I'm a cockney kid (a real one!) and have been living in France for 23 years. Blimey, rather gives you away too!!! At a guess, North London? Haven't a clue who or what is ALBF by the way!
-
What it means, and it is obviously beyond your comprehension, is that Trump believes it to be true. I haven't adopted anything. Other than an opinion of some peoples lack of understanding!
-
First, I said that daily deaths in France exceed that of the U.K. That isn't fake news. 2nd, voting and having an interest in politics are two different things. 3rd most of your rant concerns yourself and Brits. I was talking about how I have found French people to general be.Stop being hysterical and you will see that what I have written is accurate, at least as far as I'm concerned. Perhaps you think Le Pen will be President! Or perhaps what induced your diatribe was that I criticised the E.U. I too follow politics quite closely, French, American and British but I don't usually brag about it!
-
Of course the truth is what you believe it to be. The truth may be hard to ascertain but whatever it is, and it usually supports your view, that is what you believe. Bringing terror organisations and other such codswallop into it is nonsense.
-
Well I did mean daily deaths. I should have made it clear. My fault entirely in thinking people would know that.
-
I agree completely that violence in France has increased quite dramatically in recent years. Unfortunately the French have this hang up about the N.F (as it used to be called) and the holocaust (and I certainly do not want to start another conversation about that! ) However the French connect the two and that is why Marine will never be President. The vaccination fiasco and the violence is doing Macron great harm but in the final analysis (or the final round!) Macron will, I believe, win. It is as much the voting system as anything else that will bring this about. I also believe, to get back to the subject in hand, that there will be another general lockdown. Deaths are already rising and Macron can only ignore it for so long!!
-
Marine Le Pen will never be President. speak to French people and you will hear this time and time again. Macron will win be default!As regards the virus: Deaths in France now exceed those of the U.K. Whatever the reason, herd immunity or vaccinations, that the rates of disease and deaths has plummeted is great news for the U.K. If, and I don't think it likely, the French people are actually well aware of the cock-up made by the E.U. then it wouldn't bode well for Macron. Unfortunately I don't think the average French person is too interested in politics; or at least beyond what they see on the t.V.!!
-
No, you didn't mislead me. Only a fool would have believed it. Unfortunately there are plenty out there who fall for that rubbish.
-
You may be right but should the dead start piling up he will have no choice. In any event the French will never vote for Le Pen in the final round so he has already won!!!!
-
Yes, I did think that is what you meant but thought others may have read it differently and thought it was of no value. As for being a 'global card' I have never thought of it as that. Incidentally I did use my GHIC in Spain and it worked a treat!! Fantastic service by the Spanish health service.

If you are going to quote then it would be nice to quote accurately!
-
If you read the article it is plain that the P.M. didn't pay £100.000 to have his dog photographed. Though quite obviously there are people gullible enough to believe it and circulate it.
-
I didn't know the Prime Minister had spent £100, 000 on a photographer to photograph his dog whilst leaving the poor workers to struggle to feed their kids and rely on handouts. It's disgraceful!
-
I would bet your last dollar that there will be a confinement after the holidays, around mid march at a guess!!!
-
You are probably aware by now but I will say it anyway: E.U. solidarity is the reason. UVL said it herself. All countries must do it together and not go alone. Hence the paucity of vaccinations. What matter if a few thousand more die as long as we are in it together!
-
You rather make my point!!! I will certainly agree though that people talk cr-p!!
-
I haven't found the Connection to be misleading. It is, in my view, a left wing magazine and very pro-E.U. but there is always some very useful information in it. I'm prepared to put up with its left leaning bias for the useful titbits and interesting articles.
-
You are wrong about it being completely irrelevant regarding UK citizens living in France. Unless you mean it wouldn't be used in France if you are a resident. However, if you venture into another E.U. country it is relevant and you would need it if you were injured or ill.
-
The point is, according to UVL, it is important that the E.U. shows solidarity regarding the vaccine. She didn't add, surprisingly, that in showing solidarity it doesn't matter how many die!!!
-
The truth is what you believe. People read the Guardian because it supports their views. most likely a Guardian reader reading a newspaper that is inclined to the right will disagree with the articles. Reading a paper , left or right is like sucking a dummy; it supports you!!!
-
People will argue about anything! I received my card from the U.K. some time ago. I was also inundated with people telling me I should have got one via CPAM. I stopped arguing with them, totally pointless. The card works if from CPAM or the U.K. in any event.
-
It would indeed be very odd if anyone expected the British government to list all and anything that would change after the U.K. left the E.U. including parcel hold ups! An impossibility but any excuse to criticise the UK will do I suppose.
