Are you surprised how many or how few children there are in a region in Europe?

      Because the UK do not provide data to Eurostat, they usual just collect data from national statistic institutes. Furthermore, GB is neither a member of the EU nor the EFTA.

      I read this kind of comment not the first time, and it annoys me a bit. It sounds almost always like an accusation, that the statistics is wrong, or someone likes to bully especially the UK.
      The one to blame here are the British people and the British government, because they are responsible for their policies and politics and BREXIT.

      The UK likes to cook their own soup, which they keep repeating very often in the last few years…

      But I guess there is data available somewhere maybe one creates a map especially for the UK.
