Poland will be seeing coach full of British immigrants arriving to find work!! 😂😂😂

A bit rude to Poland. Good for them that their economy is doing well.

I can just imagine 3 Polish blokes sitting in a pub in 15 years complaining the British come over here, take the jobs and they dont even speak the bloody language!

Dude is talking about last 10 years. This trajectory is lasting for last 35 years. Not too bad for a nation that suffered communism, was a playfield for two world wars, was partitioned and wasn't granted a Marshall plan funds.

I'm not sure if I'm being oversensitive but to me it sounds a bit asholoish to say that "I'm not fine with the fact that polish economy might surpass UK economy". Is Poland supposed to stay always behind western Europe in order to make boomer English politicians happy?

Tbf Poland is a massive success story.

POLAND MENTIONED 🦅🦅🦅🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It is 2050 and the British are moving to Poland on mass to pick potatoes and clean toilets💪

Poland deserve to have a better economy , they work harder and the country is not full of freeloaders

August 1939 Polands economy was ranked 20th in the world . 1989 when Poland regained its freedom it was ranked ruffly the 100th biggest economy in the world . Getting back to where it used to be . Nothing shocking about it .

What surprises me is that "being overtaken by Poland" is used as an insult and sorce of complete disgrace; a bit like "being overtaken by cavemen." Is it just my wounded polish pride tallking, or is it a bit racist?

Go Poland! Love from Germany 🇩🇪🤍🇵🇱

Living in Warsaw last 2 years, Poland is incredibly doing well and with its educated, open minded people; well mannered culture; society respecting nature and others' background... it deserves to be far ahead in the game. Never experienced another country in Europe who is hungry to learn other (non-anglo saxon) identities and history

I'm English and moving to Poland next year

Congratulations to Poland 🇵🇱 for the amazing 30 years of growth the number one economic success story in Europe

OK, so the UK will always be 8% ahead of Poland. I can trade that for better housing standards, lower levels of crime, and better food.

Poland is one of two countries in Europe that i like 😂😂😂. Love Poland🇺🇲🇵🇱

tbh even if PL does not overtake the UK, having just an 8% gap between the two, with the context that PL only had a free market for 35 years, while the UK had one for centuries, is astonishing

Why GDP largely do not matter and is a flawed incicator? Living in both Uk and Poland i realized that Polish familly is doing way better than British one on average for some years now, 70% of the population in Poland owns an house or flat, have good car, way better services, better communication, better health care, polish cities are packed with bootics, restaurants, lots of small shops, something that i saw dissapearing from Uk's towns and i would argue the slaray purchase power is better in Poland as well in last 2-4 years. Visiting friends in both countries, polish houses looks clean and luxurious in comparison. I think Uk has failed to create a diversified economy, meanwhile holding to very generous social money giveaway festiwal, they could not afford long term and that was abused by lazy shits from abroad and lower society paracites that should be out there working. Shamely, Poland is doing the same, with each party throwing out new handouts for this and that bullshit...

I mean Poland used to be in the top 10 economies in the world, and biggest country in Europe at one point, but they suffered the Swedish Deluge in which 25% of them died in the 1600s, followed by partitions by Germany,Austria and Russia which then used their populace as conscripts to fight each other and their land was being used as the main battle ground on the eastern front of WW1, and more recently WW2 in which 20% of them died and Warsaw was erased off the map and had to be rebuilt brick by brick, not to mention 50 years of forced communism after. WW2 didn't even end in 1945 for Poland, while people were celebrating on the streets of London, Polish resistence fought the USSR into the 50s, so yes Poland after just 30 years of freedom and peace is getting back to where they naturally should be.

🇵🇱 Poland: hard-working people, no benefits, no Muslims, no obesity, highly educated and ambitious 💁‍♂️

I'm in Poland at the moment. The difference is clear: a young, dynamic, intelligent, hard-working and polite people with a clear pride in their nation (if the number of Polish flags is anything to go by). It makes Britain look tired and giving up. Not only will Poland's GDP be higher by 2030, its quality of life has already overtaken the UK, with cheap prices, affordable housing and great public transport. If we were still in the EU, I'd be happy to put down roots here.

