First blood to Trump

The difference might well be thought to be that Corbyn is the leader of a struggling UK political party with minimal influence while Donald Trump is about to become the US President with a great deal of influence.

Even handedness can take you to strange places...

That's stretching things a tad pogs even for you

So I should have said one is a failing politician the other is going to be President.

I can just imagine how that would have gone down had I said it.

It doesn't answer the question with all respect.

Whitewave

Why am I stretching it?

You might not like the question but it is a perfectly relevant question to ask.

Oh I don't mind the question. It is simply irrelevant. Corbyn has no influence, nor does Putin have any interest in him.

Friday is going to be interesting. I wonder if any of this will get on the BBC.

Rinouchka, that was the link I put on last night. Good that others think it important enough.

Good to know that Trump thinks the UK is 'doing great'.
I didn't hear Gove correcting his use of language.

Cor! there's one near me.

Bridges not walls. Togetherness not division. Love not hate. (That's my bit)

This is who is taking part in Bridges Not Walls.

Are you going, then, whitewave?
Nearest to me is York. Or Rothbury. Half way in between, but York would be easier to get to. I think my son might object if I took my grandson down there, though.

Hope not Hate.

Martin Luther King Day today.

"Let us build bridges rather than barriers, openness rather than walls. Rather than borders, let us look at distant horizons together in a spirit of acceptance, helpfulness, cooperation, peace, kindness and especially love." - Martin Luther King

I hope they put the Humber Bridge one on the news. That would be good to see.

That bridge is part of Shoreham by pass so we can see it by driving past. Not sure how they are going to put it up though

Just watched Panorama

Yes, so did I.
Will John Sweeney become the next Litvinenko? I hope he has good bodyguards.

POGS see the quiz bags has put on a new thread.......hilarious, you can hardly guess which quote is from Corbyn and which from Trump.

I can't really see America going soft on NATO. That women was a bundle of fun.

Worth signing, whatever your opinion on Trump. To remove the US nuclear weapons from launch on warning status. Obama can do it before he leaves.

Love the way Gove was trawling the studios yesterday, boasting about his "underachievement" as it was described in a lovely sketch by John Grace.

"Most people might think that, after conducting an interview with Trump, that read like a celebrity piece for an airlines inflight magazine then went on and posed for a cheesy sleazy photo under a playboy magazine that Gove might have wanted to lie low for a bit to recover from the embarrassment. But no Gove's narcissism carried him along from studio to studio sounding less modest with each subsequent interview."

Later in the morning he tottered up on the Daily Politics where Jo Corburn gave him the biggest put down " you had the president elect for an hour and you didn't challenge him once on any inconsistencies" she observed.

Mikel beamed ...... someone who got it.......it wasn't and never had been about Trump it had been about him the Great Mikey who by getting an hour with the Trump allowed Mikey to bask in the orange glow -so we got mini-me and the great Don.
All power to Mini-mini-Mikey

dj I thought Obama did that last week?

Does anybody know if any musicians have agreed to play at Trump's inauguration? Apparently the Bruce Springsteen tribute band has pulled out.

As far as I can make out there's a lot of Country and Western third rate performers.

"It's going to be a beautiful thing"

Of course it is, he's going to be the best job producer God ever created.

Bleagh!
