Hyper inflation of property values
Stagnant average wages
Declining GDP per capita
Reduced infant health (measured through a decline in average height)
The end of NHS dentistry
The almost collapse of the administrative function of the state
The on-the-brink of collapse of the judicial system

As a starter.
