Can anyone advise me of a member country of the EU that is solvent and without unrest please. When I mention Spain, Italy, Greece, broke, Germany has major problems, not financial, but from those that work there it is no secret they will follow us out if we ever leave. Brussel has too much power.

I know quite a few Germans and other people working in Germany. Not one of them thinks that Germany will follow us out of the EU. Please could you explain how it's not a secret, if nobody seems to know about it. confused

Ridiculous. Blame the EU for the weather next. Can you name a country in the world that has NO problems. I would suggest countries such as Germany, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Ireland, France, Italy and others are peaceful safe countries unlike many other parts of the world. I don’t think anyone wants to copy us politically.

I'm beginning to wonder if this poster does actually inhabit the same planet I do.

Love these statements without a shred of evidence to back it up.

Bit like reading the Sun or Express or Mail.

.. or malfunctioning bot! hmm

Did you see the Twitter post with a screenshot of a number of posts praising Boris Johnson? Each one had a different name and said the same kind of positive comment.

Unfortunately …

Somebody must have pressed the wrong key because one post had the computer code the bot was using to create the posts. The whole lot was very quickly deleted.

No!

But I think Jess Philips was right when she said that money from abroad will pour in now and largely spent on that sort of thing.

Peonyrose Wed 30-Oct-19 08:14:57

Lots of insults but can’t see a list of affluent and stable countries.

Drum1234 Wed 30-Oct-19 08:25:54

crystaltipps has given a list.

peonyrose

You need better evidence than that for your assertions.

Otherwise they are just that, and can therefore be ignored.

Ridiculous be careful what you wish for
Wishful thinking comes to mind
Germany follow us don’t make me laff ???

Can you name any country not in this position, - apart from China!

Not really a light shining in the darkness.

crystaltipps Wed 30-Oct-19 08:52:24

peonyrose again - please give us a list of countries in the world with NO problems.
I would again suggest Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, The Netherlands, Ireland, Italy,Austria and many others are generally peaceful, and safe countries. There are plenty of truly poor, unstable or war torn countries in Africa, South America, the Middle East etc.

Ridiculous to suggest that other European countries are less stable or successful than this one. Even dafter to suggest that they're desperate to join us in abandoning the EU.
I won't repeat the list from crystal tips but she's spot on, there are so many peaceful, safe countries all over Europe. Our culture benefits from being part of the EU, it's our loss to leave.

M0nica Wed 30-Oct-19 16:52:40

What countries would you include on the list peonyrose I have suggested China.

Then there is Sweden and Norway, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. Not all EU countries but quite peaceful at present.

Here is a link that suggests just the opposite of what you have said www.npr.org/2019/04/26/715926169/heres-why-brexit-wasnt-followed-by-frexit-swexit-or-nexit?t=1572454147491
