Tha CND mindset and influence that anything nuclear is bad, is alive and doing fine in the UK and has always hindered the only sensible solution to the UK's long term electricity generation - nuclear power. Ignoring the fact that the old Magnox reactors designed to produce weapons grade plutonium are a different design to current power generating reactors. All the old Magnox reactors have been shut down in the UK. They produced heat as a by- product of the plutonium process. Current reactors are designed to produce heat for power generation and are much more efficient. That's why the UK has to use gas for about 50% of it's power generation which produces huge quantitties of pollution, while at the same time lecturing the rest of the world that pollution is bad.

I would support a national policy whereby La Chasse is authorised to hunt every other Sunday, by commune and at no other time. Then we would know 100% where we stand. This would give some relief to dog walkers, mushroom pickers etc, who just want to wander in the woods of a Sunday, without the risk of getting shot. Our local rules are far from clear, and frequently we come across official looking triangular road signs that proclaim "Chasse" on any day of the week - very helpful - not!

You might like to consider a different perspective on uninhabitable. Stand outside and look directly upwards. You are only five miles away from freezing to death. The temperature at that height is minus 30 to 35 C Be glad about that nice warming blanket of atmosphere that keeps you warm.

The slogan ran :- “Beauty is in diversity as freedom is in hijab,” Exactly the opposite to the reality, sums up the EU to a T.

Contaminated with what? Concepts which you don't wish to discuss and inconvenient truths maybe?

I would be interested as to whether you think this article is a "wind up". Extract. "It is like humidity in a house. Initially the threat is invisible...." — Boualem Sansal, Algerian novelist, L'Express. Bfmtv interviewed Fewzi Benhabib, a resident of Saint-Denis. Since his arrival from Algeria 25 years ago, he found in France the ideology from which he was fleeing in his former country "For the Islamists, it is a question of Islamizing modernity, not modernizing Islam." Next year, France will decide to try to save itself or continue to sink. Either way, it will unleash a tsunami that will not stop at its borders and instead flood all of Western Europe. "Where Islam takes hold, it is forever. Islamism is based on Islam, which no one has the right to criticize. But in your countries it also plays a role in democracy and in the rule of law. Islamism exploits these values. Since democracy recognizes all opinions, from the far right to the far left, it is obliged to recognize Islam as well. All those who do not commit attacks or violent acts are, in principle, protected in a state of law. Islamism thus immediately finds itself in a conquered terrain. It is necessary to fight Islamism from the beginning. Because it is like humidity in a house. Initially the threat is invisible, it penetrates the walls which, little by little, crumble. When you realize it is too late, you have to destroy everything to clean up. It becomes a mission impossible. France is at the stage where it has just discovered that Islam is eroding her home". In the book Grand Manipulateur, the journalist Marc Endeweld reveals what France's President Emmanuel Macron says in private on the sensitive issues of immigration: The ostensible "fault" of the French historian Georges Bensoussan was to declare on the radio that immigrants from Middle Eastern countries absorb anti-Semitism from an early age like "mother's milk." He was put on trial for incitement to hatred and finally cleared after four years. Bensoussan recently told Le Figaro what is happening to his country: https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/17843/france-election-immigration

I was a member back in the mists of time, but somehow it became difficult and subsequently impossible to log in despite multiple password resets which didn't work. And then there was an email yesterday inviting me to reset my password which worked!

[quote user="Judith"]Good to hear that Mrs KG. I've got to change my driving licence soon, but hanging on in the hope that one day they will have sorted the problems! [/quote] I've been changing my driving licence since last September, and I still haven't got an actual licence. I've got a copy of my old valid UK licence and their "attestation" but no actual licence. There seems to be no end to the variety of dumb questions they choose to ask. Such as -"Are you a resident in France?" Answer- Please see carte de sejour copy which I sent you - please note it states "permanent resident" It makes you wonder if the staff they are employing can actually read! "How much did they charge, if you don’t mind me asking?" That's the strange bit - there is no charge apparently.

My application has been in since mid september last year. I had an email enquiry from them in January asking if I was resident. This despite having sent in, with all the rest of the stuff they want, a photocopy of my Titre de Sejour card, to obtain which you have to prove that you have been resident for 5 years + More staff training needed at Nantes methinks.

"why don't they go after those that can afford these super yachts that cost millions and millions" Possibly because the billionaire superyacht owners also own banks?
