Love this summary Abi. How do you deal with post kegworth blues? Plan for the next one! I was sad to miss the last day. So many highlights for me. I’ll mention three 1) meeting Mr and Mrs Jules (they are just the best company); 2) meeting Natalie, Jonnie and Aletheia (Hope I’ve spelt her name right), it felt like meeting old friends; 3) finally meeting you and having conversations and banter and planning in the same room rather than on zoom!

Blessings

Sounds fabulous. This needs to be booked for next year. Would love to go and find a dog loving hotel nearby to make a long weekend of it!

Thank you Abi. I was listening you on a pod cast and when you came to “We'll Always Have Paris” the though just came in..

It used to be an axiom. I am not sure about this at the moment though.

Has anyone seen the latest production of “Equality and Freedoms loving” EU?

Have you ever heard about EU EES? This is the system EU is planning to introduce on the border checks. The date is TBD, Some rumours that it would be in coming summer. Right for holidays season! (They always coerce with the travel in mind, remember the need to get what for going on holidays in hot summer of 2021!?)

Now they need people to be fingerprinted and face pictured. (Digital ID anyone?)

Here is the key extract:

What happens if you refuse to have your fingerprints scanned or a photo of your face taken?

As a non-EU national travelling for a short stay, if you refuse to provide your biometric data, you will be denied entry into the territory of European countries using EES.

Read this a few times and try to feel this in full deep sense. Does is sound like freedoms and equality and human rights? Or it sounds more like tyranny, coercion and blackmail? If you Refuse to give up what is yours, you will be Denied your Freedoms – wonderful creation from the freedom loving EU, isn’t it?!

They are going to stole Paris from us unless we agree to be treated as criminals who is giving up their fingers for printing. At least criminal had some fun while were doing the crime with the chance to never been caught. Innocent non-EU citizens would be treated like criminals for free with a bit of blackmail!

I am not so sure yet what to do with this. I have written to so far useless MP and to EU via contact form. No feedback from MP. EU contact centre feedback is not useful. I asked them about Human rights and discrimination, and they tell me about how safe the data will be. I do not give a lot of f***k how safe it will be. It is not theirs and will never be regardless how good your IT system is with administrator with full administrators access siting don’t know where.

I would not be too concern if there was a direct links by air to where I need to be, but because of all fun with along the great river Dnepr it is not easy to get there without landing in east part of freedom loving prison called EU and them literally walk of get there by bus. (21 century in full colors!)

I am wondering if this topic is in any interest with the audience here? How can we overcome this hurdle? Any ideas?

Cheers All!.

Personally , I despise Galloway far more than Bridgen. Shearer far more than Murray

In fact, Galloway and Jeremy Hunt are two cheeks of the same arse if you check their calls for full Chinese style Draconian tactics to flatten the curs.....

I guage by their public reach....so the Pfizer Chiefs are as bad as Gaunty IMHO.

Welcome home kidda!
