Apparently we (The UK) are in the top 6 of the worlds wealthiest nations.
And the US is still No1 followed behind by a new entry, China at No2.
We listen to our governments banging on about making Britain's economy strong after near financial ruin under Labour etc. Didn't we have a strong economy after years of Thatcher, but also had millions of disadvantaged people struggling to find work?
Look at the United States, richest country for most of the 20th century but still with some of the worst poverty seen in the western world.
I wont even start on China!
Look at us. Apparently the 6th richest nation on the Earth but a bunch of miserable, apathetic moaning ninnies who if not having a swipe at the Olympics, then will target the royal engagement. Or failing that will blame their lack of contentment on the foreigners!
Canada. Great place to live and raise a family. Number 11 on the wealth table.
Holland, No 16.
I'd rather live in Australia to be honest and funny enough that's well down the wealth table at No14.
