Trump & his various goons & sycophants are as much a crime syndicate as the Corleones.

Sadly, he's probably got a lot longer than many of us would wish for. I'm not even sure he'll leave quietly in 2029!

It is a clear sign of Tory desperation that they are promising a model of deportations similar to that being used by ICE in the US. These are cruel, socially divisive & close to barbaric.

I agreed with one point Hesgeth made in his frat boy speech - 'fat' guys shouldn't be running the US military.

As social & political divisions in the UK widen & become ever more toxic, the need for electoral reform has never been more urgent. More rational democracies have voting systems that usually demand cooperation & compromise, not endless conflict. We are currently digging our own graves.

During the UK's membership of the EEC/EU, between 1973 & 2020, living standards steadily rose. In the 5 years since we left, they have consistently fallen. It's an enormous elephant in the room.

The behaviour of some of the American crowd at the Ryder Cup was sadly a direct product of the type of country their unworthy president has helped shape. Arrogant, offensive, xenophobic, moronic - and such bloody sore losers!
