unemployment, loss of local identity, a breakdown in community spirit, more restrictive policing, higher council taxes, a shortage of council homes, higher levels of stress and unhappiness and a more atomised society.
