Off Topic Politics Thread

You can see the headlines already in the Express Sun and Mail to stoke up the level of activity - pity it is fostering right-wing sentiments!!!

 

The guy is insane and the next US president...

 

Has the world really got to put up with his bullshit for the next 4 years, or can someone do everyone a favour and push him off the edge of a cliff?

 

Is anyone from the UK going to represent the UK at Castro's funeral? Boris Johnson, perhaps and Prince Charles. Funny how they all turn up for the funerals of duff US Presidents like George H Bush and Reagan. Putin will be there so it would be a good chance to say hi to him.

Latest legal battle re Brexit. This one is about whether the UK stays inside the single market after it has left the EU. Opinion differs as to whether we automatically leave the single market when we leave the EU. There are going to be a lot of rich lawyers out there by the time this is all over.

 

He'll push himself off eventually. Despite the reverse-gaff effect by which Trump, contrary to all political precedent, actually benefits from his unguarded comments, eventually he'll destroy himself. The worry is how much damage he may do to US democracy in the process.

Paul Nuttall elected as UKIP leader. Says he wants party to take over from Labour.

 

Nutall makes Farage look sane sadly.

Anti abortion, anti science, racist, anti nhs, climate change denier etc

Moans about everything being too PC just because he can't spew **** out his mouth.

 

You've added him to your list of politicians with mental illness! - I don't believe he's insane personally, I don't support everything he says and does, as is the case with any politician, but I stop short of calling people ill just because I don't agree with them.

 

It's a saying. No I do not believe being a racist is a mental illness. He has no excuse for some of the stuff he says.

I am a mental health sufferer myself.

 

I give it 3 weeks max . Farage is such an egotist , he cannot let go completely . .

 

That's fair enough Beefy. At the end of the day, Nuttall is a career politician who often says what is politically expedient to his particular cause - I tend to take everything him and his ilk across all parties say and do with a large pinch of salt, even Trump to a lesser extent.

 

Triump is a narcissist with weird hair.

 

That's a definite fact

 

This hairism has to stop, I have always suffered with a severe lack of hair, even as a nipper the little hair I had was terrible, I had this weird cows lick thing going on. When i win the lottery i'm going straight to the belgravia centre and getting them to Fellaini me up.

 

Long as your hair doesn't look like Trump's all is good.

 

This is the stuff that annoys me. Because people believe this and so they keep passing these awful, racist voter ID laws. Voter fraud is non-existent. But vote suppression is very real.

All because Trump is an idiot, and has to spout off at the tiniest bit of criticism or opposition. He thinks the election was rigged like he thinks Hamilton is overrated or Alec Baldwin isn't funny. It's not important, he has no evidence, he's just lashing out like a five year old.

Someone called him a name, so now a million voters will get disenfranchised.

 

Donald Trump picks Georgia Representative Tom Price as Health Secretary.

I am looking forward to the BIG DAY. Trump will take the oath, someone (obviously not someone 'of colour') will sing "Wonderful World" and we'll all hold hands and shed a tear. A world of Donald Trump and UKIP beckons, and we should all share the love, brothers and sisters ... who mentioned madness?

I'm bloody old and purely selfishly don't give a ****. But my children and grandchildren have got to survive in this new order. Maybe that old 60's conversation opener "Come the revolution" needs to be heard again.

 

£100,000 of public money could have been put to better use.......not a party.
