Oh Rly? Err, too far Nige', too far. rolleyes.gif


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! laugh.gif

I thought Downing Street was being really diplomatic in its response, rather than saying what everyone was thinking: "You're joking, right?".

Funny how he's changed his tune about a US President interfering in UK affairs.

Build the wall!!!! laugh.gif
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.

I see that the battle in France next year will be between the centre right and the far right, if marine wins she may well press for Frexit. Could be interesting to follow that one. cool.gif

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.

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.

Next on his list is sorting out "voter fraud" in the election, because he didn't like that he lost the popular vote.

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.
