Guided Missile

That's a bit anti-semitic, mate...

When history is written, it will be clear that the current leaders of the three main parties, May, Corbyn and Cable, will be seen as the worst this country has ever had, by a country mile. All this, arguably, while facing the most critical challenge our government has faced since the war. No wonder people are disengaging from politics in their droves. Traitor May spending her summer selling a pig in a poke, Corbyn redefining anti-semitism and Cable busy setting up another party. What a shower of sh! t they are...

My reply to you, which is apparently horsesh !t As Mark Twain said "Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.". I won't make the same mistake again...

The, "more white college educated men voted for Trump than Clinton" horsesh !t that I posted was in response to the post below, not to you .

Why didn't they recall the model that was said to have caused the fire, then?

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/eu-calms-varadkar-s-fears-of-physical-border-checks-after-brexit-1.3569485

Looking at the fridge freezer in the photo, it looks to me like the top part, the fridge, was where the fire started and has had it's door blown off it's hinges. I can't work out how the inside of a fridge can end up like that, unless something flammable ignited inside it. The freezer and fridge in the foreground duplicate the purpose of the fridge freezer that blew up. Why have two freezers and two fridges in a small flat? The forensics are to be finished by August, but I doubt there's much more to do at the scene. I could be wrong, but I can't figure out how the inside of a fridge can end up looking like the one in the photo and I keep reverting to the OP. Something's not right, but it looks like we'll find out soon. Just a theory at the moment and I've been wrong before. I was certain Saints would be relegated and England get to the final of the World Cup, FFS...

On Tuesday the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) announced the review’s findings on the exploding fridge, that “the product met legal safety requirements and that the risk associated with the model is assessed as low”. Whirlpool said a second investigation, by its product safety experts, also found no evidence of any fault with the model FF175BP or its sister model, FF175BG.

Detectives investigating possible crimes including gross negligence manslaughter, corporate manslaughter and breaches of the Health and Safety Act have carried out three interviews under caution, in respect of the Grenfell Tower fire. The Mirror reports that MANSLAUGHTER prosecutions may be just around the corner. Never seen a small flat with so many fridges:

These are a few of points I think Trump is right on, although that's just my opinion: Withdraw from the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) Cease all participation in the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change Require the 28 other NATO countries to spend more on defense Stop illegal immigration, deport all criminal aliens, end the sanctuary cities, suspend immigration from terror-prone places, reform legal immigration to serve the best interests of America and its workers, ensure that criminal aliens convicted of illegal re-entry receive strong mandatory minimum sentences and cancel visas to foreign countries that won't take undocumented immigrants back Impose tariffs on states that have a large trade surplus with the US Be tough on North Korea and Iran to achieve denuclearisation Put his country first, i.e. doesn't seek a foreign leaders approval, before seeking cabinet approval for important policies, unlike May, who I happen to think has committed treason.

I agree that Trump is an idiot when it comes to PR, but he is right about most of the important points he makes. As far as the comments about treason, with regard to his preference for Russia's account of the election meddling over the CIA, that is just laughable and about time a US President demonstrated he is not in thrall to the unaccountable spooks at Langley. If only Blair and Bush had used the same objectivity over Iraq, with regard to the CIA's dodgy dossier on Weapons of Mass Destruction, 100's of thousands of lives would have been saved and a war avoided, together with the resulting instability in the whole region. Not that the CIA didn't have form in the past for that type of behaviour. Kennedy in the early days of his presidency swallowed whole the story, they were spinning about Cuba and that ended up in the Bay of Pigs debacle. All Obama managed, whilst glaring at Putin, was a nuclear deal with Iran. Who the f*** at the CIA though that was a good idea? Certainly no one in the Senate had a say. If you're interested, read this piece in the Times today. Maybe you'll be able to take a view that is not formed by second rate media outlets, third rate politicians and fourth rate intelligence chiefs (there's an oxymoron).

Reasons Trump will serve a second term. Consumer confidence.... Better get used to him. All voters really care about is that warm feeling when you have a job, get paid reasonably, pay your bills and feed your family.

More white college graduates voted for Trump than Clinton.

Trump got 62,984,825 votes...

Tea-sipping, pansy-ass...

...and you think I'm a weirdo. Mate, you are as out of touch as the career politicians in the US and here. Patronising doesn't begin to describe your view of the average US voter.

