. I said. WTF, it’s a rake, he shrugged and said, « it’s France »…. Yeah - and I'm saying that a disingenuous argument because the party in charge and the leave campaign were saying that would lead to decreased immigration.

Except the party in charge, the main party in opposition and the third irrelevant party were all pro remainYeah - and I'm saying that a disingenuous argument because the party in charge and the leave campaign were saying that would lead to decreased immigration.
This is a Boris statement from before the referendum - granted he does say he is pro-immigration, but the clear subtext here is that voting leave would lead to less immigration (deleted from the voteleave website hence the archive link):
Boris Johnson: The only way to take back control of immigration is to Vote Leave on 23 June
Vote Leave, take control
In the 2019 Tory manifesto it says ' overall numbers will come down': https://www.conservatives.com/our-plan/conservative-party-manifesto-2019
I get it - they used 'take back control', but my argument is that that was widely understood to mean that brexit would be mean lower immigration (as promised in all Tory manifestos for a decade) and that has not happened.
I don't particularly mind that it hasn't - I wasn't concerned by EU free movement because the rights were reciprocal and immigration is largely driven by market demands. But if we are measuring the 'success' of brexit, then on this measure, it is a failure.
This isn't a leave/remain argument - that is over. Leave won. This is a question of whether Brexit is achieving what its proponents said (or implied) it would.
Deflection Rob1. What's that git to do with the matter. You have a pro Leave Tory UKIP government since 2019. Immigration is increasing. Either Brexit didn't deliver the result many expected, ir the Leave side politicians lied or were fools. Take your pick.
Makes stolen kit harder to sell as nobody French will buy without proper docs.i can see that but now find I can’t really understand it
for example, here you here the French complain about macron and his government; not UVDL
oh, a real simple example… 3 years ago we bought a new rake, but a twin rotar one so with wheels. The dealer turned up with its (French) vehicle registration document
yes, I think back in the uk the statement would of been « it’s the EU »

Plenty of MPs of both parties were leave supporters, it was the official party policy of both to remain, remember the wild predictions they made that didnt happen and the lies they told, how many uk politicians have gone on to cushy jobs in the EU over the years, perhaps Cameron et al were looking after themselves.Didn’t that tell you something?
Me, I would do away with speed limits, or, at least make them something sensible like 150mph.
All parties are in favour of ridiculously slow speed limits. So, I have to think to myself, am I the only clever person in town and everyone else is daft ; or maybe I am the one in the wrong
Immigration had nothing to do with why I voted leave and was only one part of the debate, what others voted for is their business
Almost every house in the mid price band in our area is being snapped up for holiday lets. This is being fuelled by the demand by Brits for stay at home holidays. Judging by the chaos this week at the airports that trend is likely to continue.

I saw today where a government minister was castigating the travel industry for not preparing for the surge in demand. The airports are 100,00 employees light and cannot recruit enough staff. The irony is that almost every government department is totally dysfunctional because they haven`t woken up to the fact that life is returning to normal.
Except that Corbyn was a leaver at heart but a fence sitter in practice.
I agree with you to a point but the holiday industry is vital to our economy and the leading alternative would be a retired city dweller looking for a home in the country. Said person or persons would soon enter old age and become another statistic that the infrastructure cannot handle. Employment in rural industries has steadily fallen over the years so we have to accept that communities are populated by the holidaying and the dying.as I wrote elsewhere, currently easyJet (ironic or what) are very bad for last minute cancellations.
But... holiday “homes” are the pits for small communities
Sadly government intervention has made holiday lets far more attractive, why be saddled with a bad tenant that government intervention has made it extremely difficult to evict when you can get as much for a weeks holiday let as you would for a months tenant income.as I wrote elsewhere, currently easyJet (ironic or what) are very bad for last minute cancellations.

Not good but that has been the situation in some locations for years. The old saying about Madeira was that it was populated by the newly weds and the nearly deads. Perhaps it was Brighton, I cannot be sure!promising outlook
