Typical Guardian headline. The UK is in decline and has been in decline since the end of WW1. Nevertheless it is still a more attractive option to live in/move to compared to the majority of European countries
So says The Guardian.
We’re really not as exceptionally bad as our newspapers like to make out. Who is looking around the rest of Europe and going ‘Ah yes, everything looking good!’..
Entire continent is economically fucked.
You’ve got countries in the EU topping 20% inflation. Netherlands is at what, 15%?
Shits fucked.
No one is making it out of the next 18 months unscaved.
I respectfully disagree, imo the ottomans wannabes have took back the historic title of sick man of europe
I’ve only just finished reading similar news articles about Germany being the “sick man of europe”.
Every few weeks it’s some new country that’s apparently the worst thing to happen in the world.
Seriously. . This idiotic phrase needs to be dumped.
And yet half of Europe is trying to get into it, interesting
Has Britain ever not been the sick man of europe?
people keep saying this and of course r/Europe eats it up but the UK is still the 2nd largest economy in Europe, lol
We are definitely struggling and trade frictions have made that worse, but come on now, things are being overblown.
Our last quarterly GDP growth figure was -0.2% and +0.2% before that, Germany’s was +0.4% and +0.1%. Our last inflation figure was +11.1%, Germany’s was +10.4%, wage growth was +6%, Germany’s was -4.4%.
Are we really that uniquely fucked?
*The Guardian* strives to demoralise, divide and make Britain the ‘sick man of Europe’ again. Absolute waste of ink and tree for this rubbish.
If UK is the sick man what does that make russia, a dying moose or what
I think the health of a country should be decided by who’s willing to enter it illegally and how dangerously. Let’s face it, all the illegal immigrants don’t go to France because they want to live in France. They go there because they want to risk their lives crossing the channel to get to England. Makes you proud to be British.
