Japan 0.9% in 2019, 0.7% in 2020, 0.6% in 2021.

Canada 1.9% in 2020, 1.8% 2021

According to the IMF, the Eurozone area GDP is forecast to be 1.3 in 2019, 1.5 in 2020 and 1.6 in 2024.

But you have been selective in your quotes. What about China (6.3/6.3/6.1), India (7.3/7.5/7.7), Sub Saharan Africa (3.5/3.7/4.0), Australia (2.1, 2.8, 2.6), Korea (2.6, 2.8, 2.9) for example?

So, yes.:D

We only punch anything these days as we're part of the largest trading block in the world. Once we leave we'll become even more insignificant. The Empire is gone, WW2 is over, this country needs to look to the future, not disappear down a hole of its own making. We'll be left with unskilled grumpy geriatrics, with no healthcare or young folk/tax/resources to look after them.

I thought the 1st and 3rd largest economies was fairly representative, but ymmv...

Spot on Mr K. ;) I'm concerned that my grown up "kids" will never get this opportunity that we currently take for granted.

If you have the skills they need then i don't see a problem,the same way i don't see a problem with EU citizens with skills working here,it's the no skill required jobs that will present a problem , all countries have an abundance of none skilled people of their own that need employing.
