.. And yet, when the Russians sent one eensy weensy little ship, you could not respond other than sending the one defending vessel from the far South.... Looks like all of your bluster on the boats is all for naught, doesn't it?
Most of those ships haven't even been built yet. It's impossible to send them when they are under construction.
Wait until they are built, though, and the RN will be the envy of the seas once more.
Canada's economy is doing just fine Blackie
This is just another example of Canadians being too arrogant to notice their stuttering economy and that Britain is now outperforming Canada.
Yeah, that's right. Britain is now outperforming Canada.
Whilst Britain's economy is now on the rise after a global economic downturn, Canada's is starting to wane.
Canada's debt stands at 66% of GDP - not much different to Britain's 75%. And the British are cutting their debt, whilst the Canadians aren't.
Canada's economy grew slower than expected in 2013 and is to do so again this year. Britain's economy grew FASTER than expected in 2013 and is to perform even more strongly in 2014.
In fact, this year is forecast to see stronger economic growth for Britain than for Canada - 2.0% for Canada compared to 2.4% for Britain, and this when Britain is still recovering from a worldwide recession.
Next year - 2015 - is forecast to see Britain's economygrow 2.6%.
2013 saw the Canadian economy grow at a less-than-Earth-shattering 1.7%. The British economy grew 1.9%.
As the CBI said, Britain is now on a steady growth path through 2015 and beyond.
As for unemployment, Canada's stands at 6.9% and the UK's at 7.4%. Yet Canada's uneomployment rate is forecast to RISE, above that of the USA, to 7.8% in 2014, whereas Britain's is forecast to FALL to 7.0% in 2014, to below that of Canada.
Just three days ago, however, it was revealed that Canada's economic outlook for 2014 is "too rosy".
Canada’s economic growth outlook too ‘rosy,’ says report | Financial Post
So whilst Canada's economy may be performing "just fine", it is now just starting to be outperformed by Britain, a country which actually took longer to recover from the global economic downturn than most other countries.
That must really hurt, especially considering that the UK has close to a 90% debt to GDP ratio.... Sadly, it will take decades, if ever, that you can pull your fat out of the fire.
UK's debt isn't close to 90% of GDP. It's around 75% of GDP, only a tad higher than Canada's.
After a period of financial restraint, from the mid-1990s, public sector debt at a % of GDP fell to just 29% of GDP by 2002. From 2002 – 2007, national debt increased to 37 % of GDP. This increase in debt levels occurred despite the long period of economic expansion; it was primarily due to the government’s decision to increase spending on health and education.
And national debt goes up and down all the time. Throughout most of the 1990s Canada's national debt was higher than the UK's.
In the meantime, you can enjoy cleaning-off human feces from your door step, compliments of the Roma that are flocking to the UK expecting to receive healthcare and welfare.
LOL
Which country is it that has the world's highest rate of immigration?
I'll give you a clue.
It begins with C and ends with A.
