Yes, of course that's what it was.Quote:

If I was American I would hope that most of his bluster is just that, saying what needs to be said to gain power and appease the people that put him there but behind it all he is going to play a rather smarter game...might be a forlorn hope but I suppose we will find out soon enough.
900 000 in New York and Washington alone suggests it's a bit more than the small band of professional protesters who you refer to.Quote:

Those groups have their place, and their right to be heard. The LGBT section of the White House website has been removed apparentlyQuote:

Very broadly you get as many people out onto the street as you can, you make banners and wave flags and make a lot of noise, you explain to the hundreds of media types in attendance who want an interview what you're gripe is ....... following that and in the hope that you have got the point across and you have galvanised more people to join you next time you go home.Quote:

Yep, but the flip side of democracy is that the elected have to be held accountable for their actions and perceived inactions.Quote:

3 million plus more people decided they actually prefered Clinton to Trump.Quote:

Did you see Hillary's coupon at the inauguration? The lady looked totally shell-shocked.Quote:

That's basic science though, it's statistically inevitable that narrow-minded twats are more equally distributed across the country than normal people.Quote:

Did ukip´s "values" align with those of his traditional Labour supporting family? As you say, it was his choice, but given the context, I am struggling to understand the leap from trad Labour to ukip (not that it matters what I think etc. but I was just curious). I would have thought that not voting was the way to go, rather than endorse a party which is unashamedly racist. :dunno:Quote:

They pretended to be for the ordinary working class who had become disillusioned with Labour which had appeared to have become relevant to the London centric trendy Notting Hill type elite only.Quote:

I can only assume once it becomes clear to they voters that their only purpose was to tear the UK out of the EU which now it has happened will result in swingeing savage cuts coming down the line once the UK has exited that will hit the vulnerable and the poorest the hardest they will return to the real working folks parties.
Glory Glory
Here is someone determined to protest. :greengrin
100% this. At first the UKIP mantra was to attack the EU bloated bureaucracy and waste, some regardless of whether left, centre or right might agree with at least some of what they said if not the way they said it, but there was always suspicions it was a front for more ugly views.Quote:

So everyone that votes Ukip is a twat and a BNP style racist, everyone that voted for Trump is similar so let's just ignore them and what they say and simply dismiss their fears and concerns as the thoughts of narrow minded twats. Yep that will work......look where that got us.
