D) Housing. Home ownership is getting expensive in some countries. The future looks bleak.

E) Crime. Low pay and levels of unemployment leads to an increase in crime.

F) Safety. Government policy over the last 50 years has made us all less safe.

Don't tell me you're all right. Look at all the graphs and calculate when it hits you. As for the "I will fight my way out of it" approach. So will 100,000 other people in your area.

There's one section who "Have never had it so good." That's not any of us.

And meanwhile people are worried about legalising pot. Give me a break, you are the problem.
A lot of people might argue that these are more along the lines of basic human rights and now freedoms per se.

I am talking about things where people say, "I would love to be able to do (instert whatever it is), but the government won't allow it."
