Yet you make more posts on a brexit thread than anyone else.......... Bye

Yes on what they have changed. But as you know they can't force the EU to change what they decide. So have the farmers demonstrated at the EU for changes their own governments have decided to do? You said people in the EU don't care about the UK. I showed you that the Germans want closer ties...

You make out that it is nothing to do with the EU. You have always made out the same. How are they supposed to protest against the EU? They protest against their own governments in hope. But now they have started protesting against the EU as governments can't make decisions. Would they...

So all these farmer protests are to do with their own governments and nothing to do with anything else? I'll leave you to your love fest with Tony.

You can. It's the ability to watch that you won't get.

There you go. A smiley face instead of a reply.

Did I say any different?

The Italian government made it law that diesel concessions are to be lost this year. Now they have offered them 400m to stop the protests. Here is also an income tax break taken away

I like the way you missed out the 400m of concessions offered to the Italian farmers. You also missed out the tax concessions lost on diesel for farmers which becomes law in Italy this year. Honest debate?

Not true though is it. https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20240203-tractors-converge-on-rome-as-farmers-protest-across-europe

Exactly. In the early days I saw the benefits of leaving. I thought that they outweighed what we would lose. I have stated them above. But as the finer details came out it made it a more difficult choice. The more details that came out the more remain looked the better deal. What makes me...

So the problems being caused by the large amount of refugees is nothing to do with the EU? It has been made worse by FoM. The economic migrants knew once in mainland Europe they could get where they want. But as you well know it is now causing major problems for the countries where they land...

Put into pockets? For my children and the way things were going being out of the EU would have benefitted them. This is true still. Work all your life to pay for a house. And that's if you can get a mortgage. Neither Labour or the Tories saw enough houses being built. Both saw council house...

I kept swinging both ways. But you won't look at the ones afterwards because they don't say what you want them to.

The French cities are on a par with cities in the UK. Maybe a mini slice of heaven but it comes with a cost. Our daughter is moving 2 hours to live with her boyfriend as jobs are limited here. Have a medical emergency? Nearest hospital is nearly an hour away. Ambulance? As long as there is a...

Depends on if I get woken up. If I do I might as well get up. Last night the wife woke me up getting into bed. I'd had less than 2 hours. But yes 4 hours uninterrupted sleep is a good one. I got paid well for working shifts. Where I worked it came with an 18k per year premium over working...

Out of the woodwork? If you spent as much effort getting points by purchasing tickets as you are here you would be on over 20,000 points by now 😆

I'm now at my happiest ever. Where we live is like 40 years or more ago in the UK where everyone helps everyone. We never lock our doors. No need to. Everyone's against the government but know there's nothing better on the other sides. Most people grow their own food and just leave bags of what...

TV program?

Been to bed. Now up. 02:35 in the morning. Nothing unusual. Was a shift worker for decades. You get used to waking up and going to work. Stopped working nearly a year ago. Nothing changes. First noise and I'm awake. The bonus is the wife gets up I go back to bed 😄
