    As a comment was made on another thread, can I just say that if a country knows that someone is definitely a crook, boasts about assaulting women and is probably a racist, then elects them anyway, the whole system is totally screwed, and it's not all one man's fault.

    The fact that since then it's shown that he broke election laws, his campaign was full of crooks and a report is out showing that he is definitely a tax fraud, he lies all the time, and he still has an even chance of being reelected makes it even more clear.
    Completely agree with that. I must confess I find the way that BoJo seems to be modelling himself on him and a lot of people seem to like it somewhat troubling.

    Imagine a future Britain where the electorate have to choose between Corbyn and BoJo. :shock:

    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Apparently BoJo doesn't even have enough support among the tory MPs to get the needed 48 letters. For once the tories get something right. At least BoJo's extra maritals have supposedly been consensual plus those he's been attracted to are not underage and not related. So he's not completely modelling himself on his hero.

    Might be BoJo and Mcdonnell I fear. A worse choice. At least Farage will never stand a chance.

    Trump had money backing him. Corbyn had unions backing him. Who of significance has backed Farage? Aaron Banks? Unlikely happens. IMHO Farage is beyond unlikely. Fancy a punt on it Stevo? You took an outsider to leading the opposition. Fancy trying that with Farage?

    Thankfully I agree, my point being that there have been some stranger things going on in the world of late.

    That might change if Stevo starts supporting him. :wink:

    It's one benefit of the Party system in the UK. Farage would have to become leader or the Tories or Labour to become PM.

    speculation that Nikki Haley is resigning, WH meeting shortly, although I guess she could be about to out Trump as a sex pest?
    Trump says big announcement at 3.30

    It's in US newspaper websites. Plus a few old stories resurfacing about a watchdog investigating her for private plane use. Usual story of being funded by a big businessman, reaping the personal rewards of office and drain the damp. Reality is she's resigned so is a traitor to trump and his supporters so she's part of the Washington corruption as a means to prevent any criticisms of trump that she might have from hitting very hard. Of you're against him you're corrupt (more like not their kind of corrupt and incompetent).

    How many people does trump have to lose before he loses too?

    Yep, resigned. Hardly a surprise as she always seemed too competent to be in the Trump administration.

    OK, sorry for digression.

    Anything new about the ambassador and whether it was trump ditching her or she really did resign off her own bat?

    no worries :wink:

    seems amicable on the face of it, but as you mentioned above, the private plane and the anonymous op ed in the WoPo are being speculated on as reasons in the MSM

    doesn't matter a single jot - Jared will get the post and he is (I quote verbatim) a "hidden genius that nobody understands".

    So all will be well there then.

    Nah too much of a hidden genius to be wasted in the UN as an ambassador, don't forget Trump hates the UN, he might give to Ivanka though

    Happy to take all the credit when the markets are going well, blames others when it crashes. Yup! Sounds about right.
