London is changing, and so is the south of England. Estate agents report relocations to such commuter-belt towns as Broxbourne in Hertfordshire, Reigate in Surrey and Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. Nonetheless, what is happening looks set to deepen the sense of England as a whole being an ever-more imbalanced country. They don’t live like you, they don’t have families like yours, and they don’t think like you. If we do not, we risk a future that will be not just bleak, but politically impossible.
