    That's all fair enough mate and I'm not saying it's to get at us, just a pain after living there so long without it all.

    Just out of curiosity why do you think so.

    Have you noticed any of this attitude mate, I hope not but it's what concerned us a little. This must be very worrying if you're a Brit expat with a bar in these places.

    "A Spain holiday warning has been issued as UK tourists are slammed in Majorca, Malaga and Tenerife. UK tourists have been warned to "get out" of some of Spain's top holiday destinations after a wave of protests across the country."

    "Over the years, Amsterdam has tried various ways of clamping down on nuisance tourism, from a “stay away” campaign to dissuade British lager louts, a ban on smoking cannabis in public in the centre, and 2am bar closing times.

    Now it has opted for a new approach, using typical Dutch bluntness in an online quiz that aims to see off those who want to visit the historic city for anything less than its tulips and Stroopwafels."

    We've now had many years after Brexit and it's been a total disaster, never mind how France, Greece or Germany are doing. That doesn't help and our 'immense benefits' weren't based on any of that.
    Farage boasted that Brexit would be an absolute Godsend, then blamed the Tories and Labour when it wasn't.

    Now he's claiming he has all the answers and the means to make Britain great again ...

    ... but chooses not to tell anyone how, yet people say they'll vote for him.

    FFS, it's like a scene from Blackadder <doh>

    This. If we had growth the size of the losses we’ve had from Brexit people would say we’re booming and Reeves is a genius. If we had migration the levels we had pre Brexit people would say we’d smashed. Let’s not be stupid eh? Let’s just get it back and go back in. I noticed Burnham said he’d do it. I don’t think Starmer has the knackers to tax wealth and go back in to the EU, so I hope we end up with Burnham or Starmer grows some.
