From what I saw. from reports last night a situation will arise where Pen will have to serve under Macron? Also there is a chance Von de leyen could step aside as EU President as there is no way based on past comments that she will want to work with the far right in any shape or form, with their increased seats. Don't understand it all, so will wait and see. I don't mind Macron, would rather work with him, we got enough fooking wars going on, although he has been stirring it a bit of late with Russia, but then again someone needs to put Putin back in his box. Don't care about Von de leyen, i don't particularly trust her, she was trying to give it the biggun last night, well we will see with the right whether she's just all gob and will step aside, or if her own self interests come into play, like most leaders these days.
Macrons alright, he's been a bit of a wet lettuce, but he's stable. France is a nation facing a tremendous amount of problems not just at home but abroad too. So they need stability really
Yeah I was listening to the paper reviews last night and it was said that Macron has positioned himself more as a world leader than a domestic leader, and I would tend to agree with that view. I just saw it that after Merkel stepped down, someone needed to step up. More than noticeable at the D-Day commemorations Macron alongside Biden, while our leader embarrassed us all.
People forget a massive thing with France and its situation stems from how different we ended our empires. France has a larger military than the UK primarily because it continues to have active troops in some parts of Africa. They put a tremendous amount of their international power on these holdings and they're all slowly breaking off. The recent issues with that island, Macron himself having to travel there in person, just sums up the countless problems that nation faces. While the UK is toodling along with an incompetent government, France is fighting a storm with a generally competent one and coming off worse. It's why Macron has suddenly emerged as a major advocate for standing against Russia. French and Russian troops are facing off in Africa.
Euro sweepstake on our board which Milk is running and naturally he somehow managed to shoehorn AI generated pics into it .
Much as I'd like that, I don't think so mate. They're like the floating turd of politics. No matter how much you flush some remnant of those fckers will re-emerge.
Is it? Fair enough. I remember being a kid in school in 89 celebrating 200 yrs of the revolution. I think we watched one of the Carry On films with Charles Haughtrey saying the immortal lines, pop it in the basket I'll read it later.
Read a Reform candidate said we should have stayed neutral in WWII. Another perfectly normal day in this election.
The Reform response was even better. Something like, it was what everyone thought at the time. Someone should let them know it's not the 1930's anymore. Or Nazi Germany.
Quote from the same candidate Ian Gribbin, who is standing in Bexhill and Battle, also wrote online that women were the “sponging gender” and should be “deprived of health care”.
"Imagine where we'd be" if we had. A glorious future and everything would be great. Well not for you Westy
