Donald Trump told Sir Keir Starmer how he should slash taxes and stamp out illegal immigration if he is to beat Nigel Farage during an extraordinary hour-long press conference on Monday.
Whether it would work, hmm. There’s something of a Grand Natioanl Upchuck going on and I’d suggest, politely and gently, that it may not be wholly susceptible to mere evidence.
And of course it is all “the landowners” fault.
Most of these so called landowners would love to have stuff built on their land.
Anyway, use the brown field sites and empty spaces in the cities first and then build in the country. Even then councils will often not allow change of use to residential and the cycle starts again like a washing machine with a broken controller.
Oh wrong thread.
Duh
Plse file this in the 2 Minutes of SpudHate below.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is so strong here that I would not be at all surprised if Starmer egged him on to say this.
Trump: Don’t poke yourself in the eye with a sharp stick.
Average Briton: Fuck off you orange twat, just watch me.
The Donald playing more 4D chess in the absolute certainty that the hapless TTK is incapable of attempting let alone achieving either. It’s almost cruel, but so very well deserved.
It’ll never happen because the Labour base, the unions would just bin them. And unlike the Tory fatheads who are stupid like Cameron and May, or cuntwhipped like Boris, Starmer, actually understands this stuff. Who pays for and votes Labour.
Reading the comments in the Telegraph makes me think that the UK will struggle to become a normal country again. Most readers seem to think that Trump handing the hapless Starmer and Ursula Von der Useless their arses in a sling was a further demonstration of how incredibly stupid he is. Luckily for Starmer and Miliband, their far left brain cell will have convinced them that his truthful statements on wind turbines are further proof of how stupid and suicidal he is.
It was like pulling the wings off a butterfly. An animatronic butterfly. A master class in cruel to be kind. But if you are a Trump hater you just can’t see it.
I am not an uncritical fan of the Trumpster but I must admit that in his own way he shows signs of being a political genius, at least by the standards of US presidents.
And, of course, by the standards of US presidents he is not remotely Evil. Compare, for instance, FDR, Woodrow Wilson, Abe Lincoln, or Andrew Jackson: quasi-Nazis, the lot of them.
Quite a few europeans will be thinking that their own national governments could have secured a better deal from Trump than vdL achieved. Italy and Slovakia come to mind, but there are no doubt many more.
A small but welcome step towards the dissolution of the whole rotten edifice.

Selection bias. For a start commenters will be conformists who enjoy putting comments under newspaper articles. You have to pay the subscription to do that rather than say read the paper free by disabling Javascripts. So you’re bound to get over-representation from the Orange Man Bad crowd. Same’s true of wider social media. Posts on X etc are made by the TimeOnTheirHands crowd. Most people are far too busy doing stuff. Go talk to people like them & you can get very different opinions. And they’re in the majority.
When I say that the Trumpster is a genius of sorts, I qualify the remark:-
1. He won’t solve the US problem of mountainous debts. I can hardly blame him; there is no American politician who could do so. That’s because the electorate is dead set against the policies that would be necessary.
2. He won’t avoid being blamed for any economic problems (or praised for any economic success). That’s because the electorate treats the economy as entirely the responsibility of the current President, as if there are no time lags in economics, and no economic actors bar the prez. Simple-minded to the point of idiocy but it’s The American Way. (And maybe The Way in some other countries too but it seems to me to be particularly conspicuous in the US.)
I wonder when our host is going to admit he was wrong, and Trump’s tariffs are in fact going to make the USA richer not poorer?
