I'm not sure she was convinced.

Is there evidence of this? I guess you have to define your terms first.

These are regulations for all of the EU. A Polish citizen has free movement throughout the EU and the right to family life covers all EU countries.

I'm surprised by this as EU citizens have a right to family life. This enabled my wife (US citizen) to be admitted to France on the same basis as me under the withdrawal agreement in 2020.

Have you sent this to Mr Trump? Maybe Harvard can do a deal.

Were you born in the US? I seem to remember something about a stable in the middle east.

I got that... but she started it. Without her, there is no 'them'.

Isn't that what everyone does, has always done? North/South, East/West, working class/middle class/aristocracy. It is just b*llocks to think that is a new phenomenon. For goodness sake, that is why the Labour Party was founded.

He is simply wrong. In 2024, the Guardian reported that 68% of British voters favoured free movement... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We liked it, used it, and live in France as do many others from the UK. I am sure many, many others would like to.

Here in France we have another 'Mother's Day'. My wife is American, I'm English, so that's three. Oh, and this year, it is May 25th (I had to check).

People really voted for this to avoid having an intelligent black woman as President? How on earth is the USA the most powerful country in the world?

Wait a minute... a voice of reason and conviction! We used to have those when I was a Labour member.

Smeg is also a brand of kitchen appliance. Or is that d*ckhead?

You might want to add something like... *'Research' is a process of locating and critically appraising all available evidence. It is not a doing a Google search and summarising the first result.

Yeah... that'll work.

In the UK, TCP is a liquid used for disinfecting minor wounds... not so much in the US.

The resistance has to come from many places, from politicians and judges, from institutions and academics, and from across the population. This abuse of power cannot stand.

I'm a bit older than you... but we share a birthday. Happy birthday for yesterday, E!

We share a birthday... I'm a bit older, but my guess is you have a few more books.

We all need 'good' each day - hard to come by in Trump/Kennedy's America though.

So... exposing children to fluoride leads to more IQ loss (a direct correlation) or less IQ loss (inverse)... Mr Kennedy is confused.

The rich hide their money from the HMSO. If you have an income of £800k you are rich. That's more than 20 times median family income!

One is too many! Labour used to be the party that raised people out of poverty. What has happened to the Party I have supported all my life?

There are plans for universal healthcare in every European country, you just have to pick one. France would be a good one for the US, basic healthcare from taxation with top up insurance from non-profits.

What about the wars between UK and Iceland over fishing? The "cod war"... or is "functioning democracy" stretching the UK system too much?

I always thought it strange that Republicans are colored red and Democrats blue. Red was also the color used for the USSR (remember that?). Now, thanks to Krasnov, it makes sense.

I wasn't criticising you, I assumed it was an official publication. It is an interesting report, but factually incorrect.

49% are not white, leaving 8% of unknown ethnicity. A majority is 50%+1.

Actually 43% is not a majority.

We don't have a codified constitution in the UK, but do know a lot about class systems. The UK has a poorly constructed democracy, if any. So does the US, which is why the 'ruling class' can define itself. 250 years ago, it was not a problem, but in your economic system, it was inevitable.
