The number of times my Belgian wife heard that during Brexshit, closely followed by "go back to where you came from".
"oh but they don't mean you" - sure, yeah, because I have a job and I'm physically fit, yeah? what if I were to become one of those immigrants who has to be on the dole? what if I end up disabled for whatever reason? what if I end up having a ton of kids with another immigrant? what if? what if?

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social a candidate for tree of the day from Saint-Trojan, Ile d'Oléron ? The trunk is enormous and you'd want to take a packed lunch before circumnavigating it.

I've had this conversation in my head so many times and not necessarily with Americans.
Mine was English person asked by Americans whether it’s true we often don’t understand what they are saying because of different words such as petrol/gas or lift/elevator.
English person replied: no we do understand what you’re saying. We just often can’t figure out why you’re bothering to say it.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social is there any chance of giving the news team a nudge to use Yaxley-Lennon's real name rather than his stage name? Maybe both for those who don't know it is a stage name.

Just been to an event in the German embassy in Paris, where they played the anthems of Germany, France and the EU. I found myself feeling really quite melancholy about what we've lost.

With apologies for linking to the other place, this is well worth a read and please make sure you get yourself checked if you have a prostate. A late diagnosis is not a nice place to be in. x.com/ethansgrumps...
