I know GrannyGravy ?it gets bizarre at times.

Who took it OT with their unpleasant remark about the French?

You may see it as an ‘unpleasant’ remark, I see it as a true one.
The French government have never fallen over themselves to do anything to help the UK.

Some of us quite like the French..... ?

Dating back to 1295, the Auld Alliance was built upon Scotland and France’s shared interests in controlling England’s aggressive expansion plans.

Plus ça change.

Speaks volumes about you, lemon

Goodbye and good luck! I'd rather live in and be part of a Great Britain than part of a not so great EU.

I think it speaks volumes about you MaizieD and some other EU lovers on here that you hate your own country.

MaizieD when rational argument fails you invariably become personal.
You haven’t read much history, obviously.

That was a mistake ??

lemongrove- you didn't say "the French government" in your original remark - you said "the French" .. a bit of a difference, making a nasty remark about 50 odd million people.

Just because you say something nice about another country doesn't mean you "hate your own country". How does that make sense. I love France and I love my own country too- not mutually exclusive.

I thought it was so obvious that it didn’t need saying.
The actual people of a country don’t come into it, it’s those with power ( the govt) that counts.

Only copying your own mantra whitwave ( which never fails to amuse!)

granny 23 my last message was for you. It's like a marriage, if one partner wishes to leave, even though you still love them - let them go, there's no point in wasting your life trying to make them change their mind! The UK should be united, but if Scotland wants to go see should let you go! Goodbye and good luck in the EU in the future. I feel much safer here in Britain than affiliated to the EU and becoming under their control

clare??

lemongrove it might be obvious to you that "the French" is the same as "the French Government" but it doesn't mean the same thing. Anyway, even in you apologetic version, it isn't true, there are numerous Anglo-French cooperative initiatives which have been mutually beneficial, if you want list I'll make one.

I meant the failing to read much history? I’ll let maizie advise you on that

I expect she has Oxbridge degrees in history, politics and economics at the very least then.? Or even better!
If anyone seriously thinks that the French ( and no, not the people naturally) have ever had British interests at heart, then they are sorely mistaken.

Misleading Vegan.
Radcliffe has bought the Mercedes plant that built “Smart” cars, he intends to build the “Grenadier” which is a ultra luxury version of the Landrover Defender it will probably appeal to the Arabs. I guess French jobs were more valued than Welsh jobs.
Factory will be asset stripped within 5 yrs.

God, everything that the U.K. has built up during the past 40 years is being hollowed out.

We do co-operate with several European states, certainly Aerospace, Defence, Energy and Research, and France is high up the list. Now we are out of the EU I would expect that to gradually reduce, after all the objective of Brexit was to get a better deal from elsewhere.

The problem is that when it comes to size we are Little Britain. EU is Great. Or did you think 'Great' as in 'Great Britain' meant something else?
