    I've always found it amusing (probably not the right word) that in the first world war the conflict was mainly between countries with different branches of the same "royal" family, ours, Germany's and Russia's. And they all had God on their side, Gott mit uns, no he's not he's with us! No wonder the Russians embraced Communism.

    The real truth about the EU is hidden BT, very much like the truth about Covid and the utility of lockdowns, but the truth is out there if only people would take the time and trouble to discover it. But the vast majority don't, they listen to half-baked charlatans spouting on TV and in the papers and suck it all up, they believe every word.

    It amazes me and it's depressing, it's so easy for them, I'm sure Boris, Hancock and the Mad Scientists of SAGE must shake their heads in private and say, 'How are we getting away with this', but getting away with it they are. Same with the EU, but they've been getting away with it for so long they've got really stroppy with us Brits who've rumbled them, so they'll make us suffer for it any way they can.

    Not selfish at all Chris, there's no real reason why you shouldn't be able to visit your French house as and when you want, apart from second-rate politicians playing silly buggers. We lost two holidays in France last year, we put them back to this year, but we've given up on them now. Who knows when we'll go again, maybe never.

    The sadness for me BT is that so many people are still convinced that prosperity and peace in Europe have only been achieved since the end of WW2 because of the EU. What we ask and I think what people have always wished for is to trade on free and equal terms and to be able to change their rulers through democratic process. I suspect if Boudicca was around today she might well have said the Romans are back and all they want is your cooperation.

    Me and the wife nipped over to Horwich this morning to drop off a birthday present for a friend. I was astonished to see about twenty different junior football matches being played across the Borough's parks and playing fields. Loads of parents and bystanders, kids running about everywhere.
    Woman in the car next to us at the traffic lights was a solo occupant wearing a face mask. You are spot on mon ami when you say, I'm sure Boris, Hancock and the Mad Scientists of SAGE must shake their heads in private and say, 'How are we getting away with this', but getting away with it they are.
    I presented my hypothesis to my wife that around 95% of the UK's adult population are dead from the neck up. She actually agreed.

    I think 95% is a bit harsh but definitely 50% going off our local Facebook group.

    I'd put it somewhere between the two.

    People have been educated from day one to be dead from the neck up Sinkov.I have said it many times on here.It all comes from the late 1920`s in Fankfurt-Cultural Marxism.They were expelled from Germany under Hitler and since then they have pervaded slowly but surely every nook and cranny of our institutions.The MSM, the politicians, local government, the Police, the Judiciary, the education and welfare system.
    It is like a cancer and it is killing society from within just as was planned back in the 20`s.These were the recommendations and it is almost like a carbon copy of what has happened in all western societies in the last 50 years :-

    1. The creation of racism offences.
    2. Continual change to create confusion
    3. The teaching of *** and homo***uality to children
    4. The undermining of schools’ and teachers’ authority
    5. Huge immigration to destroy identity.
    6. The promotion of excessive drinking
    7. Emptying of churches
    8. An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime
    9. Dependency on the state or state benefits
    10. Control and dumbing down of media
    11. Encouraging the breakdown of the family

    I rest my case.
