In case we didn't know already, Donald Trump proves yet again that he will say literally anything to get elected. A populist of the worst sort, playing exclusively to people's fears and worst instincts. Racism, misogyny, vanity, incoherence. What a ****.

I wonder if he has only got one ball?

We gonna build this ****ing runway or not then?

It's vital for our ability to import crap from obscure polluted Chinese cities. Or so I'm told.

I don't have a clue as to whether we need another runway/airport, but I think it should be built on the Scrubs.

If we need one we should build it in Birmingham so I can fly to more places easily. But the flight paths should not come near Leamington under any circumstances. There should also be high speed non stopping trains to the airport, Marylebone and Shepherds Bush from Leamington every 15 minutes.

We can't decide when and where to do this, we can't be arsed to investigate the deaths of vulnerable people, what a nation of slackers.

A truly arresting line from that article:

"On Thursday, Connecticut became the first state to bar people listed on federal terrors lists from purchasing weapons"

Beg pardon? In the other 49 states suspected terrorists can buy guns? Jesus wept.

But to cheer us up there will soon be footage on the news of Donald Trump being mildly attacked by a bald eagle, and needing a rug rearrangement as a result.

Outstanding.

Just read that a single flight to New York creates, per passenger, the same carbon emissions as driving a small car for a year.

Which makes me personally responsible for global warming. Sorry.

You should drive there.

Caroline Flint just said on QT that Trump's statements about Muslims were racist. How can this be so? Islam is not a race.

Bigoted certainly, but not racist surely?

It's on in the background while I lightly abuse an American colleague (and friend) about Trump by text. He's taking it well (well, he's a democrat), loved the tube poster. Flint is an idiot.

I'm loving the global warming. It's been so mild I've yet to put the central heating or a coat on.

Wasn't Flint married to a muslim who got deported?
 
I don't think the Muslim bit is that relevant according to what I've just read about him. Tunisian who got a bit rowdy after they split up.

I've just looked it up. She's apparently been trying to remove information about him - mainly his violent tendencies and deportation - from the internet.
 
I just tried to sign the Trump petition (just for a laugh really - nearly half a million now) but got stuck in some circular situation that has me beaten (pissed!). Not bothered really, I'd rather we let him in and chuck pies at him.
