Vampires

Is it just the small sample of people we've got here that have a problem with the British or is it Europeans in general

May I remind you that over 6m people in the UK descend from Ireland; it was a dirt poor country and they found a better life here. In the past few decades Ireland has exploded and is doing better than us in pretty much every per capita metric there is now, so there's no need for the false victimhood.

Ireland was pretty much wiped out financially during the 2008 crisis. Blown up real estate had plummeted etc.

Explosions / bubbles like that always come to an abrupt end.

Asset prices are one thing, real GDP per capita is another. Ireland is doing just fine.

That I can agree with, the EU is terribly bureaucratic and needs to change the way it makes decisions in order to allow a greater participation of the people. Indeed, pushing towards a federation without consulting the people would be a recipe for disaster, although it's probably impossible in most countries anyway due to the individual constitutional changes that would be required by member states in order to create such a structure.

1,438 new coronavirus deaths in France today, way higher than previous days and the highest daily amount in Europe. Is that due to some reporting lag?

My guess would be delayed reporting over the Easter holidays, and today, those cases were finally registered.

Just under a month ago, local elections were held. I suppose that led to a greater spread, and it's beginning to show in the death toll.

Schools in Spain will open in late June and July for "voluntary intensive classes" to try to reinforce what has been taught and prepare students for the following year.

It will be considered the third trimester, and everyone will pass it. In years where there are final exams, there will be a test at the end that will only serve to raise that trimester's score, for each subject. Students who end up with a final failed score (once all 3 trimesters are factored), will have to an extraordinary test in september, and pass it, in order to advance to the following year.

This applies to all school levels in elementary and secondary education, except for senior year, who will have to pass the third trimester as usual and, in the case the student wants to study in univeristy, pass the government's official pre-universitary test (it's called Selectividad, which works similarly to Abitur, A-levels, etc).

This amount exist because they added the non-hospital deaths which are added EVERY few days.
I would also remind that many countries are not adding these people, France is playing the transparency card.

You are both wrong.

/e these typos fuck
