QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Nov 22 2016, 05:06 PM) "Nigel Farage has accused Downing Street ofputting its dislike of him ahead of the national interest after No 10 dismissed Donald Trump's comment that he could be"great" ambassador." Oh Rly? Err, too far Nige', too far. I suspect it's a great response to the pretty patronising comments made by our very own, as reported in the Sunday Times a week or so back on the lines that our clever British diplomats would be able to control and steer the new President.....oh yeah!

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Nov 22 2016, 10:15 PM) Build the wall!!!! Farage. The politician that has changed the face of Europe and has lit the blue touch paper that ends globalism. He will be historically a very important person. In a good way? Who knows? Only time will tell. If you compare to the 1930s... Post depression the same thing happened and that did not end well... Historically, he'll be lucky even to be a footnote. Who remembers past big bears like George Lansbury, Rab Butler, A.J Cook etc? Our Nigel is being used and doubtless he knows it. Our diplomatic people fell into the same trap as Maynard Keynes team did trying to negotiate a loan saying 'they may well have the money, but we have the brains'. Our Amercian friends are seeing us being patronising yet again.

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Nov 28 2016, 01:45 AM) I see that the battle in France next year will be between the centre right and the far right, ... More like far right v extreme right. But it's not necessarily so - if the socialists ditch Hollande and find a good relacement they might just get their man through to the final round, helped by the extreme views of two similar right wing candidates. In normal circumstances they would be delighted in the split in the right vote. That said the main difference between Le Pen and Fillon seems to be the EU - so a run-off between them could be seen as a Frexit referendum.

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Jan 26 2017, 08:07 PM) I'm a bit worried. Trump is doing all he said he would do in the campaign. When did politicians start doing that? Oh wait... He is not a politician. Perhaps thats the future. Kind of, guess how he's planning to pay for the wall, with a 20% tax on goods from Mexico and a "broader tax reform package". Guess who paying for the wall? Americans.

It's better than that, if he can push through voter reform voters will need to produce specific id before voting ie, driving licence or passport.and who is least likely to do that? Statistically black and Hispanic voters. Therefore giving a better chance at reelection time. He's not that stupid and he's planning ahead.