What is the british obsession with Poland? Poland was left by allies France and the UK behind the iron curtain where it shouldn’t develop for the next 40 years, and now it’s catching up. Poland was never meant to be a poor country, it’s all about the history.

Worst case scenario Poland will be 8% behind the UK. That is, Poland will be marginally behind a former global superpower. As a Polish person, I rub my eyes in disbelief. But I’d rather Poland get there due to it’s success rather than UK’s misery.

In reality polish people’s are very hard working they deserve it .

We kicked the Poles out because of Brexit and invited thousands and thousands of Indians in, to replace them. Britain will end up an Indian colony. I have just returned from Poland. Feeling of safety and a country not wracked by the strictures of race and “inclusivity”. They are well versed in their tragic underdog history and are determined to protect their country, their identity and their traditions. We have thrown all that away through complacency.

Starmer : "If things continue the way they are, we will fall behind Poland" Sky News : "If things don't continue the way they are, we won't, so he's wrong"

Poland deserves the become a super power again. They are not stupid and focus on family and country first .

Brexiteers couldn't stand the sight of Polish people coming to this country working hard and contributing to our economy, so they have since gone home and are now contributing to their own economy.

UK being 8% wealthier than Poland in a realistic scenario will still be shocking to most Brits.

Poland deserve to be on the top, I've met many nice polish people are very hardworking and honest . No wonder why their country is thriving economically that quickly.

Slovenia's median standard of living has already overtaken Britain's according to the Financial Times. That's a better indication of the state of play than GDP per Capita. The FT also pointed out that, using the metric of Median Standard of Living, Poland will be overtaking Britain soon. This is what Brexit and fourteen years of miserable Tory failure has delivered for Britain; Eastern European living standards. Countries that were Communist until the 1990s are leaving Britain behind. Never thought I'd see the day... but here we are.

polish people work hard AF i worked with them in Germany , i am half french half arab these guys do not play lol

Love polish culture true christians from a Norwegian 🇳🇴✝️🇵🇱

I drove through Poland last year and large parts of it now definitely look better off than parts of the UK. Places like South Wales and Stoke look dreadful in comparison.

I think what is mostly worrying in this presentation, is not that Poland getting richer, but the fact that whole Western Europe started lacking behind USA!

Fact is that Poland (actually the whole Eastern Europe) is a huge economic success thanks to EU membership and the Polish people themselves. The economic center in Europe is shifting East and like it or not, it s bad news for the UK.

There is one thing about Poland uk don’t have. Free universities, because of that it realises incomparable more engineers, doctors every year on the work market then uk, poles often spoke more than one language, Poland in last 15 years became a China of European Union and UK. Even after brexit most of your new gutter, windows, toilet & toilet furnitures, all IKEA furnitures are from Poland. Poland was heavy investing into development and infrastructure in last 30 years and it didn’t stop, still continue on the same path. Meanwhile UK stop investing nearly completely in big projects and new roads. I am really sorry Brits but how is your polish?

Hopefully, all the Poles that went home after Brexit will remember how nicely the British people treated them while they were here... when we're immigrants in their country. Wait, on second thought....

Who could've imagined in the 80s that Ireland would become richer than the UK? Just because Poland is growing from a small base and has a lot of historic issues to deal with doesn't man they won't outgrow that. Conversely, just because the UK is still relatively wealthy and powerful doesn't mean it can't land very, very roughly if it continues on this trajectory.

Good for the Poles. All the ones I met while living in London have been extremely hard workers.

Pole here, living in Manchester. I've just said goodbye to a friend who, after 17 years, decided to go back because 'perspectives are better back home'. Of course this is context related, as per video, these projections are big simplifications, but it's really striking how bad UK economy for a normal Joe has become. And it all started long before brexit. UK is the 6th biggest economy in the world. It really should be doing so much better. There so no excuse.

