I doubt France would leave but Italy will be the next if any. I agree with Farage that this EU will fall and out of the ashes a new free trade/ close link Union will rise.
I was going to reply to your previous post Dave. It’s people like you that I actually feel a bit sorry for. I know you live work and have a young family in France. I really hope the French are not tw2ts when you need to fill in the new paperwork. I have a fab history with France, from my Grandmother and French family that live there. It’s not, never has been them I have a problem with... it’s just those unelected mafia bosses in Brussels.
TBH the way they treated us during talks. Cameron and the non non non. Then the episodes with May. Finally that idiot in Luxembourg Who showed no respect to the British PM just reinforces the fact that we were never really part of the club and they were just interested in our membership money.
It’s a new era now and we move on.
Anyway good luck with it all and hopefully when all this cr2p is over we will Look back and wonder what the fuss was about.... except Femi and Watford of course. :emoticon-0100-smile

Exactly how many days have you spent in Italy to be such a connaisseur of local political trends ?

What a farce the school situation is!
One of my brothers has told me they are due to open on monday with over 1700 pupils. This mass testing programme that Williamson is ever so confident about best get a move on! His school has 3 tests available as it stands. No logistics in place to test the school, no personnel in place, no plan or suggested plan. He reckons it would take 3 days to mass test his school!

Williamson is totally out of his depth, like most in the government.
Unfortunately, the worst era of politicians has coincided with a global pandemic.
It's going to be a long haul yet.

He really is mate. Surely there is someone within the party more capable. 2 days to set this up and it's the bloody weekend! Imagine if they announce a full closure at such short notice for parents. Chaos.

Capability has never been the most important factor for allocating these goons.

Its a complete farce. Nothing seems to ever get learned during this. Schools are a breeding ground for even just the sniffles, nevermind a highly infectious disease. Sending children to school in classes of 30 plus is not too different to attending an illegal party of 30 plus.

The same way I know that Italy has the biggest covid death toll in Europe... It's called reading. Maybe you should try it and know what goes on there. :emoticon-0148-yes:

They probably only need to see a year of buccaneering Britannia ruling the waves to make this confirmation bias a reality.

Apparently you have to live in a country to know what's going on?
<doh> And there was me thinking the new year might bring some new ideas?

I was under the impression that kids, especially younger kids, aren't thought to be particularly infectious.
Not sure if that's changed.
 
Just spoken to my brother earlier on the phone. Asked if they were all set for the mass testing on monday. They have not heard a single thing regarding it, apart from the statement by Williamson. His school as it stands, opens on Monday with no plan of action apart from what was in place before. Quite unbelievable really.
 
Dr Mary Bousted, told BBC Breakfast: ‘We know that pupils now can transmit the virus through their homes, through to their families and into the community, they’re the most effective transmitter of the virus.

‘You combine that with the new variant being up to 70% more infective than the previous Covid virus which was very infective, then it’s clear we have to do something to break the chain of rising levels of infection in our community.’

Depends on your readings. I work most of the time in Italy and can guarantee that the Italexit support in in the single digits. Probably more coverage on Daily Express than all of the local media. Anyway time will tell if Brexit is a wise choice or a panacea for covering up other objectives.

And Covid deaths are just shy of 75k a huge number unfortunately pretty much the same as the UK.

eer I am not comparing. I used that as a basic answer.
I only read today how poor the south of Italy is. I also listened to someone who knows a lot more about the economics of that country than us and he said they would probably be the first country to leave the Euro (if they do). You don't need to live in a country to know what is going on?
