I mentioned a while back that they planned to expand and was told I was talking rubbish... Just like the EU army.

You'd think they'd learned their lesson...
Who were measuring in 1880 and how did they gain the data and who can confirm?
I think you will find that it was the UK which spearheaded the move to bring East European countries into the EU Ellers. It was Britain that wanted to bring Rumania and Bulgaria in whereas others wanted to wait - and it was Britain which opened its frontiers for immigration from those countries, whereas others wanted a transition period. So Britain was the pioneer of these early expansions. As it happens all of these countries have growing economies, and are, mostly in the Council of Europe already. In the long term they will not be a liability - Rumania now has the fastest growing economy in Europe, and others will follow. Personally I find it good that all the ex Yugoslav republics could be on the same footing, and have chances to work together under the same umbrella - this stabilizes the region. Yugoslavs had never had travel restrictions in the past and were one of the largest minority groups in Germany by about the 1970s - but then suddenly in the 90s they were forced to become Serbs or Croats or Bosnians etc. now, once again, they will have something in common.Actually I am just pointing out something I said a while back regarding the future of the EU... and was told on here that I was talking rubbish... Funnily It turns out I wasn't.
I don't give a to22 about what the EU does now. Go and take in all these great wealthy countries... I am sure Germany will support them.
So pleased we are out of that failing desperate union.
Good point. That's a question for Strolls who put the original post up.
I'm guessing Greta Thunberg's great, great grandma, Mara Thunberg.
One of the first studies on the influence of carbonic acids upon the Earth's temperature comes from 1896. Samuel Pierpoint Langby was taking measurements of infrared radiation leaving the moon and arriving on Earth. One of the most famous scientists to point out the link between emissions and climate change was Thomas Edison.

Oh ffs it’s so difficult being white, suffering all that intolerance and prejudice. I remember that time when, actually I don’t, it’s never happened to me once.

Romania has the fastest growing economy in Europe my hairy arse, unless of course you count FRAUD, DECEPTION AND PICKPOCKETING as an actual contributor to a countries economy then yes you may be right, still at least you’ll be able to enjoy the dying embers of you’re beloved corrupt EU as the Albanian and Macedonian Mafia steal what’s left.
Good, well you enjoy them.
Thank you for letting me know that it was the UK that wanted all those countries to join.
Last number I can find has Romania at 63rd in the world
1 place above Albania
The UK is in 155th place
Bit xenophobic, mate. However, it’s the grammar that truly offends me.

The Romania has the fastest growing economy in Europe part doesn't bother you though
And even if it was true then it would show how forward thinking the UK was that it wanted romania to join
Would probably have made the child payments easier to administer
Someone making an incorrect statement, presumably in good faith, doesn’t bother me as much as yet another example of Turkish’s unashamed xenophobia.
Is it an incorrect statement though? Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, he's not saying that Romania are suddenly going to be a world powerhouse, but there economy is growing at a faster rate, you just need to factor in the base level where the Romanian economy was in the first place.
Totally agree totally unchecked xenophobia like that is ****ing disgusting, sadly in society today hardly surprising.

It’s Ireland based on the data I’m looking at on the train now from the World Bank but that’s based on 2018. 8.2%.
Poland 5.1%, Malta 6.8%. The UK a dizzy 1.4 and these are all absolute rather than real figures.
Good news is Eritrea are number one in the world and a trade deal is moments away.
I think that judging a whole country based on a few pickpockets is like judging the whole of the UK based on the activities of some of their football fans Turkish. You will find that all that has happened is that a check list of 35 points has been agreed which makes the entry into the EU a more transparent and predictable process - it does not guarantee them entry. Actually if you live in a greenhouse you shouldn't throw stones, because these 35 criteria would probably bar the UK from re entry. Living in a country where you have just given a majority to a government which a) tried to close parliament illegally b) tried to bribe Brexit party candidates to stop them standing for office c) Brought the impartiality of the judiciary into question d) suppressed Russian reports until after the election (have they been published yet ?) and where e) press freedom has been restricted and where f) fake news is the norm, you are hardly in a position of being able to throw mud at other countries.
