The UK destroyed a lot of wealth (at least for the middle class and below) through Brexit for starters.

It didn't, the UK just destroyed wealth.
If someone's going backwards when someone else is going forward it's real easy to meet in the middle
All of the UK bigots who hated on the poles over last three decades in shambles.
I guess that's why are hating on brown immigrants now, makes the cope easier
I'm a simple man.
I see a newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch. I downvote immediatly.
it's easy to catch up to someone that's not moving. I'm glad for the Polish people and really hope the people of Britain are able to organize and move towards a more direct democracy that will ensure the wellbeing of its citizens.
Answer: Poland is running forwards, the UK is running backwards.
Curiously, this very newspaper is did a lot of work in making the UK run backwards even faster, most notably during the Leave Referendum.
The Witcher sold like a lot of copies.
GDP per capita is $24,810 vs $53,195. Although Poland's recovery after the fall of the iron curtain is great, there is no need to exaggerate.
"In 1995 Poland’s GDP per capita was $13,600 in today’s money — about 36 per cent of Britain’s and roughly the same as Brazil’s. Today Poland’s figure is $44,500, or 81 per cent of ours. "
Look anywhere else other than the article and you'll see that's not true
GDP per capita =! GDP per capita PPP
You're confusing nominal us dollars and adjusting for price and inflation, or what the OECD calls Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). This is what the article uses and is more meaningful than nominal gdp per capita.
Here's another source. Also uses the OECD's PPP.

I can't read the article and I'm going by what you quoted which says:
Poland’s GDP per capita.
And I said:
GDP per capita =! GDP per capita PPP>
I think you're the one who's confused
You need to look at the article. That's not my problem.
Edit: You edited in GDP per capita =! GDP per capita PPP after I posted my reply. What in the living fuck is wrong with you!
the recovery from the devastations that the germans are to be accounted for before 1990 was not nothing. at all.
Alternatively: How has the UK fallen so fast?
thetimes = goilet paper regardless if you agree with the piece or not. Don't contribute to the propagation of shitrags, ignoring them is the best way to stop them from profiting from your gaze.
GDP PPP per capita:
- European Union: 64,545
- United Kingdom: 63,661
- Poland: 55,186

The impressive thing from OPs article - Warsaw region exceeds UK regions (greater London):

While this isn't uncommon for fairly centralised countries (vs eg Germany with several industrialised cities), only a few regions are worse off than UK's.
Paywall?
It might help, but I don't think one paywall can account for a whole country's GDP.
Polska Gurom
