      Indeed.
      Except you and AtW. You two will somehow contrive to be the only poor people in the village.
      Hard Brexit now!

          Its GDP per capita that matters, not GDP. I reckon the best off people in a future with growing shortages of fuel and food will be those with the smallest populations (and nuclear weapons for defence) that can be self sufficient in both. A UK population of 10m would be about right.

            GDP is vanity, GDP per capita is sanity.

            Based on GDP, GDP of Afghanistan is three times that of Monaco.

              Is that the same City powerhouse Arbuthnot that managed to post a stratospheric £0.2 million profit for six months work?

              Must be worth taking note of what they say ...

                Should Cuk take a lead on this and begin a cull?
                Obviously agents are vital so we keep them.
