It's incredible how unlucky The Donald has been with his friends and allies.
An honourable and honest man like him must be wondering how all this has happened without him knowing.

I haven't been paying a lot of attention over the years, but it's probably quite common for most of a President's associates to be charged with criminal offences. :dunno:

I take it you use the word "partners" loosely?Quote:

Its just the hypocritical bashing of trump that sticks in the craw. The Clintons are vile **** but you won't hear a word against them from HibbyRadge he keeps it all for trump.
Why call out one but not the other?
We are used to it already...the US is Scotland’s biggest international export market.Quote:

True but it's a bit rich slating Trump's associates when the very person you Championed for the US presidency had even worse connections but never mentioned them.Quote:

If and when Indy ref 2 happens then the same forces that have tried to thwart brexit will go and try thwart scottish independence. The people who will complain that the establishment are stopping scottish independence are the same people taking glee now as they watch the same establishment trying to stop Brexit.
Here's a bizarre one, or at least I thought it was. Quite ridiculous really.
My father is coming over from the States next week to bury his last remaining sibling. He's bringing his American wife and a close personal friend who's never been outside America. No visas required for each visitor.
My son is coming over in August from Shanghai, bringing his friend who's never been outside China. His friend needs to have a minimum of £6000 to be allowed to enter the UK, of which will be put in a holding pot until he departs.
Its to deter economic migrants from countries where the average pay is pittance.Quote:

All the Chinese tourists I see in Edinburgh can’t have been asked to front £6k holding deposit for a visitor visa can they?

It is surely no surprise that visa requirements are different for every country?Quote:

Is it that unusual?Quote:

It is also easy to underestimate the size of the population there.
The ones who can afford to visit Scotland are relatively few and are of the highest wealth bracket. THey'd be a comfortably able to put down a £6k deposit on a holiday, whilst a good few families could probably live off that for a few years.
I couldn't believe it when my son told me. They've checked and double checked, that's the deal.Quote:

You spend a lot of time bothering about stuff that hasn’t happened, won’t happen or even if it does happen will not be in the way you envisage.Quote:

To be clear I’m interested in verifiable facts not your conjecture or your rather imaginative beliefs of the horrors that await.
QAnon conspiracy theory. Further proof you are off your chomp mate. :aok:Quote:

Let’s be honest it doesn’t matter who is in charge, we never have to much longer than a decade for the good old “let’s meddle in other countries affairs/ let’s effect regime change on ideological grounds” carry on from the champions of corporate freedom.
I expect it from them but it’s worse when people who are supposed to be speaking on my behalf, such as the UK government or the neoliberal states of Europe back are backing them up like obedient lap dogs. Makes me sick to my stomach.
It's almost as if there is a hidden tier of government that governs over all other governments. But that's just crazy conspiracy pish, right? :greengrinQuote:
