I keep saying - the cake is too small.
In another generation we'll be like Greece or Spain except without the family support that those countries have.
It all started with Thatcher who declared society dead, the individual and the free market supreme. Her intellectual heirs who included such unlikely bed-fellows as the Republican party and Blair and Brown's New Labour took that philosophy to its logical extreme, hence an economic collapse born of greed and hubris.
When this country learns that in the modern world there needs to be some form of consensus between the different stakeholders in society (what traditional Tories used to call one-nation conservatism) then there will be no hope.
Until that time, emigration seems to me the only option left if you want to avoid the dreary economic years ahead.
Emigrate to where exactly? Greece? property will be cheap at least.
Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone
