..but Linda. UK politics is boring. We have a stable government that believe it or not isn’t constituted by a single document and therefore allows us to be a bit more flexible in bringing in new laws. We have elections that the vast majority of the electorate seem to trust. While we have many parties in our political system, there are only 2, the conservative and the labour parties who have ruled the roost over the last few decades and the SNP, Plaid Cymru and the the Unionists do their thing in Scotland, Wales and Northern Island.  We don’t have the partisan fervour in this country that you seem to have in the USA that appears to drive everything you do.

Now, across the pond, you have a well thumbed single constitution that, may I say, was written hundreds of years ago and is in most part irrelevant for the 21st century, The problem is, you can’t change it. When we had a particular vile school shooting in 1996, gun ownership restrictions changed almost overnight such that we now have one of the lowest gun violence rates in the western world. Your second amendment (militia, guns, etc etc) is enshrined not only in your law but it is part of your culture. As I said in my ‘message to Puds’  Guns and gun violence IS your culture and the crazy thing is that you can’t change it.

FOREVER.

That’s why I get so much fascination from your politics Linda, watching the left and the right in a massive tug of war while your REAL enemies, Russia and China pour in the black roubles and yen to keep your internal war going.

If you don’t mind, i prefer my brand of freedom to yours.

As to your future, well, if the GOP continues to see the fat golfer from Mar a Largo as their leader, I rather think that the clever leftists are lining up all the civil and criminal cases against trump to have an effect that will kill the republican campaign for your midterms and follow through to 2024. Not only is your left at war with your right, but your republican party is tearing itself apart.

It is soooooo sooooooo entertaining to watch. I hope you don’t mind if I do.

COMPETENCY test ???

hahahahahahahaha

Linda it was a COGNITIVE test….for DEMENTIA….and now we know that trump can recognise a drawing of an elephant.

Linda don’t you think it would make for better telly if Biden and trump did a bike race?

10 laps around the White House should do it and if trump can’t ride a bike (no surprise there) then he could go in his golf cart. Biden would still thrash him.

…and no Linda, I didn’t hear about 18 american family members being killed in Afghanistan 2 weeks ago.

Would you like to educate me on that one with the appropriate news source?

Dear Puds,

I came across this interesting article:

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2021/10/responsible-gun-ownership-is-a-lie/619811/

One segment, near the end, really stood out for me;

America has a gun problem because so many Americans are deceived by so many illusions about what a gun will do for them, their family, their world. They imagine a gun as the guardian of their home and loved ones, rather than the standing invitation to harm, loss, and grief it so much more often proves to be.

 

P.S. After chatting with you about this subject I understand a bit more that your country will never rid itself of guns and it will always be faced with thousands and millions of people who experience gun violence. I guess that’s what you call culture.

Guess who my money is on…..

Don’t worry too much Linda. Only 3 more years before you can dust off your MAGA hat.

Let me see Linda,

Was it trump who made the deal with the taliban and excluded the Afghan government? Was it trump who invited the taliban to Camp David? Was it trump who wanted to get all your troops out BEFORE he left office and the generals stopped him?. That was trump’s plan and would have been a royal fu ck up the like of which the world has never seen before…..

The majority of the few Americans (100?) who are still in Afghanistan have chosen to stay there for any number of reasons such as dual-nationality or their vital NGO work. But hey, it only takes one American remaining to rile up the right wing media.

Extricating yourself from a war that you’ve lost, underpinned by a fuc ked up deal was always going to be a filthy business. In your world, trump is blameless and Biden is the bad boy…. NO MATTER WHAT!  Let’s face it Linda, your country’s politics is fuc ked just like many western democracies but would you prefer a Chinese or Russian model? Oh, Sorry…..you DID have that for 4 years. You had trump the narcissistic fascist supported by Murdoch the money. They call that a Commisariat, not a Constitution. Oh the irony….
