    Oh good grief!

    Back to, err, the 9th century. We'll be fighting off Norwegian raiders next.:)

    Aren't many of us descendants though. :idea:

    This is huge and only just starting. upon new information and a fresh perspective on France I must apologize for Yawning at France. I now believe this is a huge deal and I’m excited to see the rioters. There may be some good from this! There may be much more than a Small Token involved. I think the imperial bankster is actually going to have to quit his day job and will be fortunate to get out with his life and certainly there is more to come from this story.

    Food.

    Get the people working the land, we can provide everything we NEED.

    Forget fancy colours and styles,must stick to what we need.

    It's looking like no deal come March, I see this as a good thing.

    Hilarious. About the only honest Brexit prediction I've heard. Vote Leave and go back to toiling in the fields like a 7th Century peasant.

    Good luck little Englanders. You'll need it.

    Crazier than a bunch of frogs on acid.

    (Am I allowed to say that? Who cares.:) )

    Anyway, the bl00dy French are always rioting in Paris and having revolutions. Fat lot of good it has done them, if they're still at it.

    Trust me, me and the family have promised ourselves we'd take to the streets if there was a second referendum and never vote again. what the point of voting when the will of the people has not been honoured.

    Interesting that the revolution in France is apolitical. Rejection of politicians, unions and other representatives alike. Uniting people from a broad spectrum of views. The common ground being felt as not represented by those with influence and living outside the globalised wealthy cities. Where incomes, job prospects etc are higher and better.

    Attitudes like this just put fuel on the fire.

    Only if you are someone that won’t take any responsibility with their life. Everyone else thinks it’s such obvious advice that it probably doesn’t need saying.

    You cut your cloth according to your means, and no-one owes you a nice lifestyle; if you want it you need to develop the skills, knowledge and work ethic that means someone will pay you enough to live it.

    Or you can set up in business yourself.

    You won’t be taken seriously if you won’t take responsibility for where you find yourself.

    It shouldn't be an expensive area though, that's my point. It's one of the poorest boroughs in the whole country.
    Of course it should be expensive, it’s walking distance from both the square mile and Canary Wharf, where people in their thirties can earn a half a million pounds a year.

    And you have no more entitlement to live there than do I. It’s funny that you can think that you do and then criticise someone who wants to limit immigration.

    This is the face of immigration, I moved to London, got a good job, and outcompted you for a house.

    Oh stuff the will of the people.

    You spent 30 seconds in a polling booth answering a poorly worded question in an advisory referendum, and about 5 minutes getting there.

    You, along with the rest of the "people" had the opportunity to vote for the single issue Leave Europe party for every general election since the early 90s , and their best showing ever was one MP.

    Of the "people" that I have spoken to who still admit to voting Leave (and it seems like about 90% of them are pretending they didn't) their reasons for doing so are absurd.
    1. I wanted to see what would happen
    2. I didn't think Leave would win
    3. I didn't like David Cameron
    4. There are too many Muslims
    5. The Belgians make our laws

    Total nonsense. Second referendum please.

    Does anybody else get the feeling that things are really happening around the world, this is it the real GFC 2.0?

    In 2008 the bailouts postponed the real crash, but that just pushed the problems into the future and made them worse.

    Look at the civil unrest spreading with the yellow vest movements. There is no way the people will stand for another bailout or bail in.

    Look at stock markets crashing around the world?

    Look at the Clintons being investigated and others in the deep state.

    Look at crypto’s crashing all the way to almost nothing.

    Look at Europe falling apart and no deal Brexit.

    Look at the derivative time bomb going off, just at a time when property, stocks, bonds GDP all falling.......

    I could go on.
