Why not get sassy,and put in an application for Interpol.!!! it's 30 years ago now,but I also a couple of good friends ,who also worked for the Police in Marseilles, one was mixed Belgian-English,the other English, But since he was 17, lived,educated,and only worked in France. They heard talks of "out-sourcing program",so the English (Warren) guy put in a request for a Work-change requests to the Gendarmes, The other ( Andre) for a promotion crossing into another section...eventually ,both took ,over 2 years,but the requests were respected,and they were not threatened ,with the outsourcing program...(coincidence,no idea).. I lost track 15 -10yrs respectively, from both,but I know they kept to the force,and the Belgian friend did go to Interpol,(low-key),more like heavy office analysing and cross checking relevant similar incidents. The English guy ,and I don't understand the variations,but sometimes interfaced with the Local -Military...!!,and got his wish becoming a Gendarme...he actually found a colleague,who was English,and moved from The British-marines,and then a redcap/RMP.. .Then by means of his mother decided to settle in France,with French-wife... Just a short snapshot of how one travels works on foreign-shores,and the people one meets and interfaces with then after a while like ships in the night, Either short or long passes in the night,and according to lives courses,follow other stars... @FIF just sharing ideas...

davieG Posted 7 February 2019 Share Posted 7 February 2019 To sexy for my shirt Scotland's official football kit retailer has removed a suggestive photo advertising women's football strips after a father complained. JD Sports came under fire after using a model with ripped jeans, posing provocatively, to sell the female version of the official shirt. Pictures of the men's and children's versions were presented in a more traditional standing pose. The Scottish FA asked JD Sports to remove the image and it did. Both the retailer and the SFA apologised "for any upset caused". 'Everyday sexism' Father-of-two Simon Kemp made his complaint after going online to buy new Scotland tops for his family. The business development manager from Argyll and Bute is taking his daughter - a keen footballer - and his son to France in June to watch Scotland v England at the Women's World Cup. But he was shocked to see the women's kit sold in what he believed was inappropriate compared to the men's and children's versions. I guess he has a point.

Quite an incredible thing to happen given the last time France had to do this was 1940 after Italy declared war on them. The five-star party really are a naughty bunch, they are quite Eurosceptic and that seems to mean it's a free for all when it comes to disturbing Macron. Are the Italian government now working to destabilise the EU as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be averse to a Labour government led by a sensible moderate. Just not an Antisemitic far left wing nut job. i wouldn’t vote Labour, but I’ve long believed that a bit of each party gets you in a sensible direction over time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf Bentley Posted 8 February 2019 Share Posted 8 February 2019 Your handy Brexit schedule: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/feb/08/countdown-to-brexit-key-dates-uk-eu-exit-approaches With 50 days remaining until Britain is scheduled to leave the EU on 29 March, the two sides have agreed to continue exploring possible tweaks to the Brexit deal that might get it over the line in the House of Commons, while still respecting the EU27’s guidelines.So far, neither looks set to budge. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking for Westminster, Brussels and businesses. Here are some of the key dates and deadlines as Brexit finally gets real. 8 February: possible export problems. From this week, freighters setting sail from UK ports with cargo for far-flung destinations such as Australia and New Zealand, a journey of about 50 days, risk arriving after Brexit day with – in the event of a no-deal Brexit – no idea of the trade rules that will be in place. 14 February: Brexit debate in the Commons: This is most likely to be a general debate following a prime ministerial statement, because Theresa May will almost certainly not have a revised deal by then. But amendments to the motion could lead to “indicative votes” on Brexit options or an extension of the two-year article 50 process, possibly via a relaunched Yvette Cooper-Nick Boles amendment setting a deadline for MPs to back the agreement. 14 February: first statutory instrument deadline. According to the Institute for Government, this is the final day on which about half the secondary legislation needed to import EU laws can be introduced, because parliament must be given 40 sitting days to object to it. EU-related SIs can be passed more quickly in “urgent circumstances”, but still need to be approved by both houses within a 28-day window. 17 February: more trade woes. From this date, ships setting sail for Japan from the UK and vice versa could arrive to find themselves in the middle of no-deal tariff mayhem. 20 February: international treaty ratification deadline. About 80 of roughly 100 international treaties with other countries remain to be ratified by parliament, a process that – barring “exceptional cases” – requires 21 sitting days. 28 February: self-imposed deadline agreed by May and the European commission president, Jean-Claude Juncker, to discuss progress made by the two sides towards a revised deal the prime minister can bring back to the Commons. Early-mid March: second “meaningful vote”. The European Union(Withdrawal) Act 2018 obliges the British parliament to hold a vote on the withdrawal agreement before the European parliament has its say. 21-22 March: article 50 extension request? With barely a week to go before Brexit day, EU leaders gather for their annual spring summit. This is when some EU officials think the UK might ask for more time to conclude Brexit by requesting an extension to article 50. This would need to be agreed unanimously by the EU27 and there is no time limit for it to do so – it could happen very late. By 28 March: UK ratification of extension? If Britain has asked for an extension and the EU27 has granted it, both houses of parliament must vote to allow the legally binding exit date of 29 March to be changed. Mid-late March: UK ratification of deal. If MPs eventually back May’s deal without an article 50 extension, the government still has to get the bill through both houses. Primary legislation of this sort can be rushed through quickly, perhaps with controversial elements stripped out. But an avalanche of amendments could still make the 29 March departure date unattainable. 25-28 March: EU ratification. If there has been no extension, the European parliament’s second Strasbourg meeting would be the last chance for MEPs to vote through the withdrawal agreement to get it agreed before Brexit day. EU ambassadors would then have a few dozen hours to rubber-stamp the final deal. 29 March: Brexit day? Without an extension, the UK will formally leave the EU on 29 March at 11pm UK time (midnight in Brussels). EU officials think a last-minute plea for more time by the UK would be unlikely, as by this late hour, events would have their own momentum. Equally unlikely, they believe, is the possibility of Britain cancelling Brexit – although the European court of justice set no notice period when it ruled the UK could unilaterally revoke article 50, so in theory, the government could still make a U-turn even at this stage. 15-18 April: EU ratification following an extension. If the UK has been granted a short technical extension to complete the Brexit process, MEPs’ monthly plenary meeting in Strasbourg would be the final opportunity for the European parliament to ratify the agreement before European elections. 23-26 May: European elections. If the UK sought and obtained an extension to article 50 that went beyond 2 July – the first day of the new parliament – it would have to take part in those elections, EU officials have said.

