Because it was "designed many, many years ago".

It's two years younger than Trump.

Worse still, Morgan was fawning over Gove this morning and even defended him when Sussanah Reid tried to do a journalistic job and ask tough questions. I think his response was, to paraphrase, 'it's fine to be a back stabbing slime ball - it works for me'.

Pleasingly, Gove is having a few tricky questions thrown at him by Evan Davis. Gove is floundering.

What a pleasingly appropriate present participle.

How do you work that out? she is easily the most unqualified, unprepared. biggest donor to the Repug party ever to be education secretary, surely to get anyone else would mean they'd be more qualified, how would he live with himself?

True, but the Senate, even if it's a Republican majority, can block/refuse etc. And this one seems particularly dumb.

He's having My Way played at his inauguration, Nancy Sinatra commented how apt the opening line is.

What an incredibly odd choice for an event which is supposed to celebrate the beginning of something.

Thick as sh1te.

They should shut up. And liberal tear scientists like Cox.

They should leave the politics to the politicians, and the people who aren't luvvies or scientists or politicians.

No he's really smart, it must be true he keeps telling us it is. In reality he only knows the line "I did it my way" and that's all that counts to him.

if only they would instead of leaving the politics to estate agents, Oil company executives, Hotel Developers, Pyramid selling families, Army generals, hedge fund managers, restaurant executives, billionaire investors, pro wrestling executives, alt right news producers, son in laws, and countless other millionaires and billionaires. Hopefully there's some caring folk among the list?

I heard on the radio this morning that there was a campaign to get Obama to resign in these last few hours before the Trump's inauguration. This means they would have to swear in the VP, making him the 45th president, if only for a few hours.

Trump would then be 46th, and have to bin all the sh1t he's had made which says "Donald trump, 45th President"

Petty I know, but it would be fun.

So, they've filled 28 out of 650 executive branch roles and refused contract extensions for all Obama executive branch staff.

I used to like Cox. However, I've become really put off him as of late due to his bleating. Yes, everyone is entitled to an opinion, but him and his peers seem to have gone overboard since last year.

First brexit, then Trump. It's caused meltdown for some of the tv personality scientists.

Thing is, I don't mind people having an opinion that is different to mine. That's what sparks debate. However, some people are quite bloody minded and will not even consider something that is different to what they think is right.

Trump won the election. Democracy happened, even if you do not agree with the result. If they don't like it, they can do one.

Bit of a contradiction there, if you don't mind me saying so.

Not really.

Someone with a different opinion to mine - fair enough. Someone who dislikes the result of a democratic process and kicks off about it - I couldn't care less.

What if they have an opinion on the electoral system?

The right to protest is a fairly basic one that people in a dictatorship are not allowed. Also Trump didn't get the most votes so people have legitimate grounds to complain before you get into the effect any outside meddling may have had.

make your mind up "if they don't like it they can do one" or "if they don't like it and kick off you couldn't care less", which one is it? It's like dealing with the Donald, you sure you aint got more important things to do, like get ready for your imaugoration?

Yeah, I wish.

Basically, I'm not bothered if someone has a different opinion to mine. If, however, someone is unhappy with a process result, they can indeed do one and I don't really care what they think. If they aren't happy with the process, they need to lobby their local MP (or whoever governs them) for change.

The right to protest is of course there. However, isn't the best way of protesting to seek change? Personally, I don't see the point in standing in a large group shouting about how you disagree with the result. Speak to your local governor/MP/cult leader/lover/whatever and start putting forward reasons for change.

Why is Trump becoming president today then if he didn't win? I don't see Clinton being inaugurated today.

Also, where did I say it was about the most votes? Not all systems are geared up to declare a winner solely based on the amount of votes cast.

Where did they way that he didn't win according to the system as it is?

What you said was because they don't like the result, they can do one. Which isn't how it works, is it?

Change is socially led. Hence Brexit and Trump. So one would hope that reverse change would also be socially led. If the MP you speak to is part of the issue how do you effect change?

Catch them in a compromising position, take photos, threaten to send said photos to the media?