News Outlet: "Poland will overtake US economy by 2050" White House: Release the sanctions

I moved back to Poland from the UK this year and as an IT professional I'm better off financially than I used to be. Let's hope Poland will continue to grow while mainting it's cultural integrity (unlike some of our European neighbours).

This is not a Polish miracle, but the hard work of Poles who stayed in the country despite difficult conditions. Who learn and work hard for future generations.

Whether they overtake us or not, relative to cost of living the UK is getting poorer, Poland is getting wealthier. That is clearly demonstrated in teh figures.

Poland’s success is not a matter of the UK’s failings - Poland was targeted to be the next superpower in Europe for decades

All the Poles are going home. I'd go with them if i could.

If it weren't for the world wars, Poland would be a very wealthy country and would dictate the conditions like Germany does in Europe today. Poland has already been a power in Europe for almost 300 years and I am surprised that European history textbooks forget about this fact.

And the best part, Poland's big cities won't look like Pakistan or India.😊

It would be ironic to see thousands of British moving to Poland!

Enjoy that Brexit. Well done!

As a Pole I am really flattered to see this video:)

Im in the UK, and glad Poland is doing so well. They are the one strong barrier we have against Putin, and a model for what the EU can bring to former Eastern Block Countries. Their prosperity and Russia's decline is the only way to stop despotic warmongers.

This guy is lying to your faces! It's about how well off a Polish household is vs a UK one. And believe me, by 2030 Polish households will be better off than UK ones (on average at least)!

'The UK rises less quickly' A very British way to describe stagnation.

Poland is coming back to it's historical glory.

Britain being a mere 8% ahead of Poland in terms of GDP per capita is a cause for celebration?

For sure Poland can do this obviously even more likely so as Britain keeps sanctioning itself while Poland believes in cooperation in a strong European Union. Greetings from Belgium.

I dont think most of us understand just how bad the economy is here, life is better in pretty much every EU country at this point...

I'm Polish, working hard for my country and I really like what I see at the end of this video. Even if it's a bit overestimated, we are getting there. Sooner or later

The UK average salary is the same as in Slovenia. Take London out of the equation, UK salaries are quite low.

I am particularly interested in how much wealthier (or poorer) certain regions of the UK are compared to specific parts of Poland. The Warsaw or Gdańsk regions are for example much wealthier than the Bradford area. In the UK, the difference between rich and "poor" is very large, with most of the wealth being generated in London. People living and working outside of London are considerably less wealthy. Many Poles are already considerable more wealthier than many Britons. Also, an 8 percent difference in GDP is not really a cause for celebration for the UK.

My uncle lives in the UK for quite a long time now but he is moving back to Poland this year

Most of the Brits are unable to comprehend that the Polish GPD will soon surpass their country's GPD. They are racist towards eastern Europe but the thruth is that the standard of living in Poland is already higher than in the UK, and many Poles are returning from there

Note that Poland hasn’t taken in mass numbers of Middle Eastern and African migrants

In Poland we do not talk. We work.

It's not only Poland. GDP per capita growth rate in Poland looks similar to Romania, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia etc

He's trying hard to prove Poland is much more poorer lol

Brexit is and will be the biggest own goal in British history.

Of course that’s only a prediction, yet apart from the chart there’s also reality. Why not compare transportation in the both countries? The quality of buildings, medical facilities, education or motorways? Maybe that would be too shocking for the Great Britain to realise what’s happening in the UK ?

Good job Poland, we have a lot of respect for Poland. I hope Poland becomes the most influential and economically country in the EU.

Regardless if it will overtake the UK by then or not, Poland's growth has been extremely impressive and it will continue to grow at a strong pace for a while.

I came back to Poland 6 years ago after 11 y in UK. I don't thing that Poland can overtake UK however a think that overall standard of living in Poland now can already compete with UK.

As a polish person i know this perapective of Poland overtaking UKs gdp must be terryfying for brits.

