Is Macron grandstanding?

Macron has definitely shot himself in the foot, being egged on these last few months by the one and only Tony Blair.

I think haters just like to bash “the French” and ignore all the other countries that have imposed a travel ban.

I think that has more to do with geography vegansrock. I know there are a few other entry countries by sea to mainland Europe, but England to France and vice versa is the link.

Explain please. I don't understand your comment.

Good to see the French Fire Brigade taking 10,000 tests to Dover and working alongside British colleagues to administer them this morning.

Elianne so just because France is closer means they shouldn't control their borders? I thought that’s what the Brexit fans wanted? Also, there are ferries from the U.K. to The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, and Norway. Are all these other countries not entitled to try to protect their citizens? Maybe if the U.K. had closed its borders or insisted on testing travellers back in March we wouldn’t have such high figures.

Seeing as Brexit supporters keep insisting that one of their reasons for voting for this mess was to due with 'sovereignty' why on earth are they so upset when France exercise their right to sovereignty? Is it perhaps because they have just realised that we had these rights all along?

Yes that is good to see Mamie.

Maybe it because now it makes them look bad to the world.

Without this utterly soul destroying brexit nonsense, we might have had a government able to concentrate properly on addressing the pandemic.

That might be optimistic with Johnson is charge May have had a better chance of a decent cabinet I guess.

I expect too that Macron is also aware of our crap testing system.

He is showing up every inadequate thing in the U.K.

Because he can.

Because everything is France is so much better eh?
What a laugh!
He is grandstanding and petulant ( bet he’s not happy with the fishing quotas either.)

There has been so much moaning about Brexit and the chance of a no deal scenario, and now that we have secured a trade deal am guessing that there will be just as much moaning (and sour grapes.)

Of course a deal is better than complete chaos.

Still haven’t been told what will be better than before though.

I can think of a lot that will be worse.

Well yes, this thin, barely a Deal, Deal - is better than none, that is for sure.

But the best Deal we ever had, we willfully chucked it in a fit of (for some, jingoïstic) nationalism. Which still does, and always will, feel like a massive act of self-harm, for what ???

Blue Passports ..lol

Sour grapes will be when the grapes can't come, or have gone mouldy and sour on the long long journey.
