QUOTE (newres @ Jun 12 2019, 05:55 AM) First Farage says the people of Peterborough didn’t know what they were voting for and now they are claiming their votes were burnt. Couldn’t make it up. Why not? You make everything else up?

QUOTE (Strafin @ Jul 24 2019, 01:34 PM) Good call. did you have nave any money on? Brexit 9/2 yes Trump 16/1 yes (b4 he became the republican candidate) Johnson has always been short (trading around evs) to be the next Premier. And the next PM will be..... Jo Swinson (16s at moment) after the next election. Lib Dems majority MPs of a coalition with Labour and Scots Nats. May even be a minority government. I work in the industry... so can see trends from AI and BI Insights.. I shall be placing a small interest on her.

QUOTE (SirWilliam @ Jul 24 2019, 06:56 PM) Everyone getting paranoid over BJ being the worst PM since Lord North, the BBC single handedly trying to remove the democratically elected president of the good old US of A in a blatant show of reporting bias even by their standards, and yet dear old Xi Jinping can rattle his mighty sabre at a few concerned Hong Kong students and the UK's silent response is deafening. Even the straits of hormuz tips it's troubled hat to the global ills but the UK media are obviously prejudiced against tousled hair individuals so if you want to get on get a haircut or be a "leftie". Nowt wrong with employing a few triads to do your dirty work for you and ensure the police are ahem "late" turning up to a crime scene io an island...😂 Or indeed a bit of piracy. Bit like us doing the same in the Channel.

Everyone says the BBC is biased, makes me laugh but I guess that proves to a degree that it isn't! I've seen loads about Hong Kong, don't know where you're looking but it seems to be fairly well reported to me.

Love him or hate him
Donald Trump said "we have created seven million jobs" and that the unemployment rate was the lowest in half a century. Fact, Since Mr Trump took office in January 2017, almost 6.7 million jobs have been added. Jobs have been added every month dating back to October 2010, when President Obama was in office.
The unemployment rate for December was 3.5%. This is the lowest level in 50 years - it last dropped to 3.5% in December 1969.
Also, Donald said unemployment rates among African Americans had reached record lows. Fact, The African-American unemployment rate hit 5.5% in September 2019, the lowest rate recorded since the US Labor Department started collecting these statistics, in 1972.
So, not too shabby then.

I did hear somewhere that the job creation rate under Trump is slower than under Obama’s last years. Bearing in mind that 10 years on the Tories still blame Labour for any problems I find it amusing that Trump was so quick to claim credit for what was most likely Obsma’s legacy. I freely admit I’m not an economics expert but I know enough to not over simplify things.

Shame the Democrats don't have anyone that resembles presidential at the moment...Trump is a cert for a 2nd term...

Very doubtful that anyone would call Trump "nice" and is probably on borrowed time if the Democrats could find a half decent contender but, like our Labour party, they couldn't organise themselves to run a bring your own orgy yet alone seek a vote of confidence from the populace. So looks like the Don and Boris show will keep us amused for the next few years.

I get the feeling that toxic Nancy the surgeons best friend has gone a tad too far this time, Don's approval ratings are up, whilst the Democrats can't apparently do simple sums. Four more years for tango Don!

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Feb 14 2020, 03:10 PM) Couldn't make it up could you. In for four more years of the moderate left rioting and screaming "not my president"! Be plenty of "woke" tears on election night followed by screams of illegality and Russia, Facebook etc...All rather boring and predictable. I see BJ is going to go on a massive capital spending splurge. This is interesting because if Labour ever do win again, they could well walk into the treasury to find a note saying there is no money left...😂😂😂😂
