    Eye, Eye, Aïe!!!

    Just a word to let people know that I haven't disappeared willingly from either the political or football scene. Underwent eye surgery on Wednesday in a clinic just outside Toulouse. I've been told not to use the computer for a while, whilst I work to expel a ball of gas in the right eye (some...

    French presidential election 2017

    The job of writing a long article to explain the race to l'elysée up to now had prevented me from starting a thread. Happily, this article from the Independent does most of it for me. I would agree with the majority of what is written (apart from liking Le Pen to Clinton!)......thank God we...
  3. US Presidential election thread

    OK - I think we need a thread that doesn't specifically focus on Trump, and we also need a thread with a few ground rules. I'm not sure why but I always tend to get quite involved with the US elections (and US politics in general). This year's election is bound to be fascinating, and you can...
  4. The truth about OBL

    Long, but I'm sure some of the conspiracy theorists on here will like it. Murmurings that it could have a big impact on the presidential election http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n10/seymour-m-hersh/the-killing-of-osama-bin-laden

    God bless America

    I gather we are renaming the territorials the 'Army Reserve' - just so happens to be the same name as the American ones,we have 'Homeland security' after the American ones - Great Britain Olympic team is nowaday 'Team GB' named after Team USA - i have heard pundits on 5 live saying during...
  6. A socialist, an illegal immigrant, and a muslim walk into a bar...

    the bartender asks "What will you have Mister President?" anyone else hooked on the presidential campaigns and debates across the pond? I guess it's because I watched The West Wing relatively recently, but boy do they put on a good (but expensive) show! vs

    The french presidential election............and beyond

    From my Facebook Page A worrying night in the French Presidential Election............and my worry is not for 2012 but for 2017. Nearly a third of French voters chose to vote for the extreme left or extreme right, with a far larger majority opting for the latter. Between 18% and 20% appear...

    DSK A tragedy for the world (apart from Mr Sarkozy?)

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13402845 A breathtaking story with the likelyhood of tragic consequences. It is difficult to see how DSK can continue the delicate negociations concerning the problem economies of the Eurozone, with these charges hanging over his head. There seems to me...

    Disenfranchised in england and in france

    It's at times like this, just before a General Election that I regret my inaction during my years in France in keeping my right to vote in UK elections. In my defense I could say that there were other things occupying my mind and with the widening gap of house prices between Britain and France...

    Forgive me my right-wing brothers

    This isn't an attempt to mend fences and look to ingratiate myself with the left-wing posters who gloried in the victory of Barack Obama, but I have had something of a change in heart. I still don't think Obama is a worthy presidential candidate, and I am upset that he got such an easy ride...
  11. Midweek Funny

    Not many people know this but the day after the US presidential election George W Bush boarded a flight to England to see his old mate Tony Blair. He kept it all very quiet, simply boarding Air Force 1 with an overnight bag and his trusty pet dog. He knocked on the door at Chequers and the...
