"There are four types of countries: developed, undeveloped, Japan and Argentina." - Simon Kuznets


I wonder - does the UK get its own category now or does it fall into the Argentina box?


The UK is still much stronger economically than most of Europe (southern Europe especially).


And Europe is in that situation because of southern Europe


Are you sure of that? Who saved the French and German banks after '08? There are southern European countries right now paying the same energy costs as northerners, even though they weren't reliant on the same sources. Not saying to feel sorry, but if Europe has to thrive, it must work together.

People who are constantly blaming southern Europeans for their troubles are like those anti immigrants types, yikes.

You mean like Italy?


Portugal for example
