    Question UK 5th largest economy thanks to sex and drugs

    Seems the UK just squeezed up to become the 5th largest economy thanks largely to sex, drugs and rock'n roll

    UK economy, boosted by the inclusion of sex and drugs in national accounts, overtakes France by a whisker to become the world's fifth largest economy.

    Official estimates show prostitution added about £5.7bn to the UK economy in 2013, while illegal drugs were worth about £6.62bn.

    Which means we have to pay more into the EU (well Obsorne says he won't but the news has gone quiet on that topic)
