Germany had 64% of trains late last year. britains was 86.8%. Germany counts a train late after 6 mins, Britains isnt until 5-10 mins. a roughly 30 min trip (London to Stevenage) is €22. a similar (Berlin to Potsdam) is €9.99, although I might have got charged more fees on the German site if i had continued.
Short of Bugs Bunny sawing away the British Isles and letting them free-float over to be new offshore buddies of the States out near Puerto Rico, the UK will be a part of Europe for the foreseeable future.
The European Union, a governing body, is another story, and not exactly what is being referenced in the tweet.

Yeah, as a Brit who lives in Germany, all of the above is true, except for the trains.

And they left the EU so they could double down on all of that.

No wonder they don't want to be part of Europe. Just look at how their rankings improve if you just count them.
Suddenly they're the best.

And the longest serving Conservative government in Western Europe.
(Not sure how long Orban’s been in office and Belarus doesn’t count.)

The UK had 14 years of Tory rule. Give it some time, it can still be fixed.

Least reliable trains in Europe.
