Powers of observation?!!!! Your description fits plenty of well do to do intelligent parents in my experience. Talk about stereotyping.........

Has anyone heard whether there will be spectators next week at Portimao?

But that doesn't make sense. You say it is all about control, so why would a business as in Primark want to control people in a way that might put them out of business? To use your words.

Misled or not very bright? What’s it to be EI?

I can keep extrapolating! There are plenty to find: Dave bought his Spanish holiday home after voting to leave but told Mr Jenkins that he regretted his vote. He told the journalist the main factor in his change of heart was the loss of “freedom of movement in Europe, for the proper Europeans”. When he was asked if he wanted to keep his own freedom of movement rights intact he replied. “Yes. I know it might be selfish but I think on reflection now we’d probably vote, if we had a referendum, the other way now.” Really, 'the loss of freedom of movement in Europe'? Either he was misled by the Leave campaign or Dave is a couple of sausages short of an English breakfast!! Which one is it EI?

I answered it perfectly, if an ex Brexit Party MEP brexiteer like Lance Forman thinks it is the EU who took away the right to "free movement and free trade" then he is pretty thick!

But there is getting it done and getting it done properly!!

I don’t need to check anything. The quote was a sarcastic remark on the Twitter feed. It is Lance Forman’s idiotic comment “I don’t think we can measure the impact of 40 years of being in the EU with three months of being out,” he said. “I have not taken away your rights. The EU have. I believe in free movement and free trade.” that needs examining!!!!

Shall we start with this one: https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/ex-brexit-party-mep-mocked-for-moaning-that-eu-restricted-free-movement-263053/ "I think the EU are crazy to do the exact thing I campaigned for, voted for, convinced others to vote for and told people wouldn't be a problem or affect them"!!!!!

Nor do I. I agree with a lot of what he says but to say I was holding up Portugal as a lockdown success is a total misrepresentation.

Why do you always twist what everyone says, particularly when the word 'lockdown' is mentioned? You seem to be paranoid that a lockdown might have had an influence on the pandemic! Where have I held up Portugal as a lockdown success. I was merely interested in how the country has managed to relax the restrictions as I have a property there. In February it was reported that Portugal had the highest case rate of 16,829 per million and 340 deaths per million and Spain at the same time had 10,500 case rates and 107 deaths per milliion. I find those facts quite startling for 2 countries on the same Iberian Peninsula. You may have gone some way to explaining the reasons why above but doesn't that just demonstrate the difficulties for any government to try to contain the virus?

It still doesn't explain the disparity between Portugal and Spain.

But Spain has identical weather and their ‘cases’ got no where near as high and Portugal’s had dropped at a faster rate so there must be something else at play?

So what would you say brought the ‘cases’ down then?

My dad was briefly on the same squadron as Geoffrey Wellum and I have some photos of the 2 of them together as they were a similar age!
