France will delay retaliatory measures against the UK while talks over post-Brexit fishing rights continue, Emmanuel Macron has said.

Gender fascists strike again, claiming another innocent victim of sane reasonability. Reactions by politicians coming to defence as usual sound halfhearted and hesitent, not convincing me.

Ironically she is said to be close to the feminist camp, so not really a right-wing nutzy or something like that.

It tells a,lot about the cointemporary world if you cannot even say anymore that you cannot change your biological sex at will.

If the UK does that, the EU must and will implement a hard border between the IR and NI to prevent the UK using a hidden backdoor into the EU common market. Its not relevant whether I like that or not - that is what from a purely functional point of view the EU must do to prevent that, its the only way. Thats is the termination of any trade deal between the EU and the UK.

Think I stockpile another year's reserve in Q10 then.

The Irish issue was the big trip wire in all the Brexit agreements and negotiations from all beginning on. They ignored it and hoped the fairy queen would solve it magically for them. Did nobody ever tell them that fairies do not exist?

This was to be expected.

^ Only time will tell but either way there are going to be far reaching consequences.

If you want to earn some additional pocket money, I think in Delphi they seek a new oracle speaker.

Relations with Germany will cool after the new government took to office. Both Scholz and Baerbock, latter being the most likely foreign minister, will be more confronting in their unwavering support of official EU positions that go head-to-head with UK wishes and desires, than Merkel was. And Merkel already was jovial, but cool. For Johnson, this government is no good news.



France gains influence, and tremendously so, with its ambitions, with germany beign weak now and the giovenrment beign far more open for pet hobbies of French goals for the EU (namely the transfer union), and Brussels will benefit. Not good for the UK. Not good for liberty and self-responsibility and serious management of state budgets.



Poland and Hungary will feel colder winds in their faces, too.



Impressing Russia and China and the US ( under both Biden and future Trump 2) this new government cannot, it lacks the weight and the means of power to be taken that serious by these powers.

In our elected politician we trust.

Quote:
Sir Lindsay told the BBC: "The accounts of drug misuse in Parliament given to the Sunday Times are deeply concerning, and I will be raising them as a priority with the Metropolitan Police next week. I expect to see full and effective enforcement of the law.

Scary to think about elected politicians who has problem staying on the right side of the law.

Yes, standards have been steadily declining over recent years but I think the same can be said of quite a few other countries as well.

Indeed they found traces of cocaine in the Danish Parliament some years ago and not so long after this, some politician got caught high on cocaine and with x-gram cocaine on him. He was driving.
