WHAT makes a healthy, functioning and cohesive society? I think it’s one where the following factors are present: the state prioritises people who are from that state, whose families have contributed to that state, when distributing scarce goods such as social housing; people who rely on the state, in turn, actively contribute to that state by working and paying tax so that others can benefit from the same support; people identify with the main identities of that state, such as feeling British or English; and people can speak the main language in that state.
