AVERAGE UK HOUSEHOLD £9K PER YEAR POORER THAN IN FRANCE OR GERMANY

Having recently lived and worked in Austria for 3 years this sounds about right. But in Austria they were implementing a "Papers, please" society, knocking on doors, stopping you in shops and in the streets, demanding proof of vaccination. But then again the UK was halfway to implementing that, knocking on doors trying to persuade the unvaxxed to get vaxxed.

So at the moment Euro families may be significantly better off financially, but their freedom is eroding faster. But how long will that difference last?
