We're practically EU members already, what with Eurovision and all that. Might as well make it official.

    So is Israel. Please don't admit Israel until they stop their genocide, make reparations and remove the maniacs in charge.

    I wonder if it helps the UK left the EU, somehow I feel the commonwealth countries want to belong to the rest of 'the west' but also don't want to be too close to London either. If that's true, that's another Brexit benefit for the non-brits.

    Yay.

    Though the EU did get uppity about our local feta cheese, because it's not made in the pedantry region of Greece.

    Most people don't seem to know what 'third world' actually mean. Back in the days of the cold war, the 'first world' was the US and its allies (NATO), the 'second world' was the USSR and its allies (Warsaw Pact), and the 'third world' was every other bugger. At that time, the third world was mostly economically poor and pre-industrialized countries.

    So, perhaps it's time to revive the original meaning, and have all of Europe, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand (and anyone else who wants to join us - Africa, South America, you guys in?) proclaim loud and proud that we are all third world countries!
