    Why stop at the Mem? Why not include those that have graffitied the Robins adverts around the city?

    I know you detest Corbyn and his cronies, I also agree as President of the US we should show respect for the office , but surely you aren’t suggesting Trump is anything other than a Tw@ of the highest order. I despise him as much as you appear to despise Corbyn

    I've never professed to like or have any thoughts about Trump and what you think about him is up to you, if you have a preference for Corbyn good luck to you, that's your choice, every man to his own.

    Which principles are they RR , I respect the office he holds, but the man himself is a tw@ , his views and manners repulse me. Corbyn on the other hand may not be everyone’s cup of tea , you may not like or agree with his politics, he may be incompetent, but he isn’t a nasty individual like Trump.

    Corbyn may be misguided, or not, depending on your point of view, Trump on the other hand is a nasty individual.

    But Trump, nasty though you think he is, does actually do what he says he gonna do, the promises he made to millions of voters in the US, whether you like them or not.....unlike Corbyn, who's done nothing to aid democracy regarding Brexit.....Total waste of space in my eyes.

    No he doesn't. Where on earth has this fallacy come from? Where is this wall he promised he'd build? Where's his deportation of all illegal immigrants? Where's his ditching of NATO?

    Trump is always marketed as someone who 'gets things done'. Not a chance.

    I'm not making out he's a bad President. I've no idea where you got that source but if it's true I'll bow to that, I know nowhere near enough about American politics to make that call. You guys are probably right.

    But in terms of him being a bad person and whether he actually gets the stuff he promised done - that wall doesn't seem very in progress to me...

    I've got to be honest I don't like the Muslim ban, children being caged,misogyny, support for the gun lobby but all of these things are USA problems, we have to live in the real world, look at the treatment of woman in the muslim world, the way they treat Christians, look at the human rights of people in China, Israel and the Palestinians, all the African countries and the way they treat human rights, Russia treatment of gay people is disgusting.

    We have got to live in the real world, stick with our friends, maintain our own way of life, faith and democatic systems.

    Not heard about that. I have seen a few Rovers season ticket adverts that has been destroyed. The one in Filton in particular is in a right mess.

    I condemn all those actions on both sides. But not really as bad as graffiting a stadium if you know what I mean. Very nice of your club to apologise on behalf of them <ok>

    Hasn't building the wall started? Thought I seen something a few months back showing the wall has started. Something like 10 - 15 miles worth. Not much I know but hasn't the finances been the issue to date?

    If you don't know much about something then why rant that he's done nothing? Listen to too much dodgy tree hugging media mate..
    Google is the source, a spot of technology that 30 years ago no one knew could exist!!!

    What's your point?

    The technology for the border might well exist. In fact it probably will exist at some point. It might be in 6 months, it might be in 100 years. Do you think it's wise to plan the entire future of the country on the possibility that it might come in ASAP?

    "planning the entire future of our country on the possibility it might come in" - are you bonkers? That's extreme negativity.

    You could equally say that as a result we're "planning the entire future of our country on the basis that it wont".

    In other words we can't leave the EU because there will not be a solution to the problem - equally bonkers.
