France macron thrashes le pen

Thank God - the reverse of this would probably have destroyed the EU the Euro and bankrupted all of the problem countries including Portugal

sign of relief and a round of applause for commonsense

What was it you called me, when I referred to God in a previous thread?

Allez les Bleu, vive Macron.

old people have bad memories - i only remember half man half monkey

or demi-singe if you prefer

anyway i can say god as many times as i like - i'm almost Bhuddist and we do that kind of thing - neither believing or disbelieving - judging or being held acountable etc etc

That's democracy for you...... not everyone ever gets what they want but it's the wish of the majority & the minority must respect that whether they like it or not but I reckon it's going to make a harder Brexit more likely

Oh you mentioned the "B" word, and now he's got a new keyboard that give our Patron saint of moaning a reason to rant.

couldn't work out why it would have been a "Frexit" surely it would have been the French word for exit with a FR in front??

Mr Macron wants to reform the EU, and must as a French man not want to create a precedence should France ever opt out.

i suppose if ireland want to leave it would be a fec it

mf - i'm amazed you think the weird French way of chosing a president is even remotely democratic - its less of the best man wins than the worst ones throw it away
Doesn't that bre@it crap sound boring after a while
still i couldn't care less - je suis tres content

mfesharne

eish...... my apologies but let's hope he doesn't get too over excited about my little slip of the keyboard.

I certainly agree with Macron that the EU needs reforming & I wish him luck with that but I won't hold my breath. lol!

I can think of someone I'd like to see hold their breath that long

i love democracy
sadly like reality it doesn't really exist
just everyones different perception of it
i like the communist version - where the many can vote for the one - as many times as they like
where the great philosophers say 'whats the true cost of democracy' and the Americans quote you a price

you're a grumpy old monkey today - did t may give a speech again - where she says da will of da peeple - then cuts benefits - steals pensions - trashes the NHS - decides fracking is perfect for anywhere she doesn't live and increases tax for anyone earning less than 80k

You've got boring with the Monkey jokes. I'd hope a person of intellect would know when it's gone on too long.....

carvoeiro

aw gee i'm sorry - i'm guessing not the first time in your life the monkey jokes have hit a sore spot - at least thats what David attenborough told me
still life will be better soon when you're living in the tree filled Portuguese countryside
gr apes everywhere

carvoeiro

BEVS
