Richard PearsonIt's up to each and every country how to handle it. Always suspicious, Mr Pearson, seems to be in the DNA to some.
Around two weeks ago I wrote this comment about the non compliance and non acceptance of British driving licenses by the Spanish authorities. “ Lastly, and nobody seems to have mentioned this, how is it possible that other EU nations are swapping the old type U.K. ones ( on proof of identity) with one of their own driving licenses, but the Spanish authorities refuse to do so. Could it be due to the fact that they don’t have a British “colony” on one of their borders ?”
Stephen PerrimanPretty much like every other member of the Tory government then.
Grant Shapps. Also known as Failing Grayling mk11. Everything he has done has been a complete disaster and he should be sacked as he is totally useless and an embarrassment.
