Hi Yatton. Apologies for not following up but I hope you and all your family are well following covid without any lingering problems. Whilst I agree to an extent what your saying about the UK election at least the population have the ability to vote for who they want to, whether that be right, left,centre or the Monster Raving Loony Party and all the others. Whereby in France it's two parties in the second round and that's it! All good thanks mate , recovered completely but did suffer with some bad headaches and a bit of fatigue. Do any other countries operate the same system that France does ? Mélenchon almost made it through the first round , so it is possible. The US, although they are worse because they start with a choice of two and narrow it down to a choice of two.

However it seems they are conscious of influencing the elections and are concerned about it. Of course non disclosure is just as influential. Case of damned if you do and damned if you don't.

We’ll tough. The police shouldn’t be bothered or involved in how the truth and law effects elections. They’re literally hiding and suppressing the truth to try help the Tories. Honestly it is shameful what this government has done to this country. We are an embarrassment

We are an embarrassment Not saying I agree with it, just that it's more likely an attempt to remain impartial from the election process rather than a deliberate cover up. The Conservatives are likely to lose, possibly quite heavily in places, so this is unlikely to influence much more than it already has. The police don't even have to name people, just that fines have been issued. I agree they should ignore the local elections and carry on as normal.

It's always been an embarrassment, just that people are too wrapped up in their own lives to see it.

Honestly it is shameful what this government has done to this country. We are an embarrassment The way I see it is the media, the opposition who contribute to making the UK an embarrassment (as well as the government). Do you seriously believe that the UK government are the only ones who "partied". There have been many photos on social media here of Macron having drinks, cheese etc with his work Colleagues during lockdown. There has been one of him and his colleagues around a table having drinks and food whilst at the same time primary school children are having their packed lunch 10 feet minimum from the nearest child. I'm not supportive of the "parties" but every day the news is partygate whilst here nothing is said in the media about Macron. We were at a friends 60th at the weekend and they said is there seriously nothing more important going on in the UK and the world than partygate. Let the population get rid if they want via the general election. Boris is not the first PM to lie to government and won't be the last. Doesn't make it right I agree but can we not move on and wait till the general election for people to make their minds up.

😇 whilst you’re here France , do you watch all the Gas games on iFollow? Just out of curiosity. In all honesty no. And until recently when I started receiving my occupational pension I couldn't afford it ! ( God I should be left wing). Just passed 46 years supporting Rovers. My first match was 17th April 1976 v Southampton. Frankie Prince scored both goals in a 2-0 win. I really miss my football. Was a season ticket holder from 1983 until 2007 when we moved to France. Moved to Surrey in 79 so from 83 every game was an away game. Lots of fantastic memories. Sorry to ramble on.

Is it just a fiver a game if you live abroad or is that what it works out for a iFollow season ticket ? You’ll have to come over if we get to Wembley !
