Retired with interest in politics
The BBC made a mistake by apologising to Trump . In his eyes that’s weakness and admission of guilt

Ukraine gave up their nukes. If they’d kept them , Russia wouldn’t have invaded

Only way for UK to survive is have closer ties with Europe, culturally,economically and militarily

They should ask why firms with zero experience, maybe even new firms less than 6 months could apply for contracts and furlough.
Why his wife firm closed owing £185k to HMRC

Andy Burnham stood against Jeremy Corbyn (also Yvette Cooper) in 2015. Only JC stood against Osbourne austerity and tax cuts. That’s why JC won.
Burnham has reinvented himself as Mayor.

Problem not the repayment, it’s the high interest rates of RPI+3%. This makes repaying the loan almost impossible and leaving paying of the capital to the tax payer. Only winner are the loan companies

If the US turns off their financial swap lines we’re screwed. If they turn off their GPS, Facebook, social media we’d struggle. We need an EU equivalent. China done it why not us

Talking to my 30yr old son about ppl not owning anything anymore. He answered that’s because of subscriptions.
When I was a teenager ppl used to spend hours looking at records in record shops. U could tell a person’s personality by their record collection that lasts until today. Buy Blu-ray movies

Trump has bankrupted businesses, casinos. He’s enmeshed with Epstein. He doesn’t believe laws and norms apply to him. He’ll say anything to get what he wants or deflect from what he doesn’t want. Maybe rich powerful 1% is what they want. He’ll use gun boat diplomacy to get countries to comply

Trump/US didn’t like UK/EU socialised healthcare. They want US healthcare insurance to takeover Europeans healthcare. Sunak and the Tories came close

I don’t like London, around the river on a nice day is ok. Trips to China town and Leicester Sq is ok. I don’t fear London, it’s safe. Just don’t like crowds.

Trump thinks (coloured) immigration is bad. He’s ok with white migrants

I used to think Boris Johnson was a better liar. In terms of the amount of lies Trump wins hands down.
His supporters must be really ***** to keep thinking he’s on their side and truthful

Trump is a moron , good showman. No wonder he bankrupted his companies including casinos. His motivation is to enrich himself. Proof: US needs to sell treasury bonds. Trump states he wants to reduce value of $. Why would they invest to lose money. He wants cut to Fed rate causing inflation.crazy

US period think everyone wants to go to US to live. That’s never been true. Many Americans like living in UK/Europe-less working hours, free healthcare, more cultural buildings, better food standards, less racism and more freedom to speak

Maybe threaten embargo.
December 10, 2025 at 9:34 PM
Trump admin showing their stupidity and hubris. If I was China I’d shut off all rear earths and possibly embargo on Taiwan boats/planes

Another $T on a war for the oil barons paid for by ordinary Americans . The administration won’t even tax these barons
