CiMYour first sentence trumps EVERY anti-EU argument I've ever heard. I've made this point many times and never had a coherent response from anyone who is against the EU. I'll make it again here.In living memory, before joining the EU there were civil wars in:SpainCroatiaSloveniaUKIrelandThere were military dictatorships in:SpainPortugalGreeceBulgariaCroatiaSloveniaAustriaRomaniaPortugalCzechiaSlovakiaHungaryEstoniaLithuaniaLatviaGermanyFranceItalyThe following countries were invaded by land or attacked by air by other nations.UKGreeceBulgariaCroatiaSloveniaAustriaRomaniaPortugalCzechiaSlovakiaHungaryEstoniaLithuaniaLatviaGermanyFranceItalyDenmarkFinlandNetherlandsLuxembourgBelgiumEvery single one of those countries has enjoyed unbroken democracy since joining the EU. Not a single one has had an invasion or a civil war start.It is simply madness to undermine the structure that has played such a role in securing this unprecedented era of European stability. And anyone who rubs their hands at the EU being weakened has no comprehension whatsoever of the massive dangers that history warns us of.Like I say, over and over again, why do you think Putin wants the EU weakened?
It will be interesting to see how the EU fairs if and when the door is opened to the likes of Albania, Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro and (last but not least) Turkey......

Although all are 'candidate countries' they and are enjoying billions in funding from the EU in pre-accession funding - as well as other financial assistance direct from the EU purse.I also know that all 5 of these countries are receiving millions from the EU to support the Covid-19 crisis. Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo are also in the pipeline and already get millions from the in EU in funding and support..

But don't forget our NHS are getting £350m a week when we come out of the EU. I wonder when that will start?

I wouldn't have a clue where to begin also I have no iPhone or internet at home.
Our doctors ate shocking, they’ve even stopped taking prescription requests over the phone, you have to email them in now
Wow how much of a coincidence is that. EfD and Janso writing exactly the same quote 30 seconds apart. They must be psychic.

You'd call it shocking I call it brilliant. I press a button on app, a day or so later it notifies me the prescription is done and I collect the medication. It's superb and saves so much time.
