Just a bloke with a phone that is smarter than he is. Economically left wing, socially liberal. Cornish/Welsh, living in Portugal. Vaguely interested in lots of things, not fanatical about anything. Servant to 2 dogs.

Trump has pulled the security of former government officials we know are under threat simply because he doesn't like them. And he's done it at the same time as released a load of very angry, very violent, likely highly armed individuals who are loyal to him.

It is dark stuff.

In an interview with Hannity on Fox, Trump says he can tell if immigrants are bad based on how they look: “You can look at them and say ‘could be trouble.’”

That deafening noise is the Racism Klaxon.

Nigel Farage, Liz Truss and Suella Braverman went to the USA for Trump's inauguration, he didn't see them, he didn't let them in.

They just wandered around Washington wearing his stupid hats like the bootlicking economy crashing morons they are.

The EU’s new trade chief Maroš Šefčovič has said the bloc could consider including UK in a pan-European customs agreement but “the ball is in the UK’s court”, The Guardian reports.

Labour minister Matt Pennycock jumped in to rule it out: “we’re not seeking to participate in it at the present time”.

Alas poor Freddie. #thetraitors
I don’t think Freddie is dense, per say. I think he’s a good-natured, beautiful young man, and as is often the way with good-natured beautiful young men, everyone he meets is nice to him and as a result he has a charming (but doomed) lack of cynicism.
It seemed staged when he got out of the coffin did it?

In the TV programme?

They weren't really trapped in coffins?

You reckon?

Freddie is denser than a neutron star

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

He understands how Nationalism never benefits a country. It isolates. It stifles progress and innovation. It turns a country insular and stagnant. Canada is none of those things. And never should be. 🇨🇦
