> I'm Polish and I had trouble figuring out why would the two countries be put side by side like that, Because the author is firmly in the camp that fails to aknowledge any and all progress made by east european countries, and by Poland in particular. Wouldn't fit the narrative of a brexit campaign focused on slandering those nations and their citizens. Furthermore, putting it next to Bangladesh, or India, the author thinks, may make the damage done to former colonies of west european "powers" less obvious. The reality of east europe, and poland in particular, being significantly more developed than the rest of the world - much of which has suffered at the hands of said "powers" - is irrelevant. That particular line of text discredits the whole article, which in my view, doesn't belong here. It belongs at most on the dailymail, or perhaps the guardian - another library of content that tirelessly portrairs east europeans as some sort of underclass worthy of pitty and scarecrow. But you know, in Poland, a country with an ever growing economy, eggs are not rationed. So perhaps the author is right in way that Poland may overtake the UK, sooner rather than later. Personally I have full confidence it will.
