I detest Charles and Cammie and always will. I can't forgive them for ruining Diana's life because he never loved her at all.
I respected the late queen she was a wonderful lady. Don't think much of Kate or William never liked them
Don't actually care who wins the USA election the only one I liked was Obama as he introduced Obama care to help poorer people.
Putin needs to go as hes definitely a serial killer, and Russia needs to withdraw from Ukraine asap. Israel and Palestinian need to divide the land equally, release all hostages, both have their own govenments, customs border control etc and become 2 peaceful nations.
The UK needs a new PM and government who are caring to poor people and stop fleecing pensioners. We need a republic to save money.
There all sorted .... if only

I find I’ve warmed to King Charles.
And I hope Trump wins the US presidential election.

God forbid that egomaniac wins again. I can't stand the way he speaks, the looks he pulls on his face, the disrespect he shows to others. I thought our lot were bad enough but he's much worse.

I also dislike Trump intensely, he’s a misogynistic, chauvinistic, self important , vain man. He can’t read people, he can’t read the room. I find him slimy orange morally bankrupt, but, if I was voting in America, I would vote for his policies, his actions, and incredible love and passion for his country.
The human race do it ALL the time…..”oh I can’t vote Tory cos I hate Boris”, I can’t vote Labour I hate Corbin.” We are voting for the policies, beliefs, actions and attitudes of a party, NOT a person! They are only sitting at the top of the table,but are surrounded by the ‘voted in’ decision makers. Trump is a vile man, but people love what he stands for, simples……as do I.

Trump!!!!!

Do me a favour.

We are in trouble if he gets in and so will a lot of other nations.

Trump’s policies are vile, just like the man himself.

He needs to be stopped.

And on this side of the pond Sir Keir Starmer has suffered the biggest fall in approval rating after winning an election of any prime minister in the modern era, a poll has shown.

Sir Keir’s approval rating was at a high of plus 11 in July after Labour won the election with a landslide 174-seat majority – the biggest in 25 years – according to the poll, by More in Common.

But by this month, ahead of Rachel Reeves’ Budget on Wednesday, his personal rating hads fallen to -38 – a net drop of 49.

It takes him below Rishi Sunak’s rating, which this month has improved from -37 when he lost the election to -31, according to the poll of 1,012 adults.

In comparison, Sir Tony Blair’s approval was still at plus 46 in August 1997, three months after his landslide victory, when the figure stood at plus 60. It took until summer 2000 before his rating turned negative.

What's that got to do with supporting Trump please?

Tucker Carlson, a supporter of Trump, alleged that Samoan- Malaysians had low IQs.

It was an attempt to slur Kamala Harris but he just succeeded in showing his own IQ must be much lower than he thinks.
