Trump - just not fringe or funny anymore !?!

I just signed the petition (link in December).
I have a horrible feeling about this man.

Trump, Putin and a clown PM?

I also just looked up the 'Peter Principle'. that the one that says that people get promoted to their level of incompetence..............
See him as President? OMG. Chaos?

Didn't expect this.

Still wouldn't vote for him, though.

Roses:

They would decide things by a bout of arm wrestling!

Unfortunately they will both have thier finger on the nuclear button- with what'shis face from North Korea too

Interesting. I wonder if they'd been allowed to stay in Germany whether Trump would be involved in German politics.

Oh god, and also what if bojo is our next pm? Him and trump, joining forses - imagine

From what I've heard on the news today it seems dangerously likely that Trump could end up as President now. Who'd have thought it? This may have been said elsewhere but I'm very sorry that Obama did not manage to achieve more than he did. I've read his books and he comes across as a very caring human being.

I heard on the news tonight thousands of Americans have gone on a Canadian government website to learn how to move to Canada.

They would decide things by a bout of arm wrestling!

I haven't read all the comments but can you imagine trump and Putin - in the same room - negotiating?!

That makes it even more worrying - Piers Morgan thinks he is OK

He does wear beautiful white shirts, though!

Piers Morgan seems to have a different opinion on Trump than the rest of us.

with the added plus pompa of not having to join in any singsongs or take part in a knobbly knees contest.

I can't comment on Greece, but I do know what the accommodation for workers at our local farm are like, basic, but clean and comfortable (probably better than Butlins was a few years ago)

You should see the conditions some migrants live in when working on agricultural fields in GREECE. Worse than the Calais camps and I am not joking . No doubt it is the same in other countries but we don't get to see nor hear about it.

Somebody asked if anybody had watched the recent BBC program on Greece, I did. I knew most of the points raised but some were quite an eye opener. It was hard to remember this was a program documenting conditions in a European Union country.

It's worth remembering the car washes that have sprung up over the past few years are part of the UK's Black Economy and also the chemicals used go into the drainage system which is a problem too.. There is opposition to them by the regulated bodies , naturally.

I realise you were being light hearted in your thread Pompa, sorry if I appear snotty. Really nice to see you posting again.

Thanks for that info Riverbank, that would influence my EU decision. I will speak to our local farm manager to see what difference it would make, they employ large numbers of migrant workers during the season. They used to employ local and holiday workers, but no one wants that type of work nowadays, our family used to pick/eat strawberries when we were younger.

Yes, pompa, such a worry.

Farmers have long been able to hire seasonal workers on special visas so that shouldn't be a problem.

As for worrying about car-washers ...... it's a reminder of how much of a low-wage economy the UK has become.

Anyone else thinking that some people "need" migrant workers, for wrong reasons? Heck.

Yes, it must be such a worry...

My car as well, pompa. Never thought of that. Very efficient and I can do my shopping at the same time.

Petra, the subject of that film is much closer to home. If we leave the EU, many of this countries agricultural areas would be hard pressed to find sufficient pickers for their crops, this is certainly true in our village and many parts of East Anglia. AND most important of all, where would I get my car cleaned ???

I doubt Trump can think past his own naval.

If you get the chance to see a film called 'Love a Latino' watch it.
It's a spoof about all the Mexican workers in California being kidnapped by aliens. California collapses without all the migrant workers, hilarious.

shakes head in despair (not at your DGS, at Americans I hasten to add!).

However, I will say that we have no desire to go back to America, although I am sure the DGC would love the Disney theme place.
