  1. They're also pressuring them to release the Tates aren't they? Utter scum.
  2. I've thought about that too. I genuinely fear the Chinese less than the US at this point. I would build up trade with them at the expense of American trade. In this case physical separation will be a good thing, but they can buy our services and we their EVs. They will become the dominant super power, see how the US likes those apples. Bad news for Taiwan mind.
  3. Also forgot to add, the post war rules based order also appears to be dead. NATO, the UN, the WHO, USAID. This is probably the biggest threat. Honestly don't know how we can come back from that. Sometimes you have no choice but to see how things play out.
  4. I made that suggestion on here a while back and since then I've noticed many other people suggest it. Not straight forward though, a major factor in trading is economic gravity, you can't physically shift where Canada is so it will always be the case most their trade will be with the US, even if that does involve tariffs. Incidentally this economic fundamental was seemingly too high a concept for the Brexiter gammons to get their heads around. The West has fallen, it has been decapitated. The World is being divided along 4 lines - the US, China, Russia and Brics, and the EU. The first three of those are authoritarian, a mix of communism and outright fascism. The fight in Europe is now to preserve liberal democracy. I would like to invite Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to that party. Maybe being in the commonwealth will count for something after all. We need to wake up, expel as much US influence as possible from our economies. It will be hard. But we are a collection of rich, educated, enlightened countries. We can do this.
  5. Trump has just literally blamed Ukraine for Russia invading them. Every time I feel like we are as far through the looking glass as we can go, there is another level.
  6. Good old t'Leeds. Play off final pelanty loss for the fans of massive lads.
  7. Seems extra weird for a woman though somehow.
  8. Possibly. A bit premature though. Fuck knows what the US and the wider World will be like by then. They get their election first, if they have one.
  9. Yeah, she's a disaster for them. Only issue is, she is letting Farage become the opposition. Isegrim's link works now btw, did you do the music?
  10. What a cunt. You just know if Trump made a political gesture, a pardon if you will, this twat would be happy as Larry. As long as it's not his face that's eaten, that's all that matters. Hope he loses his home and his medical insurance and becomes a tramp sodomised on a nightly basis.
  11. I berely made it through the trailer.
  12. Everyone's a critic. "Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur Of what is known as (It’s shite!) And this film can be avoided If you avoid the channel 4 network premier (It’s shite!) Banshees of Inisherin it’s called It got 7.7 of IMDb by those critics They love a bit of it (It’s shite!) What the fuck is this shite Irish paddy fuckers world war one Get some narrative mate (It’s shite!) All the people So many people And they all watch channel 4 Channel 4 to watch this shite Know what I mean?"
  13. Tell you what though, it got 7.7 on IMDb. Out of curiosity, I looked up what Saltburn got cos that ewerky lad is in both. 7.0. Saltburn was much more entertaining.
  14. It was alright man. A bit weird maybe. Dunno what ewerk has liked this post, inside he is seething.
  15. I genuinely didn't know it was so risky. Why give out visas if they're going to arrest you anyway? Anyway, I apologise for my initial contrary post to the bog monster leprechaun. 👍
  16. Harsh. As I understand it they were scheduled to be there for 5 days and had the appropriate paper work, visas, etc. I don't think we should spend millions bailing them out but they should get consular support, we still have a embassy there. Also politically useful to highlight what cunts Iran are. Not that Israel is any better. Edit: after reading home office advice, they have been silly billies.I can still sympathise though. Not sure what other routes you can take if you're biking to Oz.
  17. Latest from the orange shit gibbon. Normal.
  18. An Florida is full of crinklies dependent on Medicare. So he slashes welfare and gives tax breaks? So as you say, that benefits blue states and disbenefits red ones. So he hits his base. Interesting.
  19. Texas is canny rich, maybe Florida too, but a lot of the rest are probably net takers of tax money.
  20. Interesting you mention federalism. Listening to Rory Stewart today on TRIP, he was saying that because the US is essentially federal in structure, he expects Trump's antics to cause chaos at the State level, with individual states refusing to pass his reforms. And of course Trump will have destroyed the legislative and judicial guard rails, well that works both ways. Basically he said everyone has the assumption that the authoritarian Trump will do what he wants, but in reality he could be taken down in a civil war. I mean Stewart has been very wrong before, not least about the US election, but I respect his opinions. I agree there could be long term benefits for Europe if it survives this period. We must never rely on the US again. Kick them the fuck out of our continent. But what worries me is the contagion they have caused, the rise of popularism. Things are looking very dicey in Germany, France, and the UK. Not to mention Italy, Hungary. I desperately want things to get better but it never seems to.
