Our GDP per capita is now lower than Lithuania, just another brexit benefit.

Lithuania GDP Per Capita: $28,094

UK GDP Per Capita: $46,371

Brexit (and moreso post-GFC austerity) have been actions of brain-dead economic self-harm, but I don't know where you got your numbers from here. Even PPP adjusted the UK is ahead.

It was from this, a clip from BBC Question Time I confess I did not fact-check it myself, I allowed myself to believe that a peer and former tory minister would quote correct figures.

You have no fucking clue what you're talking about. If you think that life is bad in the UK, you'd die from starvation in Lithuania.

Lithuania is actually doing pretty fine for itself. Haven't heard of any people starving to death there. Might drop some sources for that?

Numbeo.com for numbers, personal experience as well. Lithuania might be doing ok, but it's nowhere near how good the UK is doing. Thus anyone struggling in the UK would be dead in Lithuania.

Oh alright. I misunderstood your comment then. Yes, I agree with you.
