That's us, brexit means born to lose.

Our sporting prowess achievements also disappearing in line with our national decline.

Becoming a bit player in the World.

It wasn't a warning. It was a statement of fact.

The UK will have to accept that it can't compete and will fall further behind competing with countries like this unless there is a massive cultural change in the local UK populattion that will need to accept lower pay and higher productivity. Otherwise, we'll continue to see exactly what's decsribed in that news article. That's when the truth about non western countries is revealed. There is a very different work ethic in countries such as India. That work ethic is and will continue to undercut that of countries like the UK. India has and is continuing to become a high tech economy, I know, I've been there on business and they have massive momentum in these industries. Edited by europalace (15 Jul 2018 12.38pm)

The real wealth of a country is in its living standards and India has some of the worst poverty in the world. We were giving this country actual aid up until recently.

Still lots of low cost and educated labour in India in high tech industries such as technology. That's where the growth is now and into the foreseeable future. If you can do that with a large, low cost work force then you win. India is perfectly placed for that and then China will follow after India. Edited by europalace (15 Jul 2018 2.00pm)

The right to work long hours for relatively low pay and to perhaps buy some of the luxuries that Westerners can afford. Hardly likely the government or companies involved will invest money in raising general living standards in these countries. Luxembourg has a sh!t economy by your argument - where would you rather live, work and raise your family: India, China or Luxembourg?. Red and Blue Army!

But this was about comparing these countries to western nations. Also, automation is going to destroy this advancement for these countries. Investment will re-direct to less corrupt societies.
