Trump should be heald accountable just like everyone else he should be called out when he lies and incites violence what he did today to get a photo op in front of the church today was one of the most disgusting things I’ve seen in my life tear gassing those folks for a bs photo op 

And do you condemn those thieving, looting, destroying and attacking the police whilst breaking curfew laws?

Nonsense, they just want his lies, racism, xenophobia, myopia and other prejudices called out for what they are.

You mean because that's what you label things you don't like? So therefore, they have to be censored?

Well maybe the liars in Congress, who have been lying through their teeth, should be censored too?

Nobody is accountable for voicing an opinion, all the media is accountable to the constitution, or should be:

 

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Ah but in this modern enlightened age, the left wing liberals think they know better than those who wrote the constitution. They believe they know better than anyone else and that only their views, opinions and ideas should be communicated. All else is bad and must be censored. They really don't want people forming their own views, ideas and opinions.

You obviously have no problem listening to a right wing clown!

Maybe he does. Maybe he doesn't.

But I have no problem listening or reading comments from right, left or center views. I will then make my own mind up which are clowns and which aren't.

I do have a problem with any one, including an organization's paid employees, censoring or dictating to me what I can and can't read. This is imposing their opinion and judgement which I may or may not agree with. But I should be free to chose. Not have the choice made for me.

Amazing how the Trumpist can turn the facts to support the most corrupt president the USA has ever had.

With the ability they have for creating facts they should all be writing children's books filled with fictional characters.

Why so amazing, leading Democrats and their supporters do it daily!

I look forward to learning who owns this ‘Company’ to which the contract has been awarded and what experience have they and their organization in dealing with children.

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, and why there was no diversity in the children and staff. All white and no apparent gender confusion etc. Disgraceful. 

And, those games could develop a spirit of competition. How dreadful would that be. 

Why don't you contact them and demand to know the answers to your pertinent questions? I'm sure they'll be only too pleased to divulge the information to a foreigner. 

I have a Masters of Business Administration degree (MBA) from a UK university, graduating in 1993. I am a Honorary Life Member of one Chartered Professional Body and a Fellow of another. I also hold qualifications in Law and financial accounting.

Whilst pursuing a business career I was a part-time visiting lecturer for 10 years at a University business school on two courses; designed a course for B-TEC and also examined for them. 

I also mentored a Headteacher at a British secondary school and delivered several presentations to groups of aspiring headteachers as part of Blair's Business in the Community initiative.

I have delivered presentations at 2 Thai universities, delivered keynote speeches at a Thai University conference, and the British Council, and moderated panel discussions at several conferences at the UN in Thailand. All this was several years ago.

I was asked to help a Thai Master's Degree student with his thesis which had to be written in English. The level of English in his draft was poor and the actual content wouldn't have met the standards required by the UK. But we got him through.

All of this work and experience, and the deep knowledge that develops, is now completely wasted. Ageism is rife everywhere. People believe only the young can be dynamic and up to date. 

Several of my daughter's classmates' parents encourage their children to speak with me to practice their English. The result is they all avoid me like the plague! They say my accent is 'too British" and they're not used to that ????

They will be damned if the do, and damned if they don't now!

The UK government got this horrendously wrong.

Not closing borders, their testing fiasco, and strict rules, that actually weren't so strict and hard at times to understand have created appalling figures and a situation in which whatever they do will be wrong.

Well done! 

Would make a good British farce but sadly it's far from funny.

WOW....they are finally waking up to the fact that keeping the baht artificially high is damaging the economy.

Most people have known that for ages, oh well better late than never.

Colin, with respect, they haven't been keeping the baht artificially high. 

How do you imagine they would do that? 

They have been trying to stop it rising for some time. But they, in reality, have little control over the forex traders and money markets.

Major currencies are weak. Traders look for what they consider better currencies at the moment, As we've seen, the markets can be fickle.

Is this the meaning of 'Make Amerika great again'? 

A land of violence, racism, nationalism, despotism, injustice, hate?

Wake up, Amerika! ????

Are you seriously suggesting it was different under Obama, Bush etc etc?

Maybe you should wake up!

i am not sure but if you forgot to declare something, lets say at the border, maybe it would be confiscated, or pay a small fine. You wouldnt go to jail, or loose yr job. 

So he didnt declare some luxury items, so what. he isnt punished hard, just like you and me wouldnt be pushed in front of a the train.

True enough. But this declaration of wealth, details of all assets, of MP's and their spouses is taken very seriously and declared public office. It's tracked and therefore, in theory, transparent.

Other who "made mistakes" in declaring their assets, even honest ones, were pursued to court. Some I believe dismissed from office and bared for x number of years.

So, the application and enforcement, it seems, is totally selective. As is the discretion in believing which excuse you want to believe.

The other, might I suggest, rather more serious questions would be into unusual wealth. And no one it seems, wants to go down that road.

For those who don't know .......

"Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency medical technician (EMT), was shot eight times when officers entered her apartment in Louisville on 13 March. They were executing a search warrant as part of a drugs investigation, but no drugs were found in the property."

 

Apparently the police raided the wrong address.

It seems the US is land of cover ups when it comes to the police.

"Other MPs?" Cummings is not an MP.

 

Those MPs who have broken lockdown and been caught and exposed in the press have all held up their hands, admitted it and apologised. Whether or not they were issued with fixed penalty notices I don't know.

Could you please provide links to the apologies made by Stephen Kinnock MP and Tahir Ali MP?

Thanks
