Ex-a few things, now mow lawns and shout at trees. There's enough for everyone, some people need to learn to share better. Into old toys, sci-fi, comics, films. I run because I have to ... you'll never see a cheetah jogging for fun.

That may well have been her biggest con, but where to start? She sold us stuff we already owned.
I'm hopeful more people are seeing her short-sighted policies, and her, for what they really were. The reverence is sickening.

Yes, you're hearing right. They've been brainwashing since 1776, and it's worked like a dream.
An objective view of what many Americans refer to as 'the left' isn't left, much of it isn't even centrist.
Both main parties would be at home with the UK's Conservative Party.

Reminded me of the Brexit marches ... the most middle class demos I'd ever been on.
Saw Waitrose granary bread, Hunter wellies, Tupperware lunch boxes, recent flat purchase in Islington.....
Knew it wouldn't work as no one looked like they'd burn down Parliament.

There is no 'left' in the US.
A few rogue voices but both parties are on the same side. Giving the impression of free choice.
The US is a country created BY rich white men FOR rich white men.

I get that, my criticism was much wider.
A true democracy requires an educated and informed electorate.
US citizens are as indoctrinated as those they look down on in other controlling regimes.
The US was better at it, and got them to believe they had free choice.

UK politicians were always telling the public to 'Plan for the future' & 'Save for a rainy day' whilst at the same time doing F all about it.

And without fundamental change to the entire system it will happen again.
Unfortunately 'The American Way' is so indoctrinated & the DNC making so much $ out of it, change isn't likely to happen.

One of the problem with America is that their definitions are very different to the rest of the world:
Socialist, communist, liberal = anyone left of Ronald Reagan and all the same.

Churchill photo with quote; 'This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is perhaps the end of the beginning.'

I bet it did, too.
Congress must be spinning in its grave.

Trump looking very orange

Trump looking very orange

Noel β€œwas likely the mysterious orange shape spotted in a blurry surveillance video near Epstein’s cell around 10:40 p.m. that night,”
Mysterious orange shape, you say? I'm not detective but.....

Donald Trump says 'war is complete' in major update on conflict Donald Trump has said the US is 'very far' ahead of the initial timeframe in its war with Iran, adding 'the war is very complete, pretty much' - hours after the country selected its new leader

Hard to work out of Trump has bottled it, or he's made enough money out of manipulating the market....... nah! He'd never think he's made enough.
#TACO strikes again.

So, in a nutshell, pretty much what is done now.
Do RefUK supporters ever leave their homes?

The most incompetent or corrupt investigation in history.

Trump & boys.
His fans will forgive him with girls "They looked older"..."They led him on"..... "They were easy".
Even the P tapes ... "Well, people like different things".
But their rampant homophobia will finish him, as they will consider it a 'gay thing', rather than about power.

Israel knew about it, but let it happen. Even made it easier for them.

Worked it out in 2001 when Stephen Byers was Transport Sec. and said trains were nothing to do with him.
They have created QUANGOs, Agencies, Trusts, Academies and numerous other bullshit barriers between them & responsibility.
It goes wrong; sack the CEO. It goes right take all the credit.

I'm old enough to remember when we all called it the Union Jack.
Why did it change?

Please; no Royal Navy ships BS.

Thanks, I didn't know this was a thing.
Should take the wind out of their sails.

He's not even as 'good' as Nixon.

What's he got down the back of his trousers?
Copy of War & Peace? Is he expecting a spanking?

Simple rule: If a Daily Mail headline has a question mark, the answer is No.

They represent 'The Party', they are chosen by those running it.
The sensible voices, those referred to as 'socialists' & 'communists' [under the American definition; anyone left of Reagan], don't stand a chance.
They don't want to upset the system and lose the $bn they pull in.

It's a system of national ignorance promulgated from 1776 onwards.
Keep 'em dumb, keep 'em fed, keep 'em amused and dazzle them with the BS of god & patriotism.
