Brexit has well and truly begun!

[Venturi Swirl]

BREXIT won't be sorted overnight, it will take years to get everything into place so best to leave the EU on the 29 March and do the horse trading afterwards.

I don’t think the British Public has the stomach for months / years of chaos and food shortages.  But we shall see soon enough...

What a good idea.

OMG! A shortage of lettuce! How will we survive? 

[Carana]

Another rollercoaster day, apparently.

Amendments.

The retailer consortium seems to be a little more concerned...

And Andrew Bridgen repeats the myth (first propagated by JRM, IIRC) that the UK will have tariff-free trade for 10 years under WTO's GATT Article XXIV while they thrash out an FTA. Spoiler: no it won't.

If you mean leave with no deal, the UK will be a half-dead nag, and the vultures will be swirling.

I haven't heard of anyone being worried about a shortage of lettuce but some seem to be anxious about vital medicines.
Whether they are correct to be anxious, I have no idea.

On a lighter note.  Been to the Banque Alimentair again today.  Really good, as ever.  And funded by The EU as well as food donated by local Supermarkets, only some of which is Sell by Date.

No one is ever made to feel belittled.

This for me is authorised by the local Mairie due to my appalling British State Pension which the whole of France thinks is a joke.

I have a lot to be thankful for.

My son tells me that Food Banks in Britain are also funded by The EU, so I am hard pushed to understand why Food Bank recipients in Britain are so despised.  Presumably this funding will stop if Britain leaves The EU.

No, I am not advocating Remain.  Probably the best that can be said is that France manages waste so much better than Britain, and has been doing so for more than Thirty years.

Good to hear that France is being helpful to you!

On turnips apparently.

France always has been, Carana.  This is why it has been difficult for me to decide what I think would be best for Britain.  But I still think that Brexit would be best.

France only see me as living below the bread line.  They aren't interested in my Nationality.  I am poor by their standards, so they help me.

More to the point, why are British State Pensions so disgusting?  I worked for all of my adult life for what I get.

Whoever thinks a vote to leave the EU meant a no-deal Brexit should ask themselves why pre-referendum a document called Our Case which Leave campaigners were encouraged to download and distribute to voters, and which is still available on their campaign website says: “Taking back control is a careful change, not a sudden stop — we will negotiate the terms of a new deal before we start any legal process to leave”.

That should be another for Led by Donkeys.

Aww, back in the good old days pre referendum when it all seemed so easy, so cake-and-eat-it, this was how it was going to work

I was reading about why some people think it makes sense for those living permanently in France to apply for a residency permit or carte de sejour. You may have one, but if not these people know all about it;
