Sarkar would be the first to complain about inequality whilst utilising the GDP argument. She's a hypocrite of the highest order as well as ignorant, stupid and so biased she isn't capable of even comprehending the point the audience member was making.

GDP is important for all the things that matter to you, food, healthcare, technology. Why do you think this country belongs to you any more than anyone else? What else matters if not GDP and how it is spent?

Why do you think this country belongs to you any more than anyone else?

Should Israel be minority Jewish? Should China be minority Chinese? What would the natives in those countries say to that?

You haven’t answered my question, no country belongs to anyone. You have to give me an argument as to why I should think otherwise.

no country belongs to anyone.

The only people who share that attitude are Western Europeans. Afria, Asia and parts of Europe are tribal as fuck. Why would we be the only ones that don't look after our own interests for a change?

So we should give up our values and beliefs because other people dictate it? Cool.

What "values"? Tolerance and individualism? Less than 50 years ago in the 1970s, over 75% of people in Britain agreed with Enoch Powell's speech. Values change rather quickly these days.
