“ UK government officials fear tailbacks and chaos at UK ports in three months’ time unless the EU again delays plans to introduce a biometric travel registration scheme requiring facial and finger scanning.From 6 October all non-EU nationals will be required to enter biometric and fingerprint technology under a new European entry/exit system.The scheme’s introduction is seen as a critical moment when British citizens – as opposed to businesses – will suddenly feel the impact of the end of free movement on their daily lives. Part of the problem is that an app prepared by the EU and Frontex that is supposed to streamline the process of registering individual data is not yet definitely ready.”

France doesn’t have proportional representation.

Paul Campbell ● 230d

Following our skewed general election result, wouldn’t it be better if we had some kind of proportional representation…? Hang on, there’s some news just coming through from France!

Peter Evans ● 230d

Hilarious speech from Rachel Reeves today as she announces austerity measures!

Steve Taylor ● 230d

People like supporting these dodgy far right foreign parties on social media but they are less comfortable with being confronted with the implications of what that makes them. Plus ca change …

Chaos behind us,sunlit uplands ahead.

David Burke ● 230d

Indeed, and spreading toxic lies about people, another one of his increasingly nasty habits.

Russell Pearson ● 231d

The chaos just begins in the UK

Steve Taylor ● 231d

As the UK turns it back on chaos, the French spot a gap in the market.

Things like this make you appreciate that FPTP can have advantages over PR in terms of stability of government.

Andrew Jones ● 231d

Macron has declared that he will stay in office "to ensure stability". Really? Let's see how that works out.

N V Brooks ● 231d

You don't need to worry about a shortage of that stuff Russell, there's more than enough to go around here.😷

Adrian Irving ● 231d

Macron is totally stuffed. He can’t govern now. He lost the gamble. Le Pen has totally disrupted French politics. The natives are restless.

100% Bullsh1t

What a relief!I don't know about you guys but the reason I'm up early was to stock up on Camembert and Châteauneuf-du-Pape but having seen the news I'll hold off for now.Maybe I'll get in a couple of dozen frankfurters instead. Looking a bit doggy over there too.You can't be too careful these days.

Adrian Irving ● 231d

Vive la France!

Stewart Jones ● 231d

The word is macron is going to resign tomorrow. We will see

Julian Pavey ● 231d

Ha,this far let Jean-Luc Mélenchon on looking is a dangerous man. PS. Left rioted last week when loosing. Left rioting tonight when they win

Julian Pavey ● 231d

Yeah it probably would have been better if he'd just let the fascists take over France like Russ and Michael and Putin were hoping.

Paul Campbell ● 231d

A terrible miscalculation if he is relying on the French Communists to form a stable coalition. The PCF is, in effect, controlled by trades unions so stability in industrial relation will be 'interesting' given the French propensity to strike at the drop of a hat.

N V Brooks ● 231d

It seems that when it comes to the crunch people will choose anything other than the far right. As Macron calculated.

Paul Campbell ● 231d

Going to get messy. Spectacularly. Mélenchon and Macron akimbo in bed together.

Russell Pearson ● 231d

"But who are the New Popular Front?""They are an alliance of Socialists, Ecologists, Communists and France Unbowed (LFI)"Im not sure whats worse

Julian Pavey ● 231d

Absolument aucune pertinence pour Chiswick, sauf qu’il permet à Paul l’imbécile de dire plus de conneries.

N V Brooks ● 231d

Good photos of sad and disappointed National Rally supporters on the BBC website tonight. It's a really diverse crowd of white fascistshttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck7gydwgvy8t

Paul Campbell ● 231d

Commiserations Russ. The fascists have been put back in their box again.

Paul Campbell ● 231d

What a politically illiterate petty bourgeois bellend you are.

Russell Pearson ● 231d

C’est un crétin sans l’intellect pour voir au-delà de son propre reflet dans un miroir.

N V Brooks ● 231d

Yes. I read their posts

Paul Campbell ● 231d

James Roy ● 231d

Triste, triste petit homme, l’idiot de Grove Park parle mais personne ne l’écoute.

N V Brooks ● 231d

Humpty, do you have any reason to assume that anyone on this forum supports the National Rally in France ?
