A little back ground on the Daily Mail
Quote:The Mail has traditionally been a supporter of the Conservatives and has endorsed this party in all recent general elections.
The paper is generally critical of the BBC, which it says is biased to the left.
The article itself is completely meaningless biased drivel. It is based solely on forecasts by economists which are notoriously inaccurate. (in 1990 they forecast that within 20 years Brisbane would be bigger than Melbourne. In 2012 they forecast that there was no end in sight for the resources boom).
Even the central claim that the economy of the UK has overtaken "socialist" France is wrong.
Quote:The growth in Britain’s national accounts was aided by the decision of the Office for National Statistics to include earnings from the previously uncharted economy of drugs and the sex trade. The French figures do not yet include these industries.
And then there is this gem
Quote:And the analysis also claims that within the next two decades, Germany, held back by a declining population and the weakness of the euro, could be overtaken by the UK for the first time since 1954.
So the UK will overtake Germany due to it's growing population.
A population that's growing due to IMMIGRATION.
