BT, I know that you are getting commission for trying to get money for the publications, however, you really do need to chill and not worry about things over which you have no control.
None of us have control over anything which those running the country want to do, they do what they want to do, regardless of we plebs. Exactly the same in the USA, Argentina, Russia and everywhere else in the World.

Your concern for all these places is noted, however, your energy should be channeled into living YOUR life and not wasted on self-centred people running countries. Que sera sera.

Trump's anti-democracy policies, his disregard for basic human rights and freedoms and his allowing of the Home Boys release from jail, and the re-emergence of the Ku Klux Klan are scarily reminiscent of Nazi Germany's Brownshirts.

Yesterday 100's of people had the knock on the door and are now back in South America without trial or right of appeal.

I find it very much my concern mein freund.

Democracy is dead in the US. Trump just killed it.

Trump Derangement Syndrome. No known cure.

Trump Derangement Syndrome. No known cure.

Even Putin cannot match 200 "Executive Orders" issued in one day mon ami. Read about it, because it's splashed all over US media, he even instigated the orders using A1 technology. Forget using the US Court system, just let a computer dictate US policy.

He is President of the USA and was voted in democraticallyto do what he considers to be right for his country.
You are concerned that he allowed his Home Boys release from jail, people who were involved in the Washington demonstrations.
Are you not concerned that our own Government released murderers from overcrowded prisons in order that they could accommodate rioters and protesters who were involved in things after the Southport atrocities? These rioters, we are being told, were influenced by social media which was saying things about the alleged killer. It now appears that our own PM knew things about this killer within hours of the incident, however, he said and did nothing and this resulted in unlawful rioting.
Trump is dealing with illegal immigration meanwhile we have had more people arriving on boats in recent weeks that we have ever seen previously and all are aided and abetted by a government who insist that these people are picked up and treated humanely, which is good to see, however, we are paying the French unknown amounts of money in order for them to stem the flow ---that is a real success, n'est ce pas?

You are very much a political animal of your own admission, however, rather than channel your energy in the way of Trump, Palestine, anti Israel etc., surely it would be better aimed at things much nearer home. That would give me the relaxed frame of mind that someone who is so aware of the World's woes is doing something about things in this country which may or may not help the people of this country.

I really need to know that your energies are channelled in the right direction so that I can carry on as normal in my local environment where our local MP continues to live in a posh area of Northumberland in a house allegedly purchased with money obtained from a union whose members have not received full pensions.

Yet another plea for funding --you really are an expert but they will never get anything from me. I'll bet that they don't even have a cryptic crossword.
