  1. I’m all for Trump getting back on Twitter. His handlers are less keen. Which is why he rarely appears in live broadcasts these days. And that’s apart from the legal jeopardy he puts himself in when he opens his mouth.
  2. Because you think a narcissistic billionaire has got your back.
  3. And his lies garnered him a huge following on the rightwing. Riddle me that.
  4. There are a number of circumstances in which you absolutely may not lie.
  5. The cards are not necessary. Simply use SWIFT transfers from UK bank to Thai bank and save card charges.
  6. I wonder, has Musk blocked their Twitter accounts yet?
  7. Sunak has refused to confirm he will honor the Triple Lock. My bet is there will be talk of ‘sharing the pain’.
  8. Currently he only has a Thai bank account and was asking if he can have his UK pension paid directly to that account.
  9. He can, but he’s be far better advised to open a UK account, get his pension paid there and never mention he’s living in Thailand. As soon as the pension service know he’s living in Thailand they will withhold annual cost of living increases.
  10. There’s good news too. Voter turnout is breaking records across the US. Citizens motivated to take part in elections can only be a good thing for democracy: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/midterm-elections-early-voting-updates-turnout-surpasses-prior/story?id=92022629
  11. Voter intimidation is well underway: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/10/arizona-ballot-drop-box-vigilantes
  12. The Mirror reported magistrates’ court findings. I already stated I understand why you don’t want to accept that, now you wander off topic into other parts of the world. What are we to make of that?
  13. The topic of discussion is: “OTHERED: How racism, xenophobia and religious discrimination were woven into the fabric of the UK” Implicit in which is a consideration of historical racism in British society.
  14. Of course you don’t subscribe to reports that undermine your point of view.
  15. If £8 Billion profit this year was double their profit of last year (do the math), which particular year did you have in mind?
  16. “after being detained by a steward, he said: "It wasn't a racial thing, it just happened" Let me see if I remember this correctly. ’Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he!’. But did you miss this: ” Magistrate Mervyn Mandell added: "We have in the circumstances found the racial element was there." Van driver Panteli, of Norwich, was fined £500, which was increased by £100 for the racial element, and told to pay £135 in costs.”
  17. Righty-o Paul: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/banana-skin-thrown-black-footballer-13680260
  18. Like I said, Paul, ‘It is facile to deny this racism was real and that it has a lingering presence in the minds of people who grew up in the UK through those years.’ Along you come to prove me right.
  19. Some might see it as revisionism. There we’re multiple ‘messages’ pick the one that suits your purpose.
  20. No surprises at all. For too long now we were warned the processed food industry where copying the successful tactics of the tobacco industry, and yet here we are. Now all we need is a few shills to come along and regurgitate the misinformation they’ve been drop fed.
  21. You aren’t running for public office on a platform of removing women’s right to ‘My body my decision’. Spot the difference?
  22. We are all entitled to change our opinion, but there’s more to this. Walker is standing on a campaign platform to deny women the right to abortions, while he himself has paid for one former partner to abort a pregnancy he had ‘a hand in’ (she’s got the receipts). And has continued to lie about it. He’s a liar and a hypocrite. However, it is also becoming increasingly apparent that Walker is not in favor of contraception, this will undoubtedly endear him to some on the swivel eyed religious right of the GOP.
  23. It makes the news because a guy just lost millions for spewing hate. But since you mentioned deficits continuing to increase, here a catch-up for you: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/21/us-budget-deficit-cut-in-half-for-biggest-decrease-ever-amid-covid-spending-declines.html
