We're not even as well off as Poland, at least the Poles don't have the crippling levels of foreign debt that we have.

If you or anyone wants to see just how far in the clag we are then here's a start to see the state that Britain is in relative to other nations in the world.

Just don't confuse economic activity with wealth. The British economic activity has not wealth but debt as its foundation, debt that we now can never repay on our own.

You want to read and analyse the data . Poland is still poorer than the UK, is solving its unemployment problems by the workforce emigrating and has to have hanouts from us to it via the EU.

Tell us why you think the EU is the solution to any problem we have.
