Biden makes an ill advised comment about an abhorrent comment previously made and it is a big deal. Trump constantly makes ill advised comments (grabbing women by the pussy, the size of Arnold Palmer’s manhood, migrants are cockroaches etc etc) and yet this is an issue for Harris and not for Trump? Vance has made many advised comments but those aren’t an issue for Trump. The issue for Harris is that her campaign and suitability for the role as the next POTUS seems to be held to a higher standard than the other candidate. If this vote hangs on this quote from Biden, the whole world needs to be worried, not just Kamala Harris

I was thinking the same myself last night. Said to Mrs SOG that the local ale house will be swamped with extra customers now that a pint of Moretti is down to only £6.99. Duckie and chums will be happy. 🥳

I wonder if he was referring to “supporters” as those they wheel out on the platforms like the “comedian” who made the original garbage comment? Not all those who did or will vote for Trump necessarily support him. If that is the case he needs to make it clearer. Update - that was his point and he has clarified it. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdd09e4nl30o.amp

Ah, the good old days of the Empire eh? I am sorry to break your illusion but things changed a great deal last century, the balances of power changed enormously and without America things would be very different now. As for “free stuff” the Welfare State is not to blame for our not being a major power now. Frankly I am happy that we choose to look after people more than we chose to spend a fortune on becoming like the current super powers. We treat our citizens far better than the Americans, Russians and Chinese do.

They seem oblivious to the fact that we are in this mess because of 14 years of their mismanagement.

If it is as easy as Honest Bob makes out, why did his own Party make such a pig’s ear of it? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8dmq88j6rro.amp

A lucky shot? That was a cracking strike from Bree.

“Counter terrorism police have not declared it as a terrorist incident.” You might be getting ahead of yourself. Again. Perhaps he is a proper terrorist. Perhaps he is a psycho fantasist. We shall find out in due course. It doesn’t excuse what happened on the streets afterwards.

Would you honestly be happy for the USA to return to the days of “splendid isolation?” That worked well for us 🙄

The USA out of the way suits Putin big time. How would you feel about Europe going it alone in NATO too?

More grim news for the civilian population of Gaza. https://m.independent.ie/world-news/israel-passes-legislation-banning-main-un-aid-agency-in-gaza/a1024505081.html

No doubt there will a few holding a candlelit vigil for our hero tonight and Batman will be on soon complaining about a two tier legal system.

Erik is now available.

That wasn’t my point.

We have posters who will find this funny. https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/28/lesson-israel-unfathomably-cruel-war-might-is-right

Anyone from here popping along? https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/donald-trump-tommy-robinson-far-right-politics-victoria-parliament-london-b1190313.html

I’m always up for a bit of hypocrisy if it involves making fun of conspiracy theorists like you. As for me being a fool, calling me one makes you a hypocrite, doesn’t it? In fact, I would go further. Anyone who thinks there is no difference between Biden/Harris and Trump is more than a fool. I would suggest that they have some serious cognitive impairment.

The person I berated was making a childish, pathetic comment over a deeply serious matter which had seen tens of thousands of people killed, maimed and displaced. You, on the other hand, are clearly easily fooled and gullible and are regularly mocked on here. You regularly call others names but get upset when you get some back. Frankly, from what I have read, you are fair game and if you want to spout your conspiracy theories here, fine, but you really need to grow a thicker skin. I made a very light hearted joke about reptilians. I am sure you have had a lot worse. 🐸

Another racist https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjdl5y3y3mvo.amp

Bless you nic. It is quite incredible that you accuse others of the lack of self awareness when you clearly have no idea how you come across to others yourself. Mentally disturbed? I don’t know if you are yourself, but your posts are those of someone is a several prawns short of a barbie.

One of this country’s biggest racists has been remanded under the terrorism act and will not be able to attend his own rally tomorrow. The melt down on his X account by the knuckle draggers who support him is the funniest thing I have seen for a very long time.

You have to be a special kind of sociopath to continuously post laughing emojis after posts dealing with the death, destruction and displacement of tens of thousands of innocent people. And again. Sick individuals. Here, have a chuckle over this. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2024/oct/25/israeli-airstrikes-kill-across-gaza

No hypocrisy here then Nigel. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-used-33000-uk-33952661.amp

I’m sorry to hear that and completely understand where you are coming from. I don’t believe for one minute that it would be extended that far and if there were attempts to do so I am sure there would be a huge amount of opposition. The important word is choice. No one is going to be forced into anything they don’t want to do and if we ever get to the point where a Government is bringing in mandatory measures to euthanise people we will have plenty more to worry about as we will be living in a dictatorship. In the end it doesn’t really matter what I think. It matters to those that it will affect now and in the future. That is why I would like people to have a choice about their end of life care under certain circumstances, fully supported by our health care system. I see Wes Streeting is going to vote against the bill.

If Trump wins Trump will do what he always does and play whatever situation he finds himself in to his advantage. If it suits him to be pally with Starmer I am sure that is what he will be. I don’t see that Labour should pull any support from volunteers for their party as the leader of Reform supports Trump and the Tories are behind the Tepublican party. If they are going to worry about every single political optic they are going to hamstring themselves while the other parties carry on doing exactly what they want. From what is in the public domain so far, neither Starmer nor the Labour Party have done anything wrong. Do we really want a PM who is going to worry about what Trump thinks of him and us all the time? Remember the bit in Love Actually between our PM and the POTUS? 😉
