Spend very little on healthcare and the NHS is remarkably efficient. If I got cancer it would cost less to treat than in any other system in the world.

The sticking point is housing. There are two types of people in Britain those who own property and those who don’t own property and in reality my maintenance costs are not mine they are the rent-seeking behaviours of a grossly inefficient housing market. Labour carries the property owning class in this country and their expenses are passed down to us.

On a personal level I cost little to maintain. The value of consumer good I consume is relatively low and the portion of my income not expropriated by a landlord and his Thai bride is saved for investments.

Do I include my share of the national debt and the cost of servicing it?

If you discount the landlord and the older generations debts then yes I’m an inexpensive person to keep.

Brexit will effect my maintenance costs too but it’s unclear how and to what extent.

There’s every chance the result of hard Brexit will be lots of browner immigrants coming in from outside the EU and less quality control at the border. Now that China has evolved into something strong the old forces look for a great new field of sweatshops to be opened up believing that if they sweat the people’s of the earth brutally enough they can consume their way to success. Doing so would most probably produce a roaring 2020s until it all blows up in our stupid face.
