DJ Barry Hammond Posted 7 May 2017 Share Posted 7 May 2017 19 minutes ago, Lionator said: Congratulations France. You've voted for more terrorism, more EU, more red tape, more tax, just as much socialism as before, more immigrants, less control over your future and no patriotism - all because someone said the other person was a 'fascist'. That's the top rated comment on the BBC News Facebook site. It's so terribly wrong, it's so terribly uneducated. I argue that far right candidate's social agenda will lead to more terrorism, that actually Macron is not only a patriot of France, but also is allowing opportunity for the French people to progress, to become a better country. He offers opportunity. Social media has given the opportunity to a large number of xenophobic, some racist, to have a platform and it's quite scary (And I'm not tarring people with the same brush and not connecting this to Brexit in any shape or form). It's not about being fed up of the establishment, it's about fear and it's about hatred of others and today opportunity beat fear and hatred and I for one am pleased.

Just braved it, my favourite post is one of a person screaming for how Muslims are invading western civilisation and how violent behavour should be banished by carpet bombing all Islamic area's of French cities. Interesting logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon the Hat Posted 7 May 2017 Share Posted 7 May 2017 3 hours ago, Foxxed said: The Mirror reckons Macron isn't going to allow us to join the Single Market - which we voted to join in the 70s or 80s referendum - unless we abide by free movement of people and pay into the budget. Our deal won't be better than Norway's essentially. And he'll ensure Brexit is beneficial to the union's members rather than ex-members. Seems as expected. I have heard some people saying he won't be a push over and will be a tough negotiator though. We don't want to join the single market. We voted to leave it.

Until May and Corbyn came along, the leaders of all the major parties were younger than me (Cameron, Miliband, Clegg/Farron, Sturgeon, Farage, Leanne Wood...).

The EU and the Single Market are separate. They often go together but they are not the same thing. Norway is the member of one but not the other. The renowned liberal Margret Thatcher was a fan of the Single Market. Your average Corbynite fan hates Thatcher for this. They say she was the architect of European neoliberalism. I'm now in a thread about the French election talking about the Single Market to someone who I assume is politically right of me and now posting a link to MargretThatcher.org to better explain my point. http://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/107219 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, one step closer to the "holy war" isis wants. How much easier would it be to recruit french 'fighters' when you can use Le Pen and half the country as your argument to join.

Rincewind Posted 8 May 2017 Share Posted 8 May 2017 Thats OK. I do not know much about Macron. One thing about the French they stand no nonsense and the people stick together.
