@SlushMuppyPup23 2/ The OECD say not to use Ireland’s gdp figures as they are so misleading and distorted. Even the CSO itself stopped using GDP and made a GNI as it was so distorted. A tax haven preaching to other countries about success is sickening.
@SlushMuppyPup23 1/ Tanked the economy is misleading - UK still the 5th biggest in the world, mostly unchanged for 60 years amazingly. It is a fact Ireland’s prosperity is originally rooted in attracting multinationals as a tax haven.
@MyNameIsCFSC@80_mcswan Where would you draw the line though? Could Cornwall become independent? The old German kingdoms? Venice? Sicily? Before you know it western civilisation would be a laughing stock compared to the great powers in the east.
@pe_nng You’re wrong. Remember steel and air are cheap. These didn’t cost much more than an invincible mk2 would have but have more adaptability and upgrade ability. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
@MyNameIsCFSC@80_mcswan EU not a country tho obviously? Of course it’s a democracy - but international
Law is clear an integral part of a democracy has no right to self determination as it already exercises that proportionally. The old German kingdoms have no right to secede?
@thomasforth Incorrect. Per capita is not the ‘economy’, at least be clear on that. But Yes, largely as England’s gdp per capita was suppressed by the short term data effect of the new migrants - ‘boriswave’. Now migration has come down gdp per capita is picking up nicely.
@happymonkey1874 The irony is the nats would get what they want if they just had some serious thinkers in their ranks not so many nutjobs like this. Utterly not serious.
@hanifleylabi Then how come my ancestry dna test said what % English I was? lol this is so uninformed. It’s complicated, but English descent identifiable in genes is clearly real.
@RasSquidly@donmcgowan I’m mostly English, which yes itself is a mix of Celtic and angles and Saxons, who themselves are mixes of other precious peoples / tribes.
