8.9 United Kingdom
The United Kingdom has a strong tradition of cooperative movements and social enterprises. The Rochdale Pioneers, who founded the first modern cooperative in 1844, played a crucial role in shaping the global cooperative movement. Today, the UK’s cooperative sector includes retail, finance, housing, and worker-owned businesses, contributing to local economic development, job creation, and social well-being.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
