I'm sorry, but that's a load of nonsense.
maybe I'm biased by, you know, having LIVED in the UK for several of
the last ten years, but I'd say the average standard of living is
higher than, for example, the average standard of living in the USA
where I am now resident. Sure, there are some people suffering
intently from poverty, but unlike many countries there is at least a
decent welfare safety net that can get you back on your feet.
I'm hardly a die-hard patriot, but your suggestion that the UK is a
dwindling economy soon to perish is a load of nonsense.
