  • a trade war that has been continuing for over 20 years
  • extremely high property prices continually being sold to foreign investment firms
  • an agricultural industry formally based upon small business family farms now being funnelled into a few small foreign hands
  • a loss in political influence over our neighbours due to a global superpower pushing us out
  • an education system focused on providing greater care for exchange students than educating an increasingly stupid at home population

would you like me to go on?
