Oct 26th, 2014 - 01:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0Originally a poem,
http://www.bbc.co.uk/poetryseason/poems/jerusalem.shtml
In 1916, the then Poet Laureate, Robert Bridges, asked the composer Sir Hubert Parry to set it to music as a hymn.
It's the unofficial 'national anthem' of the English, well at the rugby anyway (!) and of the WI.

Check the headline “discovery of new field in UK Central North Sea”
These are the Isles to which I was refering.
UK GDP 2013? The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the United Kingdom was worth 2522.26 billion US dollars in 2013.
The United Kingdom has the 5th-largest national economy in the world (and 2nd-largest in Europe) measured by nominal GDP and 7th-largest in the world (and 2nd-largest in Europe) measured by purchasing power parity (PPP).
The exploration and extraction will be carried out by private companies who will pay tax to the UK Exchequer, and also secure jobs and create more wealth. BP, along with co-venturers, is undertaking a £10bn investment program in the North Sea.
Do you remember private companies? Has Cristina expropriated them all yet?
“the technology and the expertise??
LOL”
How is La Vaca Muerte coming along? Any argentine technology and expertise involved?
from the uk, only scotland could be considered a 1st world country.
Oct 26th, 2014 - 03:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0sadly, they have the bad luck of being parasitized by england, the only 3rd world country in europe.
that´s why they have to get their independence, the sooner the better.
Its been a long long long time since YPF announced any new fields. Remember idiot Diego saying everyone was making a fortune in VM? Yet he could never really explain how since there's not been any significant finds produced.

he hasn't done so yet.
So once more, for those in the cheap seats, and/or hard of thinking...
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the United Kingdom was worth 2522.26 billion US dollars in 2013.
3rd world?

Gossip and speculation. Poor polly is so easily influenced by anything he reads that might suit his prejudices.
Oct 26th, 2014 - 07:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Typical laziness, can't be bothered to provide links, expects others to do the work for him.
Do any of them show PROOF that the UK actually IS a Third World Country based on any current definition. Let's have a look at his sources:
Here is one his examples, with the link:
“Facing relegation: Why Britain's 'undeveloping' economy means the country COULD [not IS] be about to join the Third World”
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article.../Why-Britain-join-Third-World.html
Daily Mail (a tawdry rag) June 10, 2012 - outdated opinion, not fact. Its says might/could in the future. Not is currently, and a lot of racist crap to boot.
and the next;
“Third world Britain? That's an aspiration, not an insult”
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2010/sep/20/third-world-britain-sartre-mandela
A comment piece, not factual journalism, about how the term 'third-world' has been used as a cricticism/insult when things go wrong. Also about how the third world is improving. Guess paulie didn't actually read it!
and another;
“Former 'Great' Britain Now A Third World Country - India Is The Future”
11 Oct 2013
Some random blog. Not FACT, just opinion.
Funnily enough, the link below it on Google was this
“Why Britain’s economy will overtake Germany’s”
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2010/sep/20/third-world-britain-sartre-mandela
A highly credible and respected journal.
one more;
“Britain’s third-world economy Relegation for Albion”
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2010/sep/20/third-world-britain-sartre-mandela
Ahh! The globally respected The Economist! Could paulie finally have found something credible?
ummm... no. Sadly this turns out to be a book review from July 28th 2012
Hilariously the book is entitled, wait for it....

”UK GDP 2013? The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the United Kingdom was worth 2522.26 billion US dollars in 2013.

You can look on Wiki, or many other sources.
You stated that the UK is a Third World Country.
I proved you wrong. Very, very easily.
You failed. I don't why you keep making these idiotic statements. It only makes you look more and more foolish. Equally, your random vitriol and hate-filled posts only decreases what little respect that you once had from others here.
There is obviously no point engaging with you if your behaviour continues in this manner.

instead of trying to help those children, they prefer to deny everything.
what can you expect when they have the iq of a dead slug?
“There are currently 3.5 million children living in poverty in the UK. That’s almost a third of all children. 1.6 million of these children live in severe poverty . In the UK 63% of children living in poverty are in a family where someone works .”
Why do you care?

oh to be an Argentinian,
with so much prestige why even bother with a 3rd rate country like Britain,
unless someone is brainwashed..
“Perhaps he will tell us, that in Argentina they have no poverty, full employment,

au contraire, i am the first in recognizing that this country is a mess, and that this government made everything even worse.

Oct 29th, 2014 - 04:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I would not dispute the figure of the numbers living in “poverty” and it is a disgrace that this is so. However it depends what your definition of poverty is.
Does it mean people living under tarpaulins by the roadside with no access to medical care as they do in India or Africa ? NO.
I would venture to say that the figures for Argentina are as bad or worse.
So, a poverty stricken 3d world country like Britain is required to fork up another £1.7 billion to keep countries like Spain rolling along.
Ha ha, he never learns.
Oct 29th, 2014 - 07:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0you lot mix everything without any criteria.
Oct 29th, 2014 - 09:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and it is not a competition, you dunderheads.
argentina has a lot of problems with poverty, but nobody, except the government, denies them.
we are in fact a 3rd world country with all their implications.
now, england or the leftovers of the uk is the second most indebted country in the world after the u.s., but without any of their resources.
add to that the 13 million people living under the poverty line, and you will have enough proof to understand why they are a 3rd world country too.
guess you lot should stop reading this 4th class newspaper and try with more serious ones.
and read the definition of 3rd world country too.

I did read the definition of a 3d world country and could find no reference to the UK in this. Would you care to fill in this, obvious to you, glaring omission on my part.
.poverty.ac.uk/definitions-poverty/absolute-and-overall-poverty
This does not seem to equate with recognisable poverty in the UK.
If it makes you feel better by taking your mind off YOUR problems, keep up your vindictive spleen by all means. We first worlders will politely ignore your chanting and get on with our lives.
Poverty is defined by many subjects and reasons, and by circumstances,
Oct 29th, 2014 - 10:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 048, you tell us by what means you define poverty
compared to the uk,
some define it by the minimum wage, or household income others not,
you can find poverty anywhere, if you look hard enough.
