Didn't we just give it to you because we weren't that bothered about it and it wasn't worth the bloodshed?

This is what I noticed on the ground. Heading towards the French ski resorts, you either take the Grenoble route or the more northerly Chambery route. I have done both in the last 2 months. Both times I saw that about 90% of the cars were Belgian and they were decent cars, Mercs, BMWs, Audis, Volvos. WTF? There were almost no French cars and the ones I did see were delivery vans and old crappy things. There were some British cars, again decent ones.

However, the slopes were filled with Brits, maybe up to half. Some restaurants and bars only had Brits in them. This suggested to me that we mostly fly. Fair enough as most of us are much further than Belgium.

I have mentioned before that food prices in France have really shot up and the quality has gone down. Even at 1:1 exchange rate, I would typically pay over double for the same stuff than in the UK. Fuel is now 1:53€ a litre, up from about 1:40€ a couple of months ago. Our fuel has more or less stayed the same since Brexit; theirs has gone up from about 1:17€ to 1:53€. For as long as I had known, both food and fuel was cheaper in France.

On their news, SNCF are planning a whole catalogue of strikes, about 2 a week for the next few months. Macron is determined to do what Thatcher did with the Unions. There were job losses announcements.

So, I see unemployment, high inflation and the French can't afford to ski in their own resorts. They are really in the deep stuff. So what about the Belgians? Why is their economy so good? What do they export? Chocolate and beer? Well, I think a vast majority of them are on the EU gravy train and have very cushy jobs in Brussels. So, you the UK taxpayer are funding their expensive ski holidays. I wonder how long it can last.

France is hardly a basket case, but I think the Euro is overvalued for them too.

I used to go down Speakers' Corner once in a while. Quite an interesting place to pass through; always loud but always orderly. That it's degenerated into this is amazing. Sad thing is, a lot of these muppets being allowed to maraud through the public parks look too young to be aware of where all this can lead - i.e. the former Yugoslavia. It's a national tragedy unfolding.

I'm sure I recognise some of those from when I drove through a certain northern French port.

Not allowed to show the Police refusing to uphold Royal Park rules? Or not allowed to mention the ones we are not allowed to question? I mentioned no one! I see FF heading the same way as Facebook. Bye bye!

So you Yanks are sitting smug because of your 1st Amendment, and can see that we can no longer speak freely.... well, I argue that with the Google, Twitter, Facebook and Youtube police, you are actually doing more to stifle free speech on a global level. FF is but a tinpot wannabe in that sphere.

Don't blame the people here. The usurpers in high places are in almost every country.
The corporate mass media is spreading confusion & fear everyday. That's what they do.

The first amendment protects the US citizens from censorship by the US government. It does not protect free speech in a business or if you sign on to a social media site. Many do not understand the first amendment and think it protects "free speech" in any environment. It does not. I abhor social media and do not participate in any of them as for the most part they are cess pool. I have a choice and I choose not to support them.

Many sign on and willingly give up their privacy rights with a single click. Many are not aware they are doing this and this needs to be addressed. Sadly FF is really just another social media enterprise. FF is supposed to be about trading yet it really for the most part has little to do with real trading. There are few if any successful traders able to prove themselves in any meaningful way. The ability to manipulate Trade Explorers make them a joke. Demos on trade explorers are even a bigger joke.

Let us for a moment assume that the whole road network is owned by the corporates. The government tells you you have the freedom to go wherever you like. Corporates say no, you can't use the roads. So, in reality because of the way the world is now, without media, the 1st Amendment is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

FF is full of gurus, scammers and lemmings propped up by egos feeding on morons.

The Labour party could be fractured soon. There is a new centrist party soon to appear (I think Blair has something to do with it) so that should split the Labour votes.

As the new party will hog the centre ground, hopefully the Tories will realise they will have to dump waste of space, remainer May and get someone in who believes in the country. They need to move back to traditional Conservative values.

I certainly hope so.