Well you can only borrow money for so long until you have to pay it back and most people didn't want to keep borrowing and screw over their children even more in 20 years time after another 2 decades of borrowing. That's why austerity has won the last 3 elections despite most people voting for it through gritted teeth. Keynesian economics failed because it didn't recognise stagflation and didn't consider it possible that while it's universally accepted that when you borrow and invest inflation naturally goes up at a higher rate, that economic growth eventually stagnates amd unemployment rises. Jon the hat is right though. Generally, a cycle of a generation of borrowing and investing, followed by a cycle of a generation of austerity and paying it back is how it works best. After the financial crisis, a Tory government for a generation was naturally voted for. Whether that needs to come to an end or not remains to be seen. However, Labour's insistence on having a front bench novelty candidate who seem to glorify Latin American banana republics rather than having a serious candidate who offers sensible investment rhetoric rather than "Castro and Chavez were great men" mean the electorate don't really have that alternative to vote for. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because we see the model current Labour have championed and it's a place where political opposition has been imprisoned, millions have fled the country, people are breaking into zoos to eat food, humanitarian aid is having to be delivered and inflation is at 1,000,000%. Maybe just think about that for a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 8 February 2019 Share Posted 8 February 2019 A Labour MP is facing a vote of no confidence from local party members who accuse her of "continuously criticising" Jeremy Corbyn. Luciana Berger has spoken out over the party's handling of anti-Semitism and its stance on Brexit. She has been backed by former Labour leader Ed Miliband. But shadow chancellor John McDonnell said she should reject claims she supported a "breakaway party" to show members she was "sticking with Labour". Ms Berger said she would be not be "distracted from fighting for the interests of my constituents". An extraordinary meeting has been called in the Liverpool Wavertree constituency next week to discuss two no confidence motions. Such votes carry no official force within the Labour Party but local activists could hold a "trigger ballot", where sitting Labour MPs can be forced to compete for selection as a candidate against all-comers, ahead of the next general election. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47169929 Why do I get the feeling that the Labour Party are getting more like the McCarthyism? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
