Britain's economic trajectory will soon see it overtaken by Poland (opens in new tab)

Poles used to come to England to do lower level jobs, pick fruit, clean houses. Definitely racism and resentment here. Old school European racism sees Eastern Europeans as a lower level white, a concept I don’t think a lot of Americans are familiar with. There were white slaves back in the day too. It’s where the word comes from; the Slavic people.

Well, it would be quite noteworthy from a historical perspective. Has Poland ever been ahead of Britain economically in the past 1000 years? Poland periodically gets chopped up by its neighbors, WW2 was the 4th time the same thing happened and also I believe Poland was significantly more destroyed than Britain during WW2. They are fairly disadvantaged geographically, no moat to speak of. Their economy suffered under communism until around 30 years ago. I don’t think any racism is required to be surprised at the prospect of Poland overtaking Britain economically.

The Labour leader at the time of the referendum was luke warm about remaining at best. So much so I doubt he voted to remain despite what he said. He had a long history of criticism of the EU.

Actually, Jeremy Corbyn was pro Brexit as far as I can remember. Theresa May was a pro remain for example.

Gina Miller was the only one fighting against Brexit she even decided to vote in favour of libdem for the first time instead of labour…

So yeah… sorry but labour position was pro Brexit

The line of Per Capita Economic Output is unironically one of the most important lines in existence. One could argue that every single line that's better than it is also harder to measure.

PPP isnt static either. Youd expect as a country becomes more developed the purchasing power gets less as less as coet of living goes up.
