I personally of course love France and the lifestyle is gives me. I am living proof that it is possible with hard work that a lifestyle away from what the U.K. has become
Yep just an opinion and each to their own
I have a property of over 500m squared and a hectare of gardens and my own river
This lot was £50k and I get the best weather in Europe at 304 days sunshine a year
Travelling from the U.K. to France every second Wed what I am doing now saves me 675 quid a month.

The most important thing to me however is not my lifestyle it’s my legacy I give to my three boys all of which can never get on the housing ladder ever as far as I can’t see

My countryside in the U.K. has been raped by stockbrokers all of which have done nothing clever apart from steal from the system

All things can change of course but we will cross that bridge when and if it comes
Until then I am going to enjoy it, I drive a great car and can even save money... that isn’t clever it’s just a way to adjust to what the U.K. has become because I have had to.

For me if it’s all weighed up then today for me it’s all points to a better lifestyle
The U.K. is not going to magically reinvent itself in the lifetimes left to most on this forum

France and any country has problems

I hope Ellers sells his French idea as he is nowhere equipped for it imo. It’s isnt right for everyone and it’s no biggy. Thankfully buying in France is not an investment in terms of money ... it’s an investment in other ways if that’s your choice.

Until things change I am going to enjoy the worlds best roads and transport in general
The sun of course that we all share and never seen in the U.K.
Tech is easy if that’s your thing and I cant afford to be in the U.K. it’s choked and slow.

Your calendar changes when you use a second home ... it works and pretty soon I have found the differences are massive.

The U.K. programs people to book a two week holiday once a year and often the truth is generates more stress and problems. I say have a holiday every two weeks only then can it really be understood and it is possible to do to beat the system

If the system is fine to people then great

But if you have doubts then do not hesitate I say find your paradise

Do you have any problem if I refer to you as “Mimi” in future...?

So Trump wants even more guns distributed.

More guns will solve the problem......

I wonder how the teachers will feel about carrying arms.

Then again, a small percentage of them will probably love the idea.

What a world we live in

:(

Agree 100% but the fact is it is the world we live in. I believe our society is far too meshed with the U.S.A. Look at the interest and ownership we take in and from them. Trump is not anything to do with us he runs another country. Meanwhile in our cities we have a sub culture of youths using knives which is no longer really reported. Of course it’s not as sensitive as mass murder in schools
However the impact of our country and others on other countries have generated severe problems worldwide.
That’s my focus on the world we live in.

All we can do it seems is watch the stage

The deep root is society imo.

I find the fact that a country has a severe problem with guns not as important as the other stuff we fail to get reports on.

The way we all collect what we are fed and then transmit out is the root cause. It’s made us what? I say think for yourself and be prepared for any event ... this world dictates that now. It seems no one has the right to live a life ... it’s often taken or cut short by a bullet or even sugar or salt.

Awareness is good but makes us weak with it imo. Aftermath produces blame to the culture and the faults I believe are with people who have power. The responsibility of power it seems is secondary to their drive for personal success. People care about one thing themselves on the whole that’s the world we live in. To that you have to stay sharp or at least find a place or society that you can live with your own balance
 
Andrew Neil exposes the disgraceful lies about Corbyn spread by the Tory press and Tory ministers. Lies which are then believed by a gullible public and certain credulous posters on this thread.

Corbyn's relative popularity (he's pretty much neck and neck with May in the polls) has got the Tories and Tory press rattled. Though he doesn't help himself by stating that he'll sort the press out when he gets into power. But there's a lot of hyperbole in this story, without much substance, at least at present. The young generation that chant for him don't really care what Corbyn has done in the past, so long as he pays their tuition fees. They think the Cold War is an NHS initiative, and the IRA has something to do with US tax authorities.

I wish we had a strong and properly conservative (small ‘c’) leader that could correctly articulate the danger we face should we elect far-left, bitter communist militants like John McDonnell into a position of power. 10% off the top like what happened in Cyprus, anybody?

That is disgraceful stuff
Hang the tories and anyone who voted for the ****ing ****. I would love to see that party go the same way as the ****ers called UKIP

Shame on them and the voters

What an appalling thing to say. As somebody who’d rather have his meat and two veg nailed to a workbench with a rusty nail than vote Labour, I still don’t wish any ill on the honest, blue-collar, salt of the earth, labourer who votes Labour on account of ensuring that the great British workforce isn’t shafted by disreputable company bosses and their ilk. In the same vein, why wish hanging on some old biddy who’s spent her whole sheltered life in Midsomer, watching the murders from the window of her thatched cottage and getting no closer to a socialist than the occasional visit to Cowley?
 
I see the BBC have invited Nigel Farage back on QT tonight in a pathetic late attempt to redress their obvious anti-Brexit bias. Just the 32nd time this century he's been on the programme.

They don't have Farage on QT tonight. But they have this on there ... I hope someone calls her a champion.
