    Yeah the England Cricket team is not multi-cultural and multi faceted at all and is representative of peaceful English village greens and warm bitter in the 1950s (Irish Captain, one born in NZ, one born in SA, one second generation Pakistani and one born in Barbados)

    I wonder if the orange haired one is related. Both certainly looking through different lenses than most, although both were elected.

    Trump openly using racist rhetoric now: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-48997008

    He truly is a dangerous individual now. He is giving us an idea of how far he's prepared to go. Either impeach the bugger and make it stick or vote him out of office. Myself, I would not like to take the gamble,

    It is the hundreds of millions of people who think like him that worry me most. They live next door and you pass them in the street.

    He needs to look at Corbyn’s manifesto to understand what Corbyn stands for.
    Other than that he spoke sense.

    This is getting ever more closer, with Buffoon not calling Trump out for his latest racist slurs.

    I will sleep soundly now, knowing that we are recruiting school leavers to set up future trade deals.
    What could possibly go wrong?

    This is worth a read.
    One taster is the time Hunt paid an American hospital (he claimed it to be the safest hospital in the world) £12.5 million to teach NHS hospitals about safety. A few months later the “safest hospital in the world” failed it’s own safety inspection.
    We can trust him about as much as we can trust Buffoon.

    In order to work for the Departments of Foreign Affairs or International Trade in Canada, you pretty well need a relevant Master's degree or a four-year degree plus years of experience, and that won't exactly get you a prominent seat at any negotiating table unless you are a subject-matter expert. I'm certain all of those kids choosing between putting up drywall and negotiating multilateral trade deals will do just fine, though.

    Isn't his own slogan "Make America great again" implying dislike for his own country? How can you make it great again unless you think its not great now?


    Criticism of your own country is a fundamental part of democracy imo.
    Biggest sign he doesnt like what America stands for his how he doesnt like the free press and free speech that America was founded on, not to mention his stance on immigration that it was founded on.
