Greg, who is that?
No big surprise. There’s a saying about how the Europeans tell the difference between heaven and hell that rings particularly true just now:
Heaven is a place where the cops are British, the good is French, the lovers are Italians, and it’s all organized by the Germans.
Hell is a place where the cops are French, the food is British, the lovers are Germans, and it’s all organized by the Italians.
The Italians clearly prefer hell.

Those were the days. It’s all much simpler now:
Heaven is a place where the cops are European, the food is European, the lovers are European and its all organized by Europeans.
Hell is anything else.
Migrants clearly prefer heaven.
Non è troppo tardi per ripensarci!
And who will Soros use as his stooge to demand a re-count?
Wow, appears to be a true landslide……
Germans will love the catering Euro.
This result will make no difference to the EU, none.
The zealots will never allow Reformation.
The Euro is a different matter if Italy leaves the currency.
How long before 2nd vote?
Arrivederci @sshole… please resign within the hour and bring a swift closure to your disgraceful term.

Lol. But there are lots-O-bots to replace them.
Why doesn’t that little worm Hollande have an “X” drawn through him?
He and his 4% approval rating have bowed out of the French election process to save himself the embarrassment of suffering a humiliating landslide defeat.
The French do things differently, he has the X in his pocket and holds it up when anyone asks.
Good! Never understood why they picked a Florentine in the first place. A city loaded with tourist money and yet it looks like a run down, mismanaged, dilapidated shit.
