    The "esteemed" Neil Warnock

    Take out the "Colin" from his name and solve the anagram.

    Warnock, who got the hump when Gary Lineker referred to him as Colin.

    They hurt Trumps feelings and now he won’t visit. Lucky them. Wish we could figure out how to hurt his feelings so he’d leave us.

    Today I'm having one of those days after looking at the news that I really wish we had a spare, untouched planet to move away from the madness of this one.

    Unfortunately, we don't and we have to share it with the current 'men of power'.

    Not only won't he visit but he's now on the attack against Denmark (as is his habit when someone makes him look stupid).

    Let's turn that one round Donald. Europe is a prime strategic area for protecting the USA from military attack. US military bases are on foreign soil with no fear or favour. That's worth something as well.

    Pretty interesting how this is playing out.

    The right wing is saying the left-wing is biased against Trump and/or stupid because they don't see the advantages of owning Greenland and what a great idea it is.

    It's not like no one ever thought of "buying" Greenland. There's a whole **** ton of places all of the world it would be handy to have and exploit. What stops us from doing this is just having a bare minimum of common decency and ethics.

    The right has so badly lost their moral compass that the idea of it being wrong to take something that does not belong to you and which no one consented to sell. So like if an immigrant crosses the border illegally, that immigrant is an "invader." But us just strong arming Denmark and Greenland into being a US territory and sending our people in to do whatever they want... that's just "business."

    They really don't see the hypocrisy, because to them there is none. Their moral outlook really is "We can do whatever we want." And by 'we' they don't mean the actual US. They mean *their* US of white christian men.

    Here is footage of a debate from Queens University in Belfast and what I have watched is in stark contrast to the yah-boo of BBC´s Question Time. You can see people on here right across the political spectrum from the island of Ireland, Obviously the first question was about Brexit, and very oddly there is no booing, huge respect is given to other speakers including that between the SF representative and the DUP. For me the most important issue around Brexit revolves around the island or Ireland. Accept Mrs May´s deal or just revoke Article 50.

    Later on in the program the UUP representative, Beattie talks about being a proud Brit, Irish and European in a discussion about Irish Unity. Can Johnson who claims to be a Unionist take on board the views of this man that his party was once linked to, in order to resolve the Brexit issue?

    The present issue around the Irish border would not have arisen if Tony Blair had had the guts to have made the UK a eurozone economy. We would have been better off as well because as it things stand, sterling is a very weak currency. And has been since John Major´s time despite the heights it reach a few years back. We should ask the question, do we need a currency that is volatile.? For me the answer is no. So I would wait until sterling reaches around 1.19 and then join the eurozone economies.

    And sod the wishes of 17 million people who were duped into voting Brexit.

    Forget Johnson he is just doing what he is told as is Gove. This is the man really running the country and I don't remember seeing his name on a ballot paper..

    Whilst his bodyguards are clearly rubbish, they do look a bit scary. Not sure I'd want them dragging me behind a van for "interrogation", but it would probably be worth it, on balance.

    Eggs are the more long distance option also thinking milkshake in water bomb balloons.
    This a bit more technical than the traditional catapult but something along these lines to increase range.
