Snowflake means easily offended, I am not and couldn't give two shiny to the rubbish you interpret above. If the EU is so wonderful which is what you are promoting, why not give all countries a vote on staying in or leave. The EU is not the ECC what the UK was conned into joining, by the lying Ted Heath. I am glad that people in the UK are not so gullible, have courage and belief in their country, that they do not have to belong to such a corrupt organisation, called the EU 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have done by yourself before posting. The Republican president has insisted he in fact won the popular vote, "if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally", without offering any evidence for the claim. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42561699 He did it again in 2018 "The Republicans don’t win and that’s because of potentially illegal votes,” Trump said. “When people get in line that have absolutely no right to vote and they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again. Nobody takes anything. It’s really a disgrace what’s going on.” Suffice it to say Trump didn’t present any evidence for his claim. https://www.vox.com/2018/11/14/18095592/trump-voter-fraud-disguises-cars-daily-caller-interview 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having crying rooms across university campuses because Hilary lost sums it all up for me. Rather like those who can't accept Brexit and want to prevent it in anyway they can. No, it's poor timing for The Donald's state visit really, as London will be snowflake central for a few days. Some fine weather has arrived - just nice for protesting. The students have broken up after exams and can squeeze in a few days before 'finding themselves' somewhere exotic. It's not quite time for the chattering classes to go on holiday, until Oliver and Olivia have finished prep school, so the mummies can play at being activists again.

I couldn't agree with them less, but they are determined and will fight 24/7. Johnson will weather the storm and his previous comments will be swatted away. I am amazed it is that high in the UK, where he has committed one blunder after another. His approval elsewhere in the world is very low. Mexico had the lowest ratings for the Trump presidency with just 6 percent expressing confidence in his leadership. Canada's ratings of Trump's leadership were higher at 25 percent, while only 39 percent of Canadians expressed a favorable opinion of the U.S. as a whole -- the lowest percentage since Pew began polling Canada in 2002, the study said. Two of America's closest European allies reported low confidence in Trump. In Germany, just 10 percent held a favorable opinion of the president, while three-in-four Germans said the U.S. was doing less to address global problems. In France, Trump's confidence rating was similarly low at just 9 percent with 81 percent saying the U.S. doesn't consider the interests of countries like France when making foreign policy decisions. https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/poll-shows-global-approval-ratings-trump-remain-low/story%3fid=58210702 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Trump and Trump's followers are an indication, that's not an issue. Anything can be ignored, denied, explained away or deflected. Moreover, said comments might actually get him some votes from the other side, if they cast him as secretly with them. Or something. But it is funny how some groups are acknowledged as involved and punching above their weight, while the same is rejected for others.

After all, it worked with Putin and Russia helping him get elected as U.S. president. So now he's figuring he'll try the same tack in helping get Johnson elected as UK PM. How exactly did Putin help Trump get elected. I thought it had been decided by an independent inquiry that Putin had played no part whatsoever in the result of the US presidential election. I sincerely doubt that very few Americans if any are going to pay any attention to a Russian trying to tell 'em how to vote. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people that you refer to as your 'peers' are a group you have chosen to associate with/identify with and therefore very much more likely to share similar outlooks, such as political views. So you know a lot of people who hold similar views to yourself, so do I. How about this for hogwash: Arguing that because someone continued their education into 'further education/university' they somehow skipped life experiences, didn't 'live in the real world' or earn a living?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, the observation you made from personal experience is not BS. It's a little more than simply confirming that you personally don't have knowledge of something, but of course not being aware of something is not evidence that it does not exist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
