But he said the Mexicans would pay for the wall - that was an election promise he will not keep.

And how could anyone with a shred of sanity expect them to pay for it!? This crass fellow has his finger on the nuclear button!

Come on Niggly Mrs May lies to Parliament every time she opens her mouth and as for the rest of them they dont know what the truth is!!
Its the way of Westminster though, they still believe the electorate will think everything they say is true...ha bloody ha .
Do they relly think we dont understand the 800 BILLION inherited debt from Labour is LESS than 1. 8 TRILLION that it stands at now ,or that paying Capita or whoever for denying benefits to desperate people is a GOOD thing?
We really do need a modern day Guy Fawkes ..any vounteers ?

Love him or hate him he's carrying out his election promises.

I think they should build the wall as quickly as possible and before inserting the last few bricks, make sure that Trump, minus any money or identity papers, is on the Mexico side.

Let us confine ourselves to bashing Turdman Plod, and leave the JC bashing to other threads! grin

Anja - thank goodness there are those who see him for what he is.

I think its the lying to Parliament that is the issue with J.C, not so much what he said! Lying to Parliament is very serious as Mr Profumo learned to his cost.

Corbyn allegedly mouthed that May was ac’stupid woman’ but that’s nothing compared with those who’ve voiced their opinions of Trump

A supreme sexist.”—Barbara Res, former executive vice-president of Trump Organization, who also said “he thinks he’s God.”
“Like an 11-year-old child”— Steve Bannon. The now estranged advisor also allegedly complained that he was “sick of being a wet nurse to a 71-year-old man.”
Working with Trump is “like trying to figure out what a child wants”—White House deputy chief of staff Katie Walsh
“The White House has become an adult day care center”—Republican senator Bob Corker of Tennessee
“Morally unfit to be president,” “unethical” and “untethered to truth”—former FBI director James Comey, who also compared the US president to a mafia boss.
“Less a person than a collection of terrible traits”—Trump’s former chief economic adviser Gary Cohn.
Someone who “sucks up and shits down”—former Fox News chief and confidant Roger Ailes.
“A fucking moron” Rex Tillerson Ed US Secretary of State

I think that answers your question OP!

Crowdfunding has apparently raised over 12 million dollars.Why would you give money to build a wall instead of to charities for children or the sick especially at this time of year?

Just been reading about this - what a prize idiot that man really is!

The thought of going down the route of dividing nations in that way makes me feel sick. A huge blot on the landscape and a total waste of money.
