Family, property, friends etc. I have financial interests in the UK and other parts of Europe, I have a large extended family mostly in the Bolton area but outposts in Buckinghamshire and East Renfrewshire and a number of lifelong friends who still stay in regular contact, BWFC. What makes you think I wouldn't want what I consider to be the very best possible for all of those? Just asked a question because I interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that response met your requirements then. Forgetting financial issues and others, the emotional links to Bolton, Lancashire and England will never fade. Not far off living back there for at least one month every year if plans reach fruition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must know people who emigrate and don’t give a fuck what happens in their birth country? Which I can understand new country fresh start never looking back and all that , not that I could do that but I get why people do. What does interest me is people’s point of views and opinions on what happens in the country they emigrated from in particular politics. i work with people who are from all over the world and their political views from places they’re from is fascinating , and they think the same about here at the moment.

Members bolty58 Posted December 6, 2019 Members Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) I do not know a single Brit over here who does not maintain strong links with home and remains interested in everything from UK football to Brexit to the price of baked beans at Morrisons. I do know a very few (in my view treacherous bastards) who support Australian teams against English ones which just does not compute in my world. Maybe they hadn't lived for 33 years in Blighty like I had before coming here and developed the depth of feeling for what for me will always be home. As you might guess, I keep them at arms length and exchange only basic, mild pleasantries. Wouldn't trust anyone like that as far as I could throw them. The general hoi polloi I associate with at walking football, scooter club events, soul nights etc. remain loyal to a man and are most definitely always ready to discuss UK football and politics.

Massive demos in France as we speak......isn't the EU magic ? The riots in France are about changes to pensions which the French say will mean they work longer. Their pension age is 62. Ours is 66. That has nothing to do with the EU. Unless you are saying our pension age will go back to 60/62 when we leave? Are you claiming that?

That is a very fair point. I may question the sanity, depravity and vanity of some of the contributors on WWays but I can never question their dogged persistence even in the face of utter and certain annihilation. Example - Red Mick and Leigh Whites devotion to that Marxist, terrorist sympathising, anti semitic, chardonnay swilling 'comrade' from Islington.

It’s not a state pension issue is it? I thought it was around gold plated public sector pensions and 75% of France supports the proposed changes Think we went through a similar thing about ten years ago Edited December 6, 2019 by birch-chorley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indirectly it could be linked to Brexit, France and Germany going to have to put more in to keep it going, they have to claw it back somewhere.

The original yellow vests were demonstrating against the EU, the media like to suggest otherwise hence why they don't like to show too much of the violence from the police. The movement marched onto the EU HQ several months ago and still regularly burn the EU flag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The French government know that the U.K. have a more competitive and less unionised workforce and as we leave the EU and it’s regulatory straight jacket we will offer businesses a massive competitive edge to set up in the U.K. against the likes of France.
