Ok, not football at all, but it matters, eventually.

Ohhh dear ohh dear

Gnashing of teeth...wailing and moaning, listening to the BBC this morning their whole network couldn't hide their dissapointment, nor Channel 4 for that matter.... the fat ginger mysoginist has swept back into power...by a massive majority - just shows that as usual the liberal left and the elite just cannot gauge how the average working citizen actually thinks and just what it is that gets them out to vote. In the USA as in Britain the "Woke" brigade are simply out of touch with their electorates true concerns and wishes.
Totty worrying about the "Young" in the USA where a right wing regime is now in power, plenty over here - me included - worrying about the "Old" in Britain due to our Left wing regime targeting/punishing them for voting Tory..
WTF predicting the end of the world if the Donald does get back in.. which he now has'.... be interesting to see his ongoing opinion on how Trump does in comparison to how the doddery old idiot preceding him got on over the last 4 years?

Quite interesting that the American people voted in huge numbers on the issues of Immigration and the Economy - the exact things the next UK election will be fought on.

Lets see if Trump can stop the wars in the middle east and Ukrain as he claims - if they are both over by 2028 then I think he will have achieved much more than the liberal left could EVER achieve.

just my twopenceworth.

Double that twopenceworth.

In 1944 young people stormed the beaches of Normandy to almost certain death.
Today young people need a safe place because some words might hurt their feelings.

Reasons to be cheerful - lots.

Mtot,

A old saying that might bear your research if you have the time and inclination. "A rising tide lifts all boats". In more specific economic terms "no country ever taxed itself into prosperity". It's worth reading up on. You might be surprised what you find doing the research.

Regarding tariffs, Trumps tariff plan is not intended to tarrif the US into prosperity. It's an opening salvo on negotiations. Currently the US can't sell many goods in China, Europe, Asia etc. Great deal for those countries but not such a good deal for us. Why would those countries negotiate for different terms when they are 100% in favor of them? The end result will end up being fairer terms for the US and not the end of global trade like the economically illerate preach.

Trump is not going to eliminate immigration. Utter nonsense spouted by clowns that don't understand what's happening. We had 21,000,000 illegal aliens dumped in our country the last 3 years. The world dumped their criminals, uneducated, insane and drug gangs into our country with no screening. Even a large country like the US can't take that without collapsing civil order.

Well, at least the citizens of Russia, N. Korea, China etc. have an excuse as they don't have democratic elections. The US does and elects a man who isn't to be a janitor. Stupid, ignorant and misguided.

Should read "who isn't fit to be".

Yes Billy, myself & other younger members of French society attend the vast remembrance ceremonies every year here & help lay memorials on behalf of the British Legion, mate, as well as tend the many, many war graves too.
In fact we had this made overlooking our beach for this years service - Lest we Forget !

Not all youth fit your terminology or indeed your aired sentiment of them.

Just saying

My uncle died on normandy beach. Some festering hell hole that meant nothing to his stupid, ignorant and misguided ass. I know it will stun you but he didn't wake up one day and decide he wanted to go to france. It's because your sorry ass military couldn't defend their country.

**** you.

[Francewhite]

Actually Spaldy I'm Scottish and my uncle was killed in Flanders during WW1 and my father was in the front lines in France and Germany in WW2. They were fighting for democracy and freedom and to save everybody's sorry "ass" not just France's. France is my place of residence now but I'm not a citizen.

I think we have a game on tonight 😆😆
