    So, is everyone ready for Trump to fire Mueller and for the Republicans to do nothing in response? Should be fun!

    I've seen people slagging off Irish PM Leo Varadkar not for his stance, not for looking like the star of an off-Broadway production of Dracula, but for...being "too young"

    Oh I'm sorry, what is the minimum suitable age for somebody to lead a country? There's five reasons I ask this...
    i.) Pitt the Younger
    ii.) Duke of Grafton
    iii.) Marquess of Rockingham
    iv.) Duke of Devonshire
    v.) Lord North
    ...all of whom were younger than Varadkar when they took office.

    Trump has ticked off just about every country except......Russia. Amazing! Perhaps Putin is the real president of the USA.....

    Quick Donald.The billionaires need more money (and of course this means you too.

    A latest report says Trump employed many,many illegals and paid them $4 dollars an hour. Oh that can't be right.....can it?

    Trump's had the genius idea of telling Israel to move their capital to Jerusalem.

    Here's a better idea: why not move the POTUS's residence to a great height, over water?

    Boris Johnson's written a column in The Sun

    ...it's almost worth stopping there, isn't it?

    Boris Johnson's written a column in The Sun where he accuses Stop Funding Hate of trying to silence democracy by boycotting advertisers who appear in The Sun or Mail.

    By complete coincidence, this is the same Boris Johnson who conspired with Eton chum darius Guppy to have a journalist beaten up for reporting something he didn't like. Of course, that's not an example of silencing democracy, is it?

    Just as a reminder, here is a recording of that conversation

    Today the BBC launched a campaign to help young people identify fake news, a campaign they advertised with a remarkably patronising report where they outright tried to push the same agenda that the Mail and Sun regularly push saying they;re trustworthy, things you read on social media is all lies.

    By complete coincidence, senior BBC journalist (and former political editor) Nick Robinson was caught out spouting absolute horseshit twice in the space of twelve hours: first by claiming that Jeremy Corbyn completely ignored the Britait implosion "he talks about just about anything else" - only to be directed to Labour's statement on the shambles while also having it pointed out to him that talking about ethnic cleansing in Rohingya should not be dismissed as "just about anything else" - then he followed that one up by claiming that the Tory, Labour and DUP press offices had instructed their MPs to not appear on Radio 4's Today program...only for various Labour and Lib Dem MPs to point out that the BBC hadn't invited them in the first place.

    Is that how a trustworthy news source works, BBC?

    Robinson is a Tory and so is Kounsberg we had to suffer their bullshit in the Scottish Referendum. In Scotland many equate the BBC with Pravda they have always toed the establishment line.

    Throw in their Newsnight blunder from last week where they showed a completely unrelated clip and claimed it was Corbyn's response to the Budget (I brought it up a page or two back) and that's the point where their campaign looks less like concern and more like attempted brainwashing.