Have no idea what you mean by this? This literally makes no sense so have no answer for you. Yes they have. Did you somehow miss yesterday's press conference? Trump literally said live on TV to the entire world that he believed Putin over his own security services. He has been extremely open, going on record multiple times that he believes being friends with Russia is in the interests of the USA. Again, I can't believe you see anything to the contrary of this, it is completely indisputable and on video (multiple times) so have no idea why you are saying this? Of course they should. That is a bonkers view to take, being a close partner allows us to be able to speak our minds if we believe they are wrong. wether that be about Vietnam, Iraq or puling from the Paris climate agreement I could repeat this for Kahn and Corbyn, but maybe it's too bonkers for you. You couldn't be more wrong. Firstly dismissing protestors in the stereotype you have provided shows your ignorance and lack of intelligence. That or you are deliberately lying to suit an agenda. Now she (Merkel) leads a coalition and has to be pragmatic. Isn't that brilliant? Of course he made no promises to us. Why add that? That makes zero sense?

Last time UK Liberals tried to influence US politics, this was the hilarious outcome:

Just my observations: A large number of protesters does not equate to a strong argument. Trump/the US have not started to hang around with Russia. Obama tried to bin us off, when he said get to the back of the queue if we voted Brexit. Our politicians should not protest against the office of the President of the US (Sturgeon/Salmond have discovered what a mistake that was and Khan/Corbyn will, if they ever get elected to any meaningful office ) Not one of those that voted for Trump in the US, gives a flying f*** about what some muesli eating, middle class socialists, protesting in the UK, while the nanny looks after little Jemima and Tarquin, think of their man. Merkel has been "hanging around" with Putin and his type, ever since she was in charge of communist agitprop at University in East Germany. Trump has done what he promised to his voters and was democratically elected by the US voters . He made no promises to the UK or the EU.

Guys, get some f***ing perspective. I can remember Putin's state visit to the UK and it attracted less controversy and protest. A few years later he was invading Crimea and poisoning bin dippers in Salisbury...

Happily, Ford Otosan was able to maintain their dividend payments, "during the heavy capex period" of 2012-2015, as follows: [TABLE=width: 500] [TR] [TD]Year[/TD] [TD]2012[/TD] [TD]2013[/TD] [TD]2014[/TD] [TD]2015[/TD] [TD]2016[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Dividend (US$ mn, gross)[/TD] [TD]325[/TD] [TD]166[/TD] [TD]79[/TD] [TD]146[/TD] [TD]226[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] With Ford US owning 41%, by my reckoning, Ford US earned just over $386 million in dividends over this period, gross. Let's take away the 15% tax they would have paid on that figure, without any other deductions, which comes to around $58 million and they are left with a net figure of $328 million. With prime borrowing rates of 4.5% in the US at the time Ford Otosan took out their $100 million loan in 2015, their interest savings over borrowing the money in the US were $27 million (@ 4.5% x 6 years). (who would bother to pay the capital off early?) minus $5.22 million (@ 0.87% over 6 years) making $21.78 million. Corporation tax in the UK is 20%, so Ford saved 5% over taking a dividends, rather than profits in the UK. Summing it all up, I reckon the EU Turkish deal to Ford US was worth about $19 million in tax savings and around $9 million in interest savings on the capital invested. So, EU tax payers wrote a cheque for around $28 million, payable to a US car manufacturer, to invest in a non-EU country, at the expense of Southampton jobs. Of course, I could be wrong and the Ford may have signed the deal to reduce CO2 emissions, not for $28 million in tax free cash. As I posted earlier:

Ford Otosan: €190 million loan agreement signed with EIB in 2012 8-year loan with 2-years grace period €100 million in Q3 at 2.06% €90 million in Q4 at 1.47% €100 million loan agreement signed with EIB in December 2015 The loan was utilized in the first quarter of 2016 6-year loan at 0.87% 31 % of their vans are exported to the UK, 18% to Germany, 8% to France, 6% to Spain, 7% to Italy and 3% to Belgium. €290 million to reduce CO2 emissions.... Jesus, was Osborne barking mad when he approved these loans? Slap a 25% tariff on vans from Turkey when we get out of the EU, on the basis of illegal state aid.

I'm afraid you're back on ignore for being a total muppet, pal. CO2 emissions...

Well done to Sadiq Khan. It appears that spending your time whipping up protests against the visit of the President of the United States, rather than tackling violent crime in London is bearing fruit:

Or, you take the time to read the EU Commissions answer to Daniel Hannan on this specific topic. I'll highlight the parts that may help. What part of...objective..., EIB Loan to..., Ford..., Pre-accession Country..., Turkey..., you guys don't understand is beyond me. Still, let's all rely on Twitter for the answer, shall we, although anything Ford say regarding cheap EIB loans, should be rejected, out of hand. They're hardly likely to say we moved to Turkey and closed Swaythling because the EU bribed us to. Luckily, after we have left the EU, all UK companies have to do, is for the UK government to ask to be let back into the EU and wait for cheap loans from the EIB. House a few thousand migrants on the financially challenged IoW, with rubber boats bound for France at the ready and the EU will probably give us a few billion to keep them there. Enough money to keep the caulkheads happy and they will get their cars cleaned for cheap, into the bargain.
