Also even more repressive nations than the UK (so far)...

And can you tell us what these nations have that the UK doesn't?

Here's a hint - natural resources!

Brexiteers didn't think about that one did they!

The UK has c. 400 yrs' worth of coal reserves (although made a "environmentally-conscious" decision to not exploit them, some years ago).

Also (source: Wikipedia):

"The UK has large coal, natural gas, and oil reserves; primary energy production accounts for 10% of GDP, one of the highest shares of any industrial nation. Due to the island location of the UK, the country has great potential for generating electricity from wave power and tidal power, although these have not yet been exploited on a commercial basis."


"primary energy production accounts for 10% of GDP, one of the highest shares of any industrial nation. "


There may also be substantial oil reserves within the Falkland Islands' basin.

I also keep hearing about our fortunate circumstances, with regard to wave and tidal power, if / when we harness them.

I hear the Jerrys burn rather a lot of coal, whilst lecturing other countries like Poland about the pollution it causes.

Can you tell us how much income/taxes the UK received?

Poor Bodd answers a question that wasn't asked.

Thats $3.2bn to UK Payments to shareholders, lenders and investors - - can you tell me what the ownership of those funds is - if you want to be precise we need to determine how much of those disbursements remain in the UK.
