More details
The country is at a crisis point as a result of the government's policy to support immigrants who enter the UK illegally. The housing system is under pressure. The benefits system is overwhelmed and driving the country towards bankruptcy. Theft, sexual assaults, terrorist connections and unsocial behaviour attributed to illegal immigration is making UK citizens feel unsafe. The Government seems to have no plan to deal with the crisis. Consequently, the country is on the verge of social unrest.
