Who will SF join with to form a government?

The only news coverage I seen was positive wrt young left leaning folks in Nice housing estates and pleasant conversations, then they showed links to GA and such, but nothing too overboard.

A lot of references to that dude who put austistic children on a waiting list, enjoying his own waiting list was funny/not funny.

Good Luck and I hope the trouble doesn’t get started and Peace can be achieved through peaceful means brother…

Your time has come :v:

EU has blacklisted the Camen Islands today… UK lost it veto power.

Surely that’s ironic?

#notthebrexitivotedfor should be a meme by now

As far as I know nothing has changed in terms of UK citizens entering Schengen in the transition period.

I have read some comments somewhere else where this tweet was posted. The explanation was that they did a practice session at Shiphol to prepare their personnel for the upcoming changes. No idea if that is accurate.

Makes sense. Though as someone who travels between Schengen and the UK a few times a month usually, not particularly heartening news. #exactlythebrexitididn’tvotefor

The killer will be the end of wave through entry or use of the machines. Every UK passport will have to be properly checked against a database, so if you land in a tourist resort like Tenerife where multiple UK flights often land in a short period of time, think an hour to get through immigration.

The EU will tell Britain to give back the ancient Parthenon Marbles, taken from Greece over 200 years ago, if it wants a post-Brexit trade deal

The European Union will demand that Britain gives a collection of ancient marble sculptures back to Greece as part of a post-Brexit trade deal.

Greece has long argued that the Parthenon Marbles — also called the Elgin Marbles — were unlawfully removed from the Parthenon temple in Athens in the early 19th century by the British diplomat Lord Elgin.

The marbles — considered among the great works of ancient civilization — are displayed at the British Museum in London in a wing custom-built to accommodate them.

The museum told the newspaper The Times of London that the classical Greek structures were taken from the Parthenon temple lawfully and were “accessible to the 6 million global visitors the museum receives each year.”

The Times, however, reported that the EU’s draft negotiating guidelines for a trade deal with the UK included a commitment to the “return or restitution of unlawfully removed cultural objects to their country of origin.”

Brussels included this clause at Greece’s request.
