Since it's the only way the Orange Overlord understands politics... Peace treaties signed by Kim Jong-un: 1 Peace treaties signed by Donald Trump: 0
I remember sailor. They did "Girls, Girls, Girls" in the 70s. That's presumably why his Trumpyness remembers them too.
Donald J Trump made it happen. You don't understand that. So sad. < coming to a Twitter account near you soon ... >
This week's edition was brilliant. Can't find a link yet, but he absolutely destroyed one of Trump's latest appointees. Edit: this was also brilliant on LWT this week. Essentially shredding Trumps stand on the Iran deal. https://www.hbo.com/last-week-tonight-with-john-oliver
Several thousand Twitter accounts have already tried to claim it. I haven't seen so much insecurity since that time I accidentally clicked on the Goon board...
One MailOnline user apparently thinks that we fought the entirety of World War II on less than a fiver... please log in to view this image
The Raving Mad Trump has been found not guilty of collusion with the Russians by the Republican Party. Do you know,if Hitler was a Republican they'd find Hitler not guilty of anything. I wonder,in the future,whether Hillary Clinton will take Trump to court for lying about her? That would be very interesting.
The Tories suddenly remembered that there's local elections on Thursday and sacked Amber Rudderless. Then they apparently forgot again and installed Sajid Javid as Home Secretary...
Re the proposed Sainsbury's / Asda merger. It is said that there will be no in-store job losses. It is said this will benefit the consumer up to Xp on certain items. 1. There will be massive losses in warehousing and other support functions. 2. There will be store closures, perhaps not immediately, but there will be and lots of them. Are we seriously expected to believe that the new company will keep both stores open if they are close to each other? Basically whatever senior person says there won't be closures is basically lying. They just know that after a certain amount of time they won't be held to account for the statement. And they're right. Either they won't be in post when the major closures happen or the media won't properly follow up and disgrace them for the lying bastards they are. 3. The price reductions will not be anything like claimed. Of course this larger company will be in a better position to screw it's suppliers, which is of course how a lot of these "savings" are made. 4. This is supposed to be good for the consumer. Well lots of people losing their jobs are consumers. Lots of the suppliers that don't get a fair price for their good are also consumers. And if a lot of people losing their jobs are then on benefits that effects all of us in the taxes we pay. Yes, us consumers that save 10p at Asdabury's but then have to support 50,000 extra people on the dole.
The appropriate state departments take the claims at face value, ask for the numbers on all the claims, compare/contrast with previous equivalent cases, and if the numbers do not add up for the govt, no can do. Note to do proper due diligence on this requires a Big Data analysis the likes that has either never been done before or the govt does not have the systems capability to compute even if the source data is available.
Sainsbury's are in freefall against Lidl and Aldi. For info, their small Romford store is supposedly losing around £75k per week!! All contracts are being renewed and redundancies anticipated in the near future..... Public pronouncements are somewhat different it seems
I go into Lidl Angel Road N18 about once every 3 weeks around midday. It is an absolute bare bones cattle grid with about 8 manned tills which are usually half utilised, resulting in queues that stretch right into the actual product aisles. God knows what it is like at real peak times (I would not tolerate using them for real prolonged waits regardless of how much cheaper they might be) .
Don’t use them much when I’m in the UK, so cannot comment, but in Ireland they are excellent with great local produce and their pricing and quality has more than kept the others ‘honest’. The likes of Dunnes stores and Supavalu have both had to up their games to compete and the consumer is the winner. Not so sure that their employees will have the same opinion, mind!
The resignation correspondence was particularly cringe-worthy and summed up the feeling of entitlement that most politicians seem to have. Rudd’s ‘apology’ amounted to a sentence of mealy-mouthed partial acceptance of an inadvertent omission, followed by several paragraphs cataloguing what a fantastic Home Secretary she had been. May’s response was an equally obsequious concoction of lies and platitudes. They must have stayed up all night writing those
