Retired and living in France, after 40 years in software across UK and 5 other countries, I became an estate agent in France from 2016-23. QPR fan through thin and thinner.

Do you ever feel you are preaching to the deaf?

Can somebody introduce me to her dealer, as she has to be on something chemical.

I cannot believe Farage would lie to court popularity.

It doesn't sound like any could argue, coherently, for their views.

I'm afraid that, like it or not, there is more engagement on the toxic site than Bluesky.

Far too many Brits see it as a problem rather than an opportunity.

Frequently. There's a film group near us that shows "Lost in Frenchlation". Classic French films with English sub-titles, which don't necessarily match the dialogue, especially any swearing?

Well within the margin of probability, which poll companies try to keep below 3%. Could have been 49:51

Being of Irish heritage, should I be deported? Or is it only those with brown skin?

Sorry to hear that. There's plenty of people who are more inclusive.

Was that staged in a "toxic hellhole"? (Copyright Daily Mail).

Better than nothing. Will it work? Doubtful.
Will it allow frogface to jump in without thought? Of course.

EU isn't going to agree to UK cherry picking. Just because 90/180 doesn't work for proper touring.

1st time karaoke with the bad family voice was Fairytale of New York. Because Shane McGowan couldn't sing either.

When are the media going to scrutinise Reform policies that make Truss look like a paragon of common sense?

4 middle aged, white men. And that's BBC idea of balance?

Went to Velodrome for Paris 2024. Really enjoyable but difficult to follow.

Par for the course.

More than likely.

I don't think many UK voters would want to adopt €, even if their antipathy is unfounded.

Living in France I see v few Brits who can hold a conversation in French. And many French who speak English.

It's hard for Brits to understand because, even when they work/visit EU, they rarely speak enough to converse with other nationals.

What do you know about the French authorities? And their approach? UK media don't tell you much.

It's a sign of greater integration from 2nd(3rd?) generation Muslims. Not "an island of strangers"!
