What is the G7?

The 47th G7 summit is taking place in Cornwall, with Boris Johnson hosting the event.

The Group of Seven consists of Germany, Italy, Canada, France, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States.

But why was G7 formed and what does it do?

What is the G7?
It’s a collection of professional liars gathering in a single location to practice lying

[zoefree]

It’s a jolly up where they decide what more misery they can cause, which is causing havoc in Cornwall at the moment 🤷‍♀️

If this is a “group of 7” countries then why does the EU poke it’s nose in?

[wahid]

Not a single African country and only one is Asia. How on earth can this ever be representative of international interests?

They just talk about how to slowly take away are rights and freedoms under the guise of culture and safety.

So it was the G6, G7 and G8 because of the number of members being 6, 7 and 8 respectively..

I know the G7, however now there is a G15 emerged as media darling: a group of 15 wild elephants wandering over 500 km in Southwest China.

Sky must have a very low opinion of its viewers if they feels the need to explain this

[ItIsGonnaGetWayWorse]

Its where the peanut gallery gather to decide how to be even more evil
