Granny Danger Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 14 hours ago, Alan Stubbs said: I can't speak for everyone's motivations (and I certainly don't mean you TBR) but I reckon a lot of the people planning to protest this would do well to remember that the UK has been run by absolute scumbags for years. I find it slightly irritating that so many folk here are invested in US politics (be it hating the likes of Trump/Bush or licking the hole off Obama) whilst our own leaders seem to the most teflon gang of chancers going. The point about the awkieness he causes May is so true though. If he's good for one thing, it's making Britain look like a bunch of desperate losers. I can’t think of any posters on here who give Trump a hard time whilst taking it easy on domestic politicians. I think the reason we are invested in US politics is twofold. Firstly it’s in recognition of the US’s strength and importance in world politics; and Trump is such a c**t and so unfit for high office. I have no issues with folk protesting Trump’s visit and I cannot see how such protests will distract from May’s obsequiousness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus im sure most folk who think May et al are c***s probably express this opinion at the ballot box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issues with folk protesting Trump’s visit and I cannot see how such protests will distract from May’s obsequiousness. I didn't word that very clearly. By 'here' I mean the UK, not P&B. It goes without saying that we're all a pretty opinionated bunch on all kinds of topics. Nothing wrong with caring about, or taking a position on, global politics. My only objection with the "our PM shouldn't lower herself to hosting Trump" argument is the idea that there is any high ground for her to come down from in the first place. Once we have even remotely decent political leadership ourself, I'll start caring about who they invite over to stay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes capital out of his heritage and his apparent importance to our economy in Scotland. Scotland needs to make clear that he can shove his heritage and his golf courses right up his arse. He's a c**t and he's not welcome. He's the embodiment of everything we should strive to avoid. Sooner he's dead or in jail the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieThomas Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Melania's jacket (I'm not linking, even the Daily Mail seems upset) leaves literally only two options: 1. This is, hands down, the least sentient administration of any country, ever 2. We've been sucked into a racist Truman Show and in 28 months they let us out and pour us a pint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieThomas Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 "I hate that you've committed crimes against humanity but not quite enough to divorce you". I'm not sure I can see that as legit, and will call up the lad Occam's razor instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all do things we really shouldn't for money. You work for a bookmaker I believe.

Loving this idea that Melania was about to get flung off welfare so married the first decrepit old dickhead she could. Tbf, she must've taken one look at his diet and thought "I'll be out of here in six months." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With her quarters in the West Wing locked to the Donald (by all accounts), maybe she thought it would be worth it. Don't think she's the full blown Stepford Wife though, I'm hoping for further subtle subversion from her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sureiknow Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 All Countries should have a border policy. They let in who they think are suitable. Keep out who they think aren't. Open borders? If someone rapped on your door and asked to walk into your home would you let them? Don't think so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who? If you want the borders to be treated like your front door, it's only fair that your local community should be able to control when you're allowed to leave your house. After due investigations.
