I mean, in Braveheart "historical accuracy" sort of stops at William Wallace existed and it was in Scotland tbf

Yeah, sounds like 1 What I would defo do is contact them if you haven't heard by 13 Oct

Much of the coverage today is absolutely nuts. The facts are on Wikipedia. The full Intelligence and Security Committee (Russia) Report is online. Tory media & politicians once again banking on their average consumer/voter being too daft/busy/blinkered to notice...

I mean, I thought he was bonkers but he had a purpose, and a dream, and he's actually done it And he's seen the world, and its better than Hull

Have they painted over the sharks teeth?

if he doesn't own a pair of nonce glasses I'll eat yesterdays undekecks

No, I 100% agree with that bit btw

You know we all take the **** when Michael Deacon or Alistair Heath writes something? It is perfectly possible for other journalists to do the same There is a lot going on here that is, er, shall we say, "leaping into the future and this will happen and THIS will happen and THIS will happen"

Jesus lads, you think that Sweden/Finland/the Baltics/UK and almost certainly others (Italy as well for sure) are going to stop supporting Ukraine cos France might* *if the AfD start winning in former West Germany I'll start to take it a lot more seriously There is a LOT of stuff going on here

As I've said, there are a lot of reasons that aren't based on what looks like right wing wish lists going forward that make stuff a bit more complicating for that The security situation will not change The economic reality will not change And elections go both ways, as MAGA is going to find out

I'll await to see just how likely she is do all that when she is actually running stuff in all honesty Sounds a lot like a right wing wish list of what to get out of the EU while retaining all the benefits, and as we all know, that isn't how it works

British Conservatives: "Russia has disgracefully interfered in politics in France, Germany, Sweden, Hungary, Moldova, Romania and invaded Ukraine. They even meddled in the US elections." Also British Conservatives: "What? Russia! Interfere in Brexit? Ridiculous! Just a tired old conspiracy theory."

FN no longer want to leave the EU (unless that has changed recently) That implies to me single market/customs union, and thankfully there is a basket case example of a country leaving the EU should she develop a change of mind

How many active right wing parties in the bloc are anti-EU? As in, we want to leave?

Its 20 miles away A UK in the EU helps both of us, if only from a trading prospective And as I've just said to Jon, the security considerations don't magically disappear just because Le Pen is pro-Putin Putin isn't pro-Le Pen or France, he's pro-Russia and pro-whatever it takes for his legacy

Yes, but we are talking about a decision that would have a generation of implications here You can't base a decision on whether the French are going to vote in a government we don't like for a bit can we? And again, those security implications are still relevant whoever is in charge

Hang on a sec, I get there is a danger of a Le Pen win but she isn't going to say "Non" if the deal is right And there for every right wing government that takes over in Europe, there will be a left wing/centre government replacing a right wing one somewhere else
