OT. The futures Bright, the Futures Brexit!!!

Lol! No, but I suspect he may be an illegal immigrant.

Stop the sleighs

Much to GP and AF’s probable chagrin I am going to unapologetically say that I totally agree with the above post and the last sentence in particular.
Couldn’t care less if it earns yet another childish ‘rat-a-tat-tat’ rebuke from the usual suspect/s, it is, imo, spot on and a further irony is that the story we celebrate/commemorate at this time of year is actually a story about a family of refugees/asylum seekers.

I completely agree with the above

Strange how you side with such a one-sided sentence, regretably Swales' words and your agreement are a significant part of the emerging and possibly existential problem.

How so?

Come to use our National Elf Service as the one where he comes from isn't free?

Then prepare yourself, or at least tell your offspring to

You are of course referring to the increasing interference by the right wing Christian Nationalists in the US, who are actively supporting and encouraging far right groups in Europe. This threat is now amplified by the recent "strategy" document published by the Current US Government, which repeats far right tropes and falsehoods.

Worrying times indeed when one of the most powerful nations in the world, is attempting to use its economic power to influence and in some cases appear to be trying to force changes in other democratic countries, using lies, falsehoods and conspiracy theories that have been debunked many times.

Worrying that Trump shows no sign of recognising the rule of law, only the rule of power and strength and what's economically advantageous to himself and his lackeys.

And to think that some thought the danger to our society and political system was from Muslims!!

[swaledale]

How so?

That's a question AF will find difficult to answer RA, he tires to be clever, fails, ties himself up in knots and contradictions and then generally goes silent or deflects.

[swaledale]

Also interesting that your hypocricy extends to supporting the words of a spokesman of a belief system you have repeatedly stated you don't believe in

Its spelt hypocrisy by the way!

There is a big difference between agreeing with or recognising the value of certain ideas, philosophies or words spoken by some body and buying into the elaborate and many times changed and modified BS which organised religions have in multiple different versions indoctrinated people with over the years.

You seem to have missed the point that its what was said, not who said it, that's important. Which is ironic given you are nearly always accusing myself and RA of having a narrow view based on dogma and yet when he demonstrates he hasn't, you call him a hypocrite!

Heard an intersting thought yesterday. Trump is disengaging from Europe and likely to leave NATO, leaving us to our own devices. Thereby triggering a change in "how the world is run". Rather than by the rule of Law and dome decency, the rich and powerful will take over. He wants to be the "Mob Boss" running the Americas, taking advantage of Venezuelan oil etc, the gas and oil recently found in Dutch prtotectorate Suriname etc. China can rule the roost over SE Asia incl. Taiwan and, it seems, Japan as well. Russia will take control of its former bloc and also get no interference from Trump if it invades the EU which he thinks is bankrupt and falling apart.

Not a concept that appeals to me.

Always amusing to see someone correcting someone else when they themselves make frequent spelling and grammatical errors.

In the "corrective" post, its should be it's.

Ammy has corrected you many a time and oft on there, their and they're amongst other faux pas.
