The EU thread

[Norgy]

Isn't Romania and Bulgaria now the countries with the biggest populations living in other EU countries?

They really are the EU's pity fucks.

I was in Bulgaria a couple of years back and found it slightly depressing; monochrome but one also had the feeling that all the lively Bulgarians had decamped to Western Europe. Very cheap, the economy is in a different gear to,for example, the UK or France. I thought at the time that it was a sort of system that Reform wanted here in Blighty, life in black and white and plenty of opportunities for corruption.
