Hunt was very much right.

£100k pa if you have kids and a wife that doesn't work, doesn't go very far if you live in the London and the SE.

I earn more than that and our kids think we're peasants.

Everyone I know with a family in or near London earns well above 100k.

The only people I know earning less are grads at my work and their in house shares in places like Dagenham or Croydon.

If anyone wanted to try and understand the much maligned term of globalism, they should take a look at that as a nice starter.

Poland and Ireland seem to be punching above their weight. Wonder why that is?

What’s the OECD’s ‘real gdp growth’ is that different to the GDP figure that the ONS produces every month and is the measure the Government uses?
Not convinced.

In summary, you don’t like those figures so you’re ’not convinced’, nice one.

The OECD get their data from National Accounts of all OECD countries who compile their accounts using the same method.

In the 1970s when I visited France and bought French Francs I have a vague recollection of the exchange transaction being recorded on a bit of paper in my passport.
The UK Government limited the convertibility of Pounds into foreign currencies until 1979 when the Thatcher Government abolished exchange controls.
This is what globalism means to me.
Brexiters "taking back control" you're having a laugh.

I recall that. You could not purchase foreign currency without a Passport.
Iirc, it was recorded in the back.

Conversely, one could change foreign currency back to Pounds Sterling without the need for a Passport.

So you can’t tell me what the OECD’s “real GDP growth” means?

Ireland undercuts the rest of Europe with its tax regime and allows American multi-nationals to base themselves there and funnel their European profits through Dublin. All is not what it seems to with the Irish economy and it will eventually end in tears for the Irish unfortunately.
Poland is very much in the ‘taking shedloads of German cash’ stage of its EU membership let’s see what transpires when they become a net contributor to the EU pot, thought to be within the decade.
