What a weird thing to say.

you’ve never helped me through any dark time. We were friendly for a short period earlier this year, and I tried to say no more in the friendliest of terms. No dakr time for me, anyway.

The only dark time I had on jc was 2 years ago, when my dad was dying. You weren’t friendly then. The only two who helped were…[Read more]

tick tock

or will it soon be tock tick.

This clock is in danger of going haywire.

Justine Greening, the former Education Secretary, has called for a second referendum on the EU. May’s plan, she says, is an unworkable hybrid. the three questions in the referendum will be 1) do you accept may’s plan; 2) do you want  to leave the EU with no deal;…[Read more]

Good question, Paigey.

The Irish FM has pointed out that we will be only 60 million people, unimportant compared to the 600 million in the EU. Instead of being the fastest growing and most dynamic economy in the G7, we are now the slowest and most threatened.

Wrong, ‘Morgan’.

Unrestricted trade doesn’t exist in a world of protection and…[Read more]

So it’s farewell to Donald Trump as he flies off to Finland to face the bsame level of protests there as he did here.

As far as I and a large number of Brits are concerned, he can bugger off and not bother to come back.

That’s good, Linda.

I thought you had after an earlier post.

Good. I keep friendship and politics separate. As I have said, I have friends both online and for real who disagree with me profoundly, including about brexit.

I take my politics seriously, and I know you do too.

So all is clear on this?

Agreed about Clinton.

So what is Trump going to do about bringing coal mining back to West Virginia?

The man lies, and then claims that you’re using fake news when you point out his lies. Then he has moved on to other lies when you point the original ones out.

well, Linda, I’m glad you’ve found acceptance in jc. I remember when you were alone and miserable for a long time in the middle of a lot of sarcasm and disbelief. I wouldn’t wish that on anybody, and I’m only glad that I was one of those who helped you in that dark time. Go well.

But with regard to this issue..just can’t agree.

Apart from…[Read more]

You really don’t read carefully, do you? Like Gerry the Lefty (‘Corbyn for Prime Minister’)*, you throw out stuff which says the opposite of what you claim it says.

In this case, the alt.Right propaganda tries to cover it up, but read carefully.

The photo to the right shows families in 2018 gathered together in an unpleasant US detention…[Read more]

I assume that is the same note made by Gerry (‘Corbyn for Prime Minster’) earlier in this thread.

Have a look at that post more carefully. Read it. Chase up the links.

I am no fan of Obama – I was warning friends about him from the moment he was running for president back in 2008.

But that is alt.Right propaganda to draw attention away from…[Read more]

Well, if you#r talking about courtesy and respect, then Donald Trump is not the name that comes to many people’s minds.

college women don’t elect a president, linda. There’s not enough of them.

I think the vote totals were (fromGoogle)

Clinton 65,853,514

Trump 62, 984,828

Clinton 48.2%

Trump 46.1%

However you look at it, Trump was a choice of the minority of Americans, 3 million less than Clinton. He was constitutionally elected, not democratically…[Read more]

Well, that’s the interesting thing.

Trump is alt.Right. He’s not really a Republican, and the Republicans don’t like what he’s doing(apart from the tax cuts to the rich). They’re mobilising in Congress wioth the democrats to try to stop his trade war schemes. They#re limited in what they can do, as a lot of Presidential power has built up since…[Read more]

well, yes, I do say so.

The thing about Brits is, or was, that they had respect for someone willing to stand up and not give in to pressure.

mind you, when I left the secondary modern for the grammar school  at 14, I found the atmosphere very different. much more vicious. There were some explicit nazis in that grammar school *wonders if they’re…[Read more]

A protest in Edinburgh against this nasty man, the hero of the alt.Right Farage brigade, last year.

Ruth Davidson, marching with the Gay Pride people yesterday, made this her slogan – love Trumps hate.

Brits don’t like him, and I have never known such support for not allowing an Amrican President in the country. There’s been a…[Read more]

and just think, this was supposed to be about football.

If you see a demo of that size, and it was huge, only a malicious person or a fool would look at individuals and pretend that they are the whole demo.

It was described by Sky News as composing many, many different sorts of people. Jeremy Corbyn, who is strongly committed to the working class  and has a genuine concern for the poor and homeless,…[Read more]

Don’t shoot the messenger for the message.

Actually I just refused to take part in sports. When I was 12, I was pinned to the floor in the changing rooms by the tough lad in the school and he punched me in the face over and over until I said sorry.

He didn’t look too proud of himself afterwards, and was always a bit shamefaced in front of me…[Read more]

Drac,

I take you seriously.

I know that a lot of people who like Trump, many Americans, don’t like his uncouth, vulgar manner.

But they like his politics.

When you say that you have a negative opinion of Trump, my guess is that it’s his uncouth manner.

That’s because you’ve often supported breitbart, the main alt.Right voice.

So do you now…[Read more]

It seems that England have lost again to Belgium.

All right, I know nothing about the game, have spent my life avoiding the game, even being beaten up at school for refusing to handle the ball…

but I don’t think England were winners. They played very competently as a team, had an excellent goalie, but you need more than that.

maybe…[Read more]

The issues are linked, but I’m mainly talking about Trump here, not brexit.

There were punchups at the pro-Trump-Free Tommy Robinson demo, but nothing on the scale that was feared, I’m glad to say. They were expecting a lot of people at the pro-Trump, but not many turned up, certainly not enough to write home about.

The large demonstrations…[Read more]
