Why do these European charts omit the UK?
We left the EU, not the bloody continent.
The data is provided by Eurostat. An EU organisation, they are not going to fund numbers for a country not in the EU anymore (some other countries might still join for various reasons.)
If they hold that stance, the graph should not use 'Europe' when they essentially mean 'EU member nations', especially if they omit the UK for the reasons you state as the UK is a part of Europe.
Edit: not sure how difficult this is to understand. Europe is a continent, which includes the UK. The chart says Europe, not EU, whilst omitting a country within Europe.
I feel for you. I understand what you're saying. Unfortunately I only have one up vote to counter everyone else.
In this case it is the graph makers laziness to not find extra stats on the UK. On the other part I believe the UK has the choice to join again, especially on side project as Eurostat. If a European country doesn't want to join on European initiatives then I'm bit sure if we should treat them specially. The choice is theirs and it was clearly made.
Switzerland and Norway are not part of the EU either.
We are on there but we had no killings. Just tragic accidents for the greater good.
