Is that supposed to be funny or something?? You seem to be struggling with the 'loss' of Britain from the EU, don't take it personally, we don't dislike you as such, its just that we don't want anything to do with you!
i don't think we are, or are we? with the euro, i don't even think i've heard of strikes for a couple days. hmm, oh well, who cares. people are going on the streets though. i need to sleep, it's 11:something am here, they don't even give the time on that BFMTV channel, need to waaaaait... uh.
they're still lapdogs to ze Germans though, now we are not there to protect them give it another 5 years and the Germans will be all over Paris again circa 1942.
Better to be Germany's lapdog and they aren't than being the USA's lapdog which is what the Blair and Cameron governments have brought you to be (read the Chilcote report and similar). The first is an industrious, hard working country which has made the most to unite a continent after learning from its mistakes while the latter is an imperialist blood hungry country based on a completely neoliberal system leaving several of its own people without basic needs

It's absurd that a run down house is allegedly more valuable than a state-of-the-art house.
Nor do they take into account how much a wealthy one percent can skew things (which is hey median is better ), nor do they take into account inequality, tax rate and the existence of services already offered by the state

Shame how the Hollande government panned out. It started well with Ayrault as Prime minister but turned horribly ever since Valls is prime minister
