    joint with Cornwall & isles of Scilly at 64%
  • Yes, Scotland is included. See the link in #21.

    Thanks, but is your link the data used for the OP's article.

    I note that Vienna is no9 in the OP but doesn't factor in your linked report.
    Same with some other areas

    What bunch of politically blinkered shills thought they'd achieve anything by pointing out GDP by region and pretending they were talking about richest and poorest?

    There's clearly an issue if 9 of the least productive per capita regions in their sample are in the UK, but the issue doesn't have anything to do with wealth or earnings.

    All I know about 'West Wales' is from the MTV show 'The Valleys'

    All I have to say is, that place has serious problems :)
    Faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

    The UK has 9 of the 10 poorest regions in Northern Europe, yet many illegal immigrants which are already in the what is so call richest region in Europe (e.g Belgium, France, Italy) want to be snuggled in the Lorry risking their life to come to UK.

    Something does not add up here .....

    The area they covered didn't include Italy, no need to make things up to rubbish the article.

    I followed the links through from the OP. The data includes the whole EU but the article from the OP compares particular parts of the data (ie what it considers Northern European countries) against each other. There are many south European countries in there which come out looking a lot worse...
