  1. Being Russian linked is quite the thing in Washington these days.
  2. Again, off you go with your whataboutary. Here’s the bit that matters. Trump made lots of easy promises during the election campaign, he’s now got to deliver on those promises. His past performance indicates he will not.
  3. The statement’Trump did not deliver the wall he promised used and he did not get Mexico to pay for it’ is factual. Hence your inability to respond to the facts.
  4. This is the ‘Deny what your own eyes and ears are telling you’ argument.
  5. He never delivered that wall and Mexico never paid. He’s got form. You obviously were not paying attention.
  6. Your Biden whataboutary isn’t going to help you when Trump adds to his U-Turns on promises to anyone who is not a billionaire or a foreign tyrant. I hear Monday’s ‘excitement’ is going to be subdued by the inauguration being indoors. Perhaps not enough crowd warmth to to keep the old man warm.
  7. Let’s start with allegiance to the Constitution and not to any one man.
  8. There’s nothing about Monday to get excited about. Trump will not deliver on promises, Well not to working Americans he won’t.
  9. The was that thing of the debt fueled by tax giveaways to the hyper wealthy.
  10. A blind assumption on your part. Stay lucky, you’re going to need it.
  11. Billionaires billionaire, don’t kid yourself they have any concern at all for you or those you care about.
  12. She’s doing her best: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jan/17/kemi-badenoch-pensions-triple-lock-means-test-alarm-tories
  13. Gaza ceasefire agreement agreed by Israel security cabinet: https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/jan/17/israel-hamas-ceasefire-deal-gaza-live-blog-updates-netanyahu-hostages
  14. While the OP itself states Hamas are actively recruiting, the news is that diplomacy is at the brink securing a ceasefire, the release of the hostages, prisoners, and much more. Israel has very clearly taken part in this diplomacy.
  15. No I do not support the actions of Hamas that I have consistently referred to as heinous and which you are aware I have consistently referred to as heinous. I do support negotiations for peace and I do support the exchange of hostages, prisoners and captured military personnel. The ceasefire deal is not yet approved by the both sides, I hope it does get approved and I sincerely hope both sides abide by it.
  16. As the BBC reports, the ceasefire deal is not yet approved by both sides with wrangling over issues that might still yet, though hopefully not, prevent its approval. Your inflammatory suggestion would without any doubt scupper this very important and necessary ceasefire.
  17. This BBC report provides broader information on the current state of the negotiations: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93ll522e9no
  18. I’m not a fan of folk who don’t pay their taxes. Moyne gets no sympathy from me.
  19. Good for you Jonny, all honest and essential work. I admire folk who will make an effort and regard no work as lowly or beneath them.
  20. Good news that hostages and prisoners are being released (exchanged) and too of a pause in the killing. Bad news of mission creep and continued Israeli occupation in Gaza, but it does at least expose the lie that if the hostages are released the killing will stop.
  21. All based on your own preconceived notions of a hierarchy of jobs. I’m very clear on this, labouring, hod carrying and other low skill jobs are all honest ways to earn a living, essential too. I don’t subscribe to your opinion of ‘lowly hod carriers’. Maybe it’s a product of that British Class thing, but describing an honest days work as ‘lowly’ is definitely disdainful of the work and those who do it.
  22. Thank you for demonstrating the point I made.
