Why are our CUK expatriates of such low quality?

The median wage in the UK is higher than in Germany.

And the unemployement rate in the Uk was lower till recently.

Did I mention Germany? I don't think I did. You really have a bee in your bonnet about the place don't you.

Thanks for proving my point regarding numeracy and analysis skills.

Which is what exactly? That you overestimate yours by a factor of 10^45? Mr Dunning & Mr Kruger would have a field day with you.

A few months ago you were telling us that the UK is doomed. Now you're extolling the virtues of UK Plc from the town hall steps.

Which is it?

We are doomed but will emerge from doom faster than the Euro zone.

But a while ago you were saying that we wouldn't recover at all. Is that still your view?

I'm cheered by some of the Tory policies. It doesn't look as though the Lib Dens are watering anything down at all, as I feared.

Incorrect. I've noticed a common theme among all our expats.

They are all enjoying their lives?

Oh I don't know I seem to be getting plenty of positive rep for this thread

Sorry fella rep you give yourself with your sockies does not really count. (well obviously it does actually count because the board cannot disinguish between real people and sockies but you get the point).

I think it's because the ski season has just started.

What's the difference between an expat someone who's emigrated?

As long as we're expats there's hope that our skills might return to the UK to help heal the wounds.

Once the brain drain remains is indistinguishable from the gelatinous muss that is trapped between two slices of bread in a Gregg's sandwich I might return my extreme capitalist ways to the UK. Maybe.

It is the 'not only shall I succeed but the rest must fail' mentality turned on its head.
