Actually once didtorted through the prism of Daily Telegraph rightie twaddle it is. france and the UK have long been in 8th or 9th respectivekly. I'm sure at the some point it will be swapped again. You will note it is the UK, not Britain as the paper claims. You will alsi note that the UK lags behind Italy and it;s manufacturing is almnost three times lower than Germany. To include " but with the growth of the service sectors, the denominator has multiplied many times over." Sevices, are manufacturing ? It oes not mention that France has a population 3m less than the UK, Italy with greater manufacturing output has 5.6m less population. Pf course the ragbag of cap doffers and the deluded will not be expected to look beneath this vacuous claim, and will congratulate themselves that some how brexit was right. My four year old bneice has grown more than I have in the past year. Should I now claim that she is taller than me ? |  |
