    Especially given we are mainly a service and tech country......
    simplistic but generally:

    productiveness = The number of hours worked / taxes collected

      Due to the increasing wealth gap.

      Opps. Those terms are too complex for you. You are an UberCretin. I will leave you to work out why......

        Ok - has a few basic flaws but I am sure you can find them yourself!

If Spain introduced the same reforms you've seen in Germany or the UK their unemployment would drop like a stone.
          Ok.

          So what about Italy and Greece?

            Frictionless trade not possible outside the single market

            Brexit delusions coming home to roost.

                That would kinda contradict most of the arguments about immigrants stealing our jobs and living off handouts.
                …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                  Barnier spelling out some home truths:

                  Withdrawal without agreement on future trade arrangements would mean “very cumbersome” customs procedures for businesses, with UK companies facing delays of three to four days, rather than a few hours, on every export of goods to the EU, requiring them to invest more of their resources in warehouses, storage and transportation.
                  The Brexit car crash is in full swing.

                    The Brexit car crash is in full swing.

                    There will be a deal, and the UK will have to choke down some freedom of movement and ECJ pole.

                      Nah, those cretins will deliver the Brexit that people clearly wanted - control of borders innit, a few dozen suspects thrown out of country at cheap cost of 3-4 days queues at border

                      A decade of that and 79% will vote to accept euro zone, metric system and French/German as second official language
