    As it happens GDP per capita IS higher in Norway than the UK so I think you stumbled into a correct answer by mistake
    Of course GDP is higher you moron. The wealth of any nation is measured in GDP per capita.

    Work down the list and choose the country you most like near the top, that's where you will enjoy (on average) the most wealth as a person.

    You might notice that the immigrant filled and mostly tulipe UK is 27th.

        OK, tell me what the GDP pc would be for the UK if we had the same GDP (which is rubbish of course) and removed all the immigrants.

        It wouldn't make a massive difference, because your opinions are based on prejudice rather than facts.

        And calling me a moron for pointing out something you got wrong is a little hypocritical. Maybe you should take the time to use proper metrics in the first place.

As for ethnic diversity support - seems reasonable to me after slavery and the asset stripping British Empire.
          The British disease of self loathing guilt (paid for of course by others) is alive and well I see. We may have had a lot of gold and oil but if any of it was squandered then it would have been by governments.

          Out of interest if your great great grandfather was proven to have been a slave trader would you fork out money from your own pocket to "help out" the poor descendants of slaves?

            This is why I think good luck to the baby boomer generation, and tough tulip to the Facebook generation. Suck it up losers.

              It is unproductive because there is a lack of pride and work ethic in the benefit spongers side of society. Give them to me, and I would have them fixing pot holes etc. work, education, or national service; but no free ticket. A real lack of vision as to where we are heading in the uk is a problem. There is no go to the moon. We need that, and people need to think they are working towards that. Today's youngsters, all they see is debt debt debt debt debt debt debt. Well that's a real inspiration and motivator!

              I don't know the solution to migrants; but we are not alone in that problem.
              Cliche wail, Cliche wail. This is what the wailing left do all the time

              Just try and talk us through what this means exactly with examples and solutions/alternatives A real lack of vision as to where we are heading in the uk is a problem

                  Sharia is where we are heading, the only question is when
                  Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                  No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                    I'm heading to Spain in the next few years, so don't really give a tulip where the UK is heading.

                      well we would have 13% less people, as studies have shown the majority of migrants contribute little more than they take it would make a significant difference.

                      Your opinions as usual seem to be based on blind faith rather than facts.

                      I assume the high value migrants would still be welcomed just as they are in Australia.
                      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
