Would Badenoch fit in to Stephen Miller’s racist philosophy?

Quite why would anyone want the chaos and extremism in the UK that we see in the US ? Civil war lasts for decades, as we have seen in NI. There is no good outcome from electing Farage. His greed is obvious as is his racism. He is in thrall to far right extremism and paid well for his input.

Personally, I would give Burnham Lisa Nandy’s job, should he get elected to Parliament.

There is a point when you are trying to contact the water company when you have lost the will to live. I have downloaded the app to the I pad twice and have now abandoned this for the phone. Am clicking on the white box and it won’t let me enter anything. FFS.

I have not quite grasped the thoughts of the Farage supporters yet because it’s fluid - on the one hand they are desperate for Farage to ‘stop the boats’ ( lying through his teeth by the way) and on the other they have to despise his best mate Trump.

Not sure where UK sees its future. Half the Country seems to back the/ Farage/ Trump/ Putin axis and the other half seems to back a return to the EU. You can’t compromise on those two positions.

So what will Trump do this month ? Well - there’s bombing Iran, then there’s taking over Mexico, then there’s taking over Cuba, then there’s shitting on Ukraine, then there’s shitting on the EU, then there’s shitting on the UK, then there’s moving ICE into more blue states then ….ad nauseoum.

I might have to get some IT lessons as I can’t figure out how to contact my water Company on WhatsApp on the I pad. I have downloaded the app twice - what the fuck !

It’s actually objectively interesting to watch Trump. He is such an extreme example of all those people who have crossed your path in life who you despised. Not necessarily with the power to take them to task.

What is the point of a far right policy, where nobody can afford to buy the goods and services that a few rich Oligarchs are selling. By definition - it’s short term greed.

I keep asking this question but which is most important - military might or economic might ?

Anyway - I once looked at base metal investment, specifically for copper and passed. From what I remember it was considered a fairly manipulated market where trades were made in a sort of by gone circle.

I don’t think the British people want Trump puppets. I actually think that the UK right win would eclipse any opposition if they suggested a return to the EU.

To return to the hypothesis - is Trump more inclined to self enrichment as opposed to Armageddon ? I think it’s a bit of both but overall seems self enrichment beats out the other.

Am hypothesising but does Trump’s greed override his control of the US military might ?

Anyway - forget politics - the planter faciitis is getting better. In a morning I can now get to bathroom with one foot on tip toe - that’s a big improvement. Rest of day I can walk a bit but it no longer stops me from doing stuff in the house. Now got to go outdoors. Typically it’s going to snow !

How does military might match up to economic might ? Just asking for Trump.

Every day Trump tries to increase his wealth $1.4 billion so far. Everyday Farage tries to increase his wealth - just a few million so far but he won’t stop until he has that billion because that’s all he cares about.

Farage has not spelled out his agenda for detaining and deporting people. It’s time he did.