English exceptionalism (and fatalism). We are talking about a 5-year projection, not a 30-year projection. OECD projections and ECB projections show slightly different figures than that of the IMF, and it is highly likely that Poland will overtake the UK within 5 years. There is another reason why this might happen. The Polish population is younger than the English population, and they will see people from abroad returning.

some implicit derrogatory comments against Poland in this video...why couldn't it overtake one, several or even all of the G7?

Sunak, Cameron, Boris and Farage have made things worse-much worse-but it wasn't great to begin with. The UK's problem is that it is a stagnant, paternalistic aristocracy/oligarchy. The country has managed to stay afloat because of its head start, cultural and linguistic links to America, and its financial centre, but this isn't sustainable. We should be an innovation-driven, free-market economy, yet we live in a modern version of Downton Abbey with a touch of Jane Austen and William Blake. It's an oligarchy where the rich get richer-inheritance tax is virtually ignored-while the working population is taxed to death. Innovation is discouraged, meaning property/houses are used as a method of investment by the lazy elite rather than a basic need for people. Consequently, house prices are through the roof, meaning the working population is spending more and more time and money paying rent and mortgages instead of channeling it into money-generating opportunities like equities etc. and all of this is largely due to the Conservative Party, the party of the landed class, the lords, and ladies. They love taxes and vehemently oppose capitalism, ensuring everyone knows their place in the class structure. No ‘new money,’ please.

Come on Poland 🇵🇱 🇬🇧

As a Brit living in Poland I can see it coming too.

We should adopt Poland's immigration policy, then watch our economy magically repair itself.

My wife is Polish... maybe she could get me in there for a decent retirement? 😅

Yeah the UK shot itself in the foot with Brexit.

I love the British mentality... They think they still rule half the world, while Singapore, their former colony has long overtaken them, and more countries will do the same thanks to Brexit.

yes because they have genuine farms, industries and invest in their youth for a few things

Starmer didn't say anything about it happening by 2030... Poland is still growing faster and will likely overtake the UK in GDP per capita as a result.

Poland us actually a country with big potential. The comparison is nothing shocking.

Most scarry is unlike France, Britain has Super poor and Super Rich

Hahaha.... Brits are a funny nation. They can't stand the idea that they will be overtaken by a country that was never an empire or a major powerhouse... yet. Having worked and lived in the UK for a while, I am unsurprised that Poland will become much wealthier than Britain. The Polish work ethic is much better; people are better educated, multilingual, and proactive, and for the first time in Polish history, our geographical location works to our benefit. So, it's natural that we will become much wealthier than the UK and hopefully smarter in deciding who can actually live within our borders.

Brexit Brexit Brexit - It turns out project fear was actually project reality It turns out economists know a lot about economics......

Poland can get rich pretty quickly on condition that Russia will be peaceful and friendly country. At the moment most of Poland exports go to western Europe.

Poland still doesn't really have oligarchs - help them keep it this way!

So I m a romanian...Poland started on the same foot whit as in 89...only that we are talking about this is amazing...bravo to our brothers ❤ I m so proud of them I can t say that about my country unfortunately

Regards from Poland! 😋

They achieved this growth in the past 30 years, so they cannot do it for a few more years ?? I think they can

Forget the graphs the point is simple. Poland's economy is thriving, ours is not. Ask the questions why and address them. The UK is full of creative talented people that the system is not getting the most out of them and we need a bold plan to grow the economy. Neither Sunak or Starmer are bold enough. Neither have a true vision. they're 'Managers', not leaders.

Not taking illegal immigrants and not leaving EU makes wonders to your economy

Slovenia has overtaken Britain! 14yrs of Tory rule has wrecked everything! VOTE FOR LABOUR 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I've worked with many Polish guys and they've all been sound. The Polish are very strong people and an incredible ally for Britain

I went on an exchange to Lithuania and could tell like 15 years ago that they were going to overtake the UK. Their attitude, hard work, kindness, compared to a lot of unbelievably stupid attitudes from the UK group.
