How did Brexit affect the mental health of ethnic minority youth? - Economics Observatory

Research evidence suggests that the UK referendum on whether or not to remain in the European Union had uneven social consequences. Younger people from ethnic minorities living in areas of the country with stronger support for Brexit experienced a deterioration in their mental health after the vote.

CPC-CG's Bernice Kuang, a research fellow in #demography at the University of #Southampton, claimed #Londoners still wanted to have an average of two #children, but that this was not feasible for many in the #capital.

She blamed a shift from #socialhousing to private #renting in inner #London, adding that "private rented accommodation is not seen as the place to start a #family".

Parking on pavements is sociopathic. Parking in cycle lanes is sociopathic. Parking in front of traffic lights is sociopathic. Obstructing a bus route is sociopathic. So this Comax driver in #Southampton can be proud to be top of the high-score table.

White van marked "Comax", phone number 01202 684111, is parked fully across a pavement at a busy road junction leavinf only enough room for an able-bodied slim person to squeeze past, outer wheels parked on the road edge of a cycle lane, blocking sight of traffic lights.
