Is there anything positive about the future direction of England?

I'm starting to believe that England isn't a good place to settle and have a family. I just don't see anything positive about the direction England seems to be heading in. We've got a buckling NHS, nurses leaving the NHS, doctors leaving the country, teacher recruitment crisis, problems with end-of-life care, an increasingly socially fragmented growing population and a lack of affordable housing.
We're constantly being told that we're a secular country yet no one ever talks about the growth of Islam which comes with its own issues in terms cultural changes and integration. And then there's Europe's migrant crisis which will likely worsen as conflicts unfold and the effects of global warming become more apparent. It is inevitable that Europe will cop the side effects of these emerging problems in a big way.

All of this stuff concerns me and in recent months, I've really started to think that England won't be the place to be if you plan on settling down, having a family and leading a good life. I think the ordinary citizen of the future will be living in a very fragmented society with low levels of social cohesion and will face a far poorer quality of life than they would today. I think Islam will also have a far greater presence than what we're used to now and that will create further division and friction in society. They'll be more non-diverse enclaves established with places like Newham / Tower Hamlets existing in far greater numbers. We'll see greater pressure placed on services and resources, but we'll accept it as a consequence of diversity because of our infamous tolerance.

The future doesn't look bright from where I'm sitting. Maybe I'm just overblowing it or perhaps you can relate.

How do you feel about the future of England?

No, you began this with your stupid contribution to this thread. What has having degree, paying taxes, and having fewer health problems, and not claiming benefits have to do with being culturally integrated? A strict Muslim can satisfy all of those conditions and still be culturally segregated. But according to your definition he'd be well integrated into UK society.
No, I brought up money laundering to prove that Chinese people can be educated, have fewer health problems, not be on state welfare and be fundamentally dishonest people despite presenting the semblance of success.

And only 4 people despite the fact that Chinese immigrants have been in the UK since the late 1800s. Yeah, they're all about dat cultural integration.
