Francophone German speaker, actually native Brit but citizen of everywhere - it's nice to be anywhere at my age. At ease in Argentina, France, Spain, Germany and even in good old Blighty. Questing after unknown unknowns.

Gladiator was actually filmed south of Sienna in the val d'Orcia, but my photos there were not so good.

This is an appalling film. Reform yearns for the days of Pea Souper fogs and abject poverty experienced by millions.

Actually, no! But mostly monoglot Brits are more inward looking and ess well informed.

There's this mad notion that the existence of ID cards means EU countries are less free and less democratic. I have never understood the objection to ID cards. It is a bit like the objection to FoM and metric measures. The crazy idea that we few, we happy few, set on a silver sea are different.

There is this notion propagated by the right that all 'red tape' is bad. It really isn't. We need law and order and red tape is vital for our safety.

Mason always seems to report setbacks suffered by Reform as something Farage won't be pleased about. Well of course he won't be pleased, but the listener infers that this is bad news for all of us. It also implies that Farage is the victim.

The 'good' bit is just to appease the Brexiters. I suppose the 'good' is that some of them initially felt better. And there's 20% VAT on school fees and dirtier beaches.

And despite a total lack of Brexit coverage the UK population is not pro Brexit.

The UK is not just one country. Many people do not hold these prejudices. You cannot dimiss the whole UK like this.

The role of the RW media must be addressed - Murdoch's publications, the Mail, Express and Telegraph plus the total inability of the BBC do confront deliberate elies about the EU, depicting them all too often as 'honestly held opinions' (a bit like 'justified concerns about mass migration').

There is this mad belief amongst Brexiters that every single unemployed / ambitious person in the EU wants to come to the UK. And all the Turks, too. Untrue. FoM is not and never was 'open borders to the whole world'. We would hardly notice it now, but Brexit was never about facts.

Many people like bad behaviour. Cruelty is part of the MAGA narrative. And of course in a case like this many people will say that the victim's supposed promiscuity lessens the evil of the gang rape and indeed somehow justifies it.

And this , despite the fact that the media lie about or ignore Brexit damage. If the people knew the truth about Brexit more would want to reverse it.

There is a fake UK brewed Cruzcampo (and Mahou). Beware. Estrella Galicia is only brewed in Spain.

Indeed. Any institution, be it a school, company or indeed the neighbourhood grocery store, has a duty of care.
