I think Orwell was trying to warn us of greater dangers to our freedom than the Old Bill trying to stop a few halfwits and crackheads banging a drum in the middle of Manchester and trying to put Barclay's windows in.

I thought the job of an elected Member of Parliament was to look after the people of the constituency who voted you in, not have a dozen trips paid for by the Sun Bed King and his cronies to fly you into Miami. :mad:

So you claim it's OK for the head of a UK political party to be so obviously in the back pocket of the Sun Bed King? Dangerous times mon ami.

More to the point, mein freund, is just whose back pocket does the Sun Bed King occupy? Dangerous times indeed and the UK is just a minnow in the whole situation.

I have relatives in New York and Ottawa who are asking exactly the same question BT and I think the citizens of the USA & Canada have more to worry about on their plates at the moment than we do. Some people will be making enough sums from the stock market crash Trump has engineered and they will be getting rich while others go to the wall. Liberation Day indeed!??

For the leader of a British political party, and quite possibly the next PM, to have an amicable relationship with the President of the most powerful economic and military nation on the planet, is a very good thing indeed.

I would have thought that was just stating the bleedin obvious, but not it seems for Leftys. Trump Derangement Syndrome, it's one hell of a powerful tool. I believe Big Pharma are trialling vaccines but without much success.

Of course anyone is free to short stocks if they want, but seeing as in most stock markets around 95% of the wealth is owned by the richest 10% of the population, I fail to see how any market sell-off or crash benefits the richest. Elon Musk, for instance, Trump's big buddy, is not a happy bunny at all, it's costing him billions apparently.
