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).

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
