Re: "With the lowest unemployment rate in decades?"

@LDS

"So why vote to keep away those job-stealing foreigners?"

I didnt, did you?

"Which is the effect of a few countries were politicians kept on stubbornly to burn money to buy votes, that's true. Let's see what happens after UK leaves EU..."

That would be most countries. Hell even Germany and France ignored the budget rules when it suited.

"Think that Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic and Poland have lower unemployment rates than UK"

And my Polish neighbour was still happier to be here. Not a shock why since we are the 5th richest country. But thanks for pointing out how great our country is doing in comparison to the EU.

"What about GDP per capita, for example - and UK is probably a country with higher wealth concentration than others"

Its good news isnt it! Just think of those well paid people who are paying for all the services we use. And since lower Gini index is often the result of a poor country or recession then we should be proud we have success in this country. Romania for example might have lower unemployment (your example above) and they also have lower Gini too! They also have a much higher child deprivation index.

Also be aware that your complaint is that there is a higher wealth concentration in the UK. The wealth is concentrated in the UK. Would you feel better if these rich people move out of the country? Thats the way France did it, and we gained some wealth from France because of that too!
