Retired to France a few years ago. Politics - centrist. Hate Brexit. Enjoy walking my dog and learning French.

His leverage over trump has to be so powerful that it is difficult to identify something not already revealed and 'costed in'. I propose it could be pedophilia with boys. No one seems to care he is a felon, rapist or into young girls.

I think 'try' is not the correct word here. You should remove 'try and help him' from your sentence

I agree. They cleared out some good politicians.

My wife has just spent a few days with people at the apex. She commented on their complete lack of understanding of the impact of their decisions.

I met some Israelis recently. What amazed me was the lack of self awareness and their victim perception. I tried to discuss issues, but it was impossible to get them to accept any responsibility for the situation.

This is truly disgraceful, and particularly so from a main stream political party. But, the greater shame must be applied to the wider journalist community. We must support free journalism not merely those we might like. The option is state controlled propaganda.

100%. Gambling is a scourge on society. I would also ban horse racing on TV. Or, if it is allowed, remove any information on betting odds.

I wonder what 'final solution' he has in mind.

Sadly, those on benefits will think it is someone else's benefits that will be cut. In their mind, their benefits are fully justified. It is all the rest of them that are benefit junkies.

There are other factors involved. France's political issues hinder their prosperity.

A friend moved his factory from near Birmingham to our town in France. His customers are mostly eu and he could not export easily. He now employs 30 french employees

It used to be 'nothing thicker than a boxing day turd'. Now; 'nothing thicker than a Clacton voter'

Sadly as wrong as the 'destroy gaza' argument. You can't just undo 80 years of modern Israel. There needs to be better compromise.

Have you not heard. Trump won the mid terms. He won it by so much. Bigly win.

I have argued with friends. They want change from labour/Tory but won't vote for green (too radical!). So they think farage is a fresh face who will shake up politics. I sometimes despair at the lack of analysis and logic amongst 'intelligent' adults. I am so glad that I brexited from UK

As someone else has stated, it is very scenario specific. Sometimes wonderful, sometimes cringe worthy.

I am an atheist, but I seem to remember a statement on 'false idols. And why is he touching Epstein?

Just wait till they find out what giving up their human rights entails. Turkeys voting....

It's not rocket science. Wars over oil are pretty much part of life now. So. It makes sense to consider alternative energy sources. I can't see a war for the local wind farm.

Absolutely. I have been saying to Americans since he was elected. We judge you by him.

The military serving away from home need postal votes. You can't rely on family with a proxy can you Nigel.

Yes, whenever I meet a brexit lover, I ponder how many more years do you have left.

This is hardly surprising. When you are dredging the lower levels of society you end up with complete misfits and nutters.

The Russian connections are allegedly extensive; Johnson, farage, mandelson - was any political party safe from their involvement? We will probably never know the truth.

Or influencers. Teen or twelve, the message is probably accurate.

Don't worry, we will keep voting for billionaires to get wealthier. Just need to wait a little longer for it to start trickling down. 🤔🤔🥺

You actually believe they will give up power? They are in for the long haul. Democracy in the US is what you once had.

I am confused. He made an accurate statement - and was suspended. That is beyond weird.

Yep. We had a bunch of Canadians stay last summer. Their hatred for what the US has become was powerful.

Anyone that lived in UK for a year during the dodgy years (1980-1996). So young people can, but not the over 30's.

I wonder what they will do to any survivors that they find. Somehow, I don't think it will be a pleasant outcome.
