How Poor The UK Really Is.....

Added: 2026-05-24

[00:00:00]3,000 British voters answered one [music] simple question. If the United Kingdom were a state inside the United States of America, where would it rank for income per person? The average [music] Briton guessed seventh, placing the country above Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, [music] and Ohio. But the actual answer was 51st, meaning the United Kingdom ranked dead last, behind [music] every single American state, behind Mississippi. The state Americans themselves have mocked for over [music] 150 years as the poorest, slowest, most rural corner of the country. The modern United Kingdom [music] is now statistically poorer per person than a state whose median household income [music] ranks 50th out of 50 in America.

[00:00:42]And almost nobody in Britain knows it happened.
