//A diplomatic row between France and Italy has deepened, with France complaining of "unfounded attacks and outlandish claims" by Italian leaders.

France recalled its ambassador to Italy for talks on Thursday, saying the situation was "unprecedented" since the end of World War Two.

It comes after Italian Deputy PM Luigi Di Maio met French "yellow-vest" protesters near Paris on Tuesday.

France warned him not to interfere in the country's politics.

Relations between the two countries - both founding members of the EU - have been tense since Italy's populist Five Star Movement and right-wing League party formed a coalition government in June 2018.

The two governments have clashed over a range of issues, including immigration.//

Two old queens squaring up. Nothing to see here.
"France warned him not to interfere in the country's politics."

And promised go keep their nose out of other nation's attempts to curb illegal immigration ?

Bit rich coming from that Arschloch Macron. Happy to critisize this country's politics. Merde
The actual quote by the French Foreign Ministry (from the art):

"[These actions] violate the respect that is owed to democratic choices made by a nation which is a friend and an ally."

[i]Très ironique[i]
All these stories for some reason make me think of an old song:
"The party's over
It's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
It's time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up the piper must be paid.":)
makes me think of hard cheese..sacré bleu
Eu is crumbling methinks....once we leave..it will be rats !
It will collapse quickly minty. I voted against joining in the referendum in 1973, I could see what was coming. I was surprised so many others couldn't!
The EU is no longer about trade and relations...tis a bank for irresponsible nations..... oot oot oot !
It’s a sham show of what happens when a country does there own th8ng and doesn’t want to be pushed around.

Italy will tow the line when they’ve had time to see the error of their ways. They’ll apologise, change thier budget to suit the French and German and all will be right with the EU.
I did wonder what sort of audience this Q would attract...just the tempestuous right wingers it seems.
You’ll have to explain yourself Talbot.

Actually having read a lot of supposed ‘left and right’ views it seems that both sides (but predominantly the left) think anyone who doesn’t agree with them is the polar opposite of themselves. There is plenty of space between the two ends and I would hazard a pretty safe bet that the majority of people are towards the centre but are simply lablesnonto an end simpky by reason of disagreement.
Talbot, the AB "liberal elite" never go on this sort of question. Too difficult!

As for France/Italy I dont think this will ease over that quickly, not unless Macron is ousted.
I thought that recalling Ambassadors was the sort of thing that Countries did before declaring open war? France has been harbouring the violent left wing Italian thugs, who committed murder and mayhem, for years, but says keep out of our Country's "politics". Mini Mac also warns the Italians to desist from making "unfounded attacks and outlandish claims"?????.....Haha Bless.

“Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.”

Two lots of Johnny Foreigner having a row. Nowt to do with us :-)

“Trouble in paradise” ?
Three little words that say so much I fancy
Italy and France looking remarkably United, ich
Strange way of showing it then
Well, WBM, many others were less able to spot the propaganda last time. Claims of federal intent were considered scaremongering. It was a trade block that merely wished to standardise across Europe that which was to different standards in different countries. We'd already been dragged in without consultation, made little sense not to see how it went. (As for standardisation, I see we all still have different electrical plugs as no one else took up our superior design.)
Mini Mac is engaged in a desperate gamble to find support with the French voter. Particularly the indigenous French people. He will try any tack to try and garner "solidarity" amongst the factions that are rapidly developing, in this case, an open attack on a neighbouring Nation's right to conduct its own internal affairs. Did you know that in a recent Ifop poll that 40% of the French voted in favour of their very own Frexit? Or that the same poll revealed that in a head to head 44% say that they will back Le Pen compared to the 34% who did in 2017? Things are changing rapidly across the whole rotten EUSSR zone. Perhaps the protracted and agonisingly exhausting Brexit gambit is indeed taking its toll on the, by default, indolent Eurocrats and they have no energy left to shore up the political palisades that they have constructed over the years. Good we have them "otherwise engaged" it would seem :))

And at one time we had the choice of cheap 40, 60, 100, or 150 watt Electric light bulbs.

Look at the choice we have now it's a very expensive mine field.
