Putin vs Trump

What's the worst that could happen?

Verging slightly into conspiracy theory territory here, but apparently Trump's election was down to Putin.

Good. He may have saved us all. Clinton wanted a no fly zone over Syria. Could have sparked WW3. If the Russkies are stupid enough to get involved in wars in that area of the world let them. History teaches us it does not end well.

It's not often I agree with you, but I do here 100%. I'd go so far as to say that if it weren't for these wars we'd still be in the EU.

We all have an opinion. Its the fear of speaking your opinion that has got us to President Trump. We need a reset button. The fear of your environment changing is not racist. Its normal to many. Millenials moan thay we will all die and what have we left them with? In part I agree but as they get older (and work for 20 years or so have a mortgage kids responsibilities to those they love) then some of them will change opinion. At present people dare not speak how they feel apart from in a polling booth. That is wrong. And believe it or not newres I respect you.

Trump Brexit and Leicester. A fiver treble this time last year would have paid 12.5 million. Strange times indeed...

I don't think that is true. Not speaking one's mind is the reason for poor poll predictions rather than who votes for what. Also, people vote (or don't) for a number of reasons and some of those are not because of support for the candidate.

Tosh. Say you think that immigration is too high and you are branded by the liberal press and luvvy celebrities..
I think it is about numbers not race or ethnicity. People stay quiet and vote when they get the chance.

It's not racist to complain about immigration but it is almost certainly xenophobic just to say there are too many foreigners coming into our country.

If it's backed up with a valid reason then it's not xenophobic, but I rarely see anyone come up with a good reason why we shouldn't allow more immigrants into the UK.

The classic one is, "they're a drain on our infrastructure" but as on average immigrants pay more tax than the indigenous population they're actually a net contributor to the nation's finances.
