    plenty of space in the UK for free movement IMO have a look when you are next in the air
    We have a new PM amazed how people just follow her and support her like programmed sheep
    Open your minds a bit please
    None of us have a clue in truth what is going on but to defend or support it is plain madness

    I witnessed animal behaviour when water ran out in Hailsham East Sussex for two days ... Wait until something more important like a ginster pie is in short supply then we will see proper zombies fighting

    A question: Why is coming to the UK so important for the refugees in France to come to the UK??

    Because despite all the recent shenanigans in the press and on social media the UK is one of the most generous, tolerant and welcoming countries to immigrants and refugees. We also speak English which is a global language and makes it easier for newcomers to assimilate.

    I thought French was the second language in Syria so you would think France would be a good place? They have the right to settle and work in Germany and France but seem to want to come here. I find it strange but they seem to prefer the UK.

    Plus we have plenty of low end jobs which the locals don't want. Apparently.

    A lot of the Jungle people seem to be from Afghanistan which has a long history with us.

    I was waiting for my daughter to arrive home from some assignation or other. Then the Bundesliga highlights were on telly. Only highlights but it looks really good and huge noise from the fans. The other teams I follow, Hertha Berlin and AC Milan (who beat Juventus last weekend) are both 3rd in their leagues. Pull your socks up Rs. Clocks go back on Saturday.

    Great news. Means our games will be over Friday night and not when it's already light Saturday morning.

    It's not isolationist to want to leave a failing, over-regulated, protectionist club with its economic basket case countries in order to reach trade agreements with the rest of the world, including Commonwealth countries which I know, felt excluded when we joined the Common Market back in the 70's.

    On the topic of Scotland, the wee angry ginger lassie is finding herself marginalised. Having flown to the Continent within days of the Brexit vote, expecting to be greeted with open arms by Brussels, she's been told the EU wouldn't have Scotland as a member because its deficit is worse than Greece and the Spanish would rather stick pins in their eyes than allow a separatist country into the club.

    So angry lassie returns, ready to threaten Theresa May with another independence referendum and become an orphan state - except that all polls show the Scots don't want another referendum or to become an orphan state. So she's jumping up and down but without a stick to beat anyone with. May's playing it exactly right. Negotiate ourselves out of the EU, and then, once agreement has been finalised, if the Scots want one, give them another vote on independence

    Much easier to access benefits apparently, than in France, and at present, more low-skilled work available

    Of course making Brexit a success is predicated on everyone else failing, and gleefully watching them do it. What a mean spirited bunch we have become.

    Excellent Reith lecture on R4 now, part of a series by philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah. All are about identity. Last week was on religion, which I didn't listen to very closely. Today is on nationality, very good, worth a listen. He has just been asked what he think of May's dig at cosmopolitans 'if you think you are a citizen of the world, you are a citizen of nowhere'. One word answer "No".

    "Everyone" meaning everyone in Europe. There's a world outside Europe, with commercially far more promise.

    As far as Europe is concerned, its the euro, the unwieldy structure and narrow minded protectionism that will cause it to fail, not Brexit. As to mean-spirited, there's no gallantry in going down with the ship when the rest of the crew are busy hacking holes in the hull.
