Correct skier1!

ATISHA, be careful what you wish for...!

Last thing we need is a invasion of microlight aircraft and propelled gliders with immigrants crash landing all around the country, or indeed on our roads and motorways. Mind you I am sure there are some on this forum that would drive straight towards them, if this saw one inbound.

Wind turbines play puck with migrating birds.

If you want some fresh poultry, just stand under your nearest wind turbine for a few minutes.

Stein,I spotted your remark about bloomer, and I filtered him a few weeks back, a the guy is clueless!

Bloomer, do you know the lead time for a grid transformation, for a solar farm? Sorry I won't see your reply, so the question is entirely rhetorical.

'Child', Spain has a major issue with migrants also, didn't you know?

What happens to the Russian bases in Syria, the invasion by Israel into Syria and how the HTS react to these two specific issues.

History being made in front of our eyes folks.

"On 14 November 2024, the Spanish Congress of Deputies approved the abolition of “Golden Visas” in Spain. The proposal received 179 votes in favour and 169 against. The bill has now been sent to the Senate for ratification."

India a good option, when it comes to the food.

I could go 100% native, no issue, when it comes to food there.

Cazar, yes exactly, since the protests about foreigners causing unaffordable housing and rents going up, the Spanish government is ending the golden visas.

Cazar, you are right!

Some folks suggest it is easy to move to Spain, but they simply don't understand the rules, are in fact spouting utter nonsense!

For those lucky enough to have a parent (and maybe even a grandparent?) born in an EU country you can get an EU passport and then move to Spain/France/Greece/Cyprus/Italy. If not then you can still spend up to 6 months there, in three month stints.

Why sit on funds for a rainy day or your descendants, when you can improve your quality of life which you are still alive and have your health?

Just get yourself a little pad, like an apartment with a porter on the front door, so keeping the place secure and keeps an eye on the goings-on. Apartments are good as they are low maintenance and more secure than stand alone properties, that typically require more maintenance and upkeep. In Spain there is a huge problem with the 'okupas' squatter, who practically impossible to get rid of.

Having been back in the UK temporarily for few months, I find the general mood in this country quite depressing! On top of that you have the bloody awful weather in the winter, short days and everything here now costs an arm and a leg!

Primetime is right.

Why not just move to Spain, like I did.

It's a no brainer!

And if you stay in a Spanish hotel, and you are British, they want to know the ins and outs of a ducks ***.

Did he jump or was he pushed?

Quite TFE.

HTS will it impossible to control a county of that is size.

More of a strategic withdrawal maybe also, for the moment.

What will be interesting to see is if the Russians can hold onto their ports in Syria.

Onlyif, we are all on "borrowed time"!

Skier, they will try to get the apparatus of the state (army, civil service, police etc.) To come onside, so there is a smooth frictionless transition of leadership to HTS.

"The UK government could remove Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham from the list of banned terrorist groups after the rebels led the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, a minister said."

Well called Taverham, the 'rebels' are former Al Qaeda / ISIS, but no longer called terrorists any longer, as that suit the US / western narrative now.

88, seems you've got to grow a pair!

88, I am still waiting for you to elaborate on why I would be suffering from envy?
