French elections

[Steve Walker]

Show me a political party whose policies are evidence driven and I might vote for them at every election.

Or you might not - basing policy on evidence only makes it more likely to achieve your objectives, it doesn't determine what your objectives are.

[Ken L]

Basing policy on evidence can be a dangerous game.

Think of the fun that you could have generating evidence based policies based on these statistics.

Would you want to vote for he party that did?

And that's before we even lift the covers on issues like gang rape of children and support for terrorists like those that carried out the Charlie Hebdo attacks - it's a slippery slope to internment camps.

Those unstated/unknown seem a load of bastards but i am confused how you can procecute an unknown person?

Perhaps an instant fine ?

I am also bemused with 'mixed' who can go back to cavemen and know they have only ever procreated with their own kind?

Chesters1,

 

A usually reliable source, National Geographic, says there is irrefutable evidence about 10 - 15 percent of us have Neanderthal DNA

Perhaps it was unknown whether the perpetrators should be classed as "people".

Probably more and once mr neanderthal had a fag break it looks like someone called dennis went slippy seconds!

Sanity prevails

We literally just signed the contract to buy our new home in France and I have to admit to a feeling of relief.

Which ? The thought of not being in spain or closer to britain?

I see that there have been some extremely nasty remarks from Farage and his cronies.

Seems that they are all for democracy when it is 52/48 in their favor, but not so much when it doesn't suit them.

Mixed feeling about the result. If Macron had to win, I would have liked it to be a much closer result, if only to put the wind up the likes of Junker and co. I've a feeling that the backlash seen since the result was announced, will last for some time.
