Not sure why UKIP went with a lion instead of a species that is more reflective of their party's status, for example... please log in to view this image
This is either a video of it all kicking off at Benfica's general assembly, or a sneak preview of the Dire Leader's speech at the Tory conference...
So the Dire Leader just said this in a softball interview... There was the day when there much more of an emphasis on people coming together for debates during election campaigns. Now it’s much more disparate, campaigning and messaging, precisely because there are so many more people on social media talking to each other about the campaign and political parties interacting with that as well. There were debates during the election campaign, you didn't turn up for them.
Puerto Rico mayor pleading for help. USA President to mayor. "Don't talk to me like that!" May and Trump = Tweedledum and Tweedledummer!
By complete coincidence, there's this little nugget of information from the Caribbean... Puerto Rico are saying it could take several months before electricity is fully restored to the island after the recent storms Cuba fully restored electricity to the island within three days after the recent storms Capitalism 0 Socialism 1
And on that same subject, Trump has been caught out lying again. In Twittering his condemnation of the Mayor of San Juan, who has pleaded for more help, he quoted a figure 10k US federal workers on the ground assisting the recovery. This appears to be an exaggeration of 100%!!
The EU was founded to prevent just the kind of fascist politics that is happening in Spain in Poland and elsewhere in Europe and what do we here from Brussels? I'm listening!
BREAKING: May to "freeze" tuition fees to "see off coup" and attract young voters. TRANSLATION: No change. As you were. She must think anyone under 25 is thick as dog ****.
Its primary purpose was to couple France and Germany so that the two massive military conflicts that happened in the first half of the 20th century between them became far more unlikely.
May was on Andrew Matt this morning, showing how well her Trump 'fake news' training has been going..... In what was a flustered and generally panicky performance, apart from incorrectly stating that the Labour Party expect a run on the pound if elected, she said that her government had reduced National deficit by 2/3rds in the last year. This isn't exactly the message that the ONS has officially published: "How much is the general government gross debt? At the end of December 2016, UK government gross debt was £1,731.4 billion, equivalent to 89.3% of gross domestic product (GDP), an increase of £65.4 billion on December 2015. This is the 15th consecutive annual increase in debt as a proportion of GDP. General government gross debt first exceeded the 60.0% Maastricht reference value at the end of 2009 when it was 64.5% of GDP or £979.8 billion." What has reduced in the last 24 months is the total level of national 'borrowing' - something very different. So either she is incompetent and doesn't know the difference, or she is lying. Mmmmmmm......... Neither are great options for a PM!!
European democracy. You can vote but only when we say so and only for who we designate. We will then feed you with lies to fit our required outcome.
You're right to focus on this outrage occuring in Catalunya. The oppression being applied on the populus is outrageous and needs to be challenged at the very least at a European level. But will that happen? Think we all know the answer to that one!!
If Catalunya does a Gibraltar and becomes part of the UK, then we'll allow them an independence referendum and respect the result.
Seven years of Michael Gove, Nicky Morgan and Justine Greening as Education Minister has helped in that regard...
