It?s not our borders that are the problem.


Macron playing silly buggers because his presidency is shaky and he?s hoping for re-election is inconveniencing many EU lorry drivers not to mention French exporters.

If Macron has that much power over us lets just elevate him to the House of Lords where he obviously belongs with Claire, Alexander and Peter Cruddas. Maybe he can do Prime Minister as a sideline.

The lorry drivers will be well employed in the eu and extremely reluctant to do trips to the U.K. in future. That?s the lesson to learn here


We haven?t left yet - we are just a few working days away from ending transition. But the testing before the end date and the new strain have illustrated the problems with the uks notion of sovereignty


Speaking of sovereignty, france is utilising theirs, despite being bound by their slave masters. Or whatever keano is calling them this week


And still, and still leavers are doubling down blaming everyone but themselves for the decisions they have made and learning nothing. It?s all still ?prosper mightily? and ?over by Christmas? and still you believe.

Actually, we have. We left the EU at the end of Jan this year, that was Brexit.

The 11 month transition period we're in now is to allow for finalizing a trade deal and also to allow all parties/businesses etc to get ready for a deal...

It isn't just Macron who has reacted to the new variant in the UK, but more than half a dozen other countries too, with travelers from the UK also banned for now. Macron can not be accused of playing games here (Brexit level) given the effort to find a workable and safe way to get the lorries moving again asap. All of these countries have their own ongoing challenges with the pandemic and are acting in the best interests of their own public health structures.


I think we have to be careful to not conflate the real challenges of the pandemic, with the real challenges of Brexit. Brexit is its own beast with everything negotiable. There is no negotiating with a virus.

Thanks for the explanation, it's so difficult to keep up with the changing stories as to whether we have left or not depending on what argument people want to make on any given day.....

It's been a while since BB was accused of multiple IDs, I'm guessing before your time as Trinnydad.

If that's the case, care to tell us what you're previous ID('s) were?...

No, not Sephiroth.


But.


It's very easy to change your forum name, bite your tongue on occasion and invent a whole new back story.


It's very much harder to change the way you write.


Just saying.


ETA: Oh, and quickly delete those posts where you forget yourself and give yourself away in the middle of the night.


Or on occasion have those posts deleted by admin.

I think Admin can see IP addresses of posters - so the games up if they have the same IP all the time (of course users then claim they are flat mates and share an internet connection).

      WARNING . Please feed the birds in your garden

      By Angelina · Posted

      Great shout. They do need the extra fat when it’s winter, but don’t use fat balls from April as they are dangerous for nestlings as the babies can choke on lumps of the fat. When it gets milder switch to suet pellets as they are harder and don’t melt (the grease is bad for feathers.

      WARNING . Please feed the birds in your garden

      By malumbu · Posted

      Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.

      Apparently this year due to the weather there are fewer insects for the birds to eat. So please if you don’t usually buy fat balls & seeds to put out (in safe places to avoid the cats ) a plentiful supply . They really need it this year, especially with snow forecast later this week.    Thankyou

      Police Incident outside Rose Fish/Parade East Dulwich Roas

      I hope she and the rider of the bike are ok. I feel its understandable that locals may be concerned when they see a road taped off and police presence.
