I think many people are underestimating just what a threat to the UK and our way of life, that Macron and his like are.

And how many times has Macron gone over to see his mate Putin recently, he gave the impression that he had some sway with Putin and then shortly after returning back to France each time was made to look like a prize prat by Putin :rolleyes:

They are all politicians, and so by definition untrustworthy scumbags. But people like Macron have been destroying Europe and European identity for decades and getting away with it, with seemingly a lot of people not seeing the inevitable horror that awaits us or our children/grandchildren in the not too distant future.
Macron is a chippy short arse who doesn't like Britain. I regret that our Government has been so accommodating to him - probably because they don't want to inflame things in the Channel. I think it's time we made more jokes at his expense. However, if he scrapes back in the gilets jaunes will be back with a vengeance. The French mostly can't stand him either!

He's a prissy little fucker. I've no time for Le Pen either, didn't like her old man either. But oddly I've spent a fair bit of time in 'Le Pen' heartlands (rural France where 'La Chasse' is king and you could buy shotgun carts at the local LeClerc) and I totally get why people voted for her old man and her. They're people I respect and like but like our Fishers and Farmers I think they've had their needs appropriated by cynical political self serving bastards who will happily sell them a dream that they neither have the ability or will to deliver. But once they've the keys to the house, who cares.

I've watched a few of those live Chas.
They are ridiculously dangerous. 90% of those involved were totally shitfaced & literally shooting at shadows.
If their "prey" ran through someones property, so did the pi$$ed up hunters.
The folks with shotguns were bad enough but occasionally some would be carrying rifles.

They'd have just as much fun & kill just as many critters. If all their ammo was swapped for blanks. But it would be a damn sight safer for anyone in the vicinity.

Mate, I've ridden through the crossfire to get a baguette :D I *know*

I see it's being reported that Macron has been re-elected. I suspect that, if it hadn't been for Putin, Russia and Le Pen's apparent love for them at a time when Russia has polarised opinions in the West the result may have been rather different.

I haven't seen a political race in the last five? years that wasn't about the least soiled underwear being worn

It didn't take long...

There is no doubt that the Civil service, selected from the core of the Middle class, cloud cuckoo land 'liberals' think they are the real controllers of the UK, ala 'Yes Prime Minister'. Perhaps a root and branch re-structuring of the mechanism hiding behind the government is as important as a reform of the Parliament.

I don't agree with all his conclusions, but much of what he says about the WEF I believe to be true 🤔
