President Donald Trump is planning an executive order to make English the official language of the United States.

Inshallah! As they say in the UK!
Amazon had sales income of €44bn in Europe in 2020 but paid no corporation tax
This article is more than 3 years old
Despite lockdown surge the firm’s Luxembourg unit made a €1.2bn loss and therefore paid zero corporation tax
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/may/04/amazon-sales-income-europe-corporation-tax-luxembourg
The Luxembourg unit – which handles sales for the UK, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Sweden – employs just 5,262 staff meaning that the income per employ amounts to €8.4m.
Margaret Hodge, a Labour MP who has long campaigned against tax avoidance, said: “It seems that Amazon’s relentless campaign of appalling tax avoidance continues.
………..
“The Luxembourg Armed Forces, or Lëtzebuerger Arméi, has around 900 professional soldiers and 200 civilian staff. This makes it one of the smallest armies in NATO and the European Union. “
I simply don’t know if the assertions here stand up, but, it sounds about right ?

Wonderful Thread about Bojo, good article. See my reply to Deborah further back on this Thread.
Elon Musk: “Almost all the media is left shifted. If you talk to somebody who gets all their information from legacy media, they are living in a different world” “They are living in an alternate reality”: https://x.com/i/status/1895583700160823639
I’d question that they live in reality at all.
Why Trump still wants to meet our woke lefty muslim ‘king’ is beyond me.
Looks like the end of NATO . TTK hugging the Eastern European guy – and then he’s meeting the UK head of state on Sunday –
I think President Trump will just think – ‘Europe is more trouble than it’s worth ‘ – leave it to Putin to take the bits he wants unless it defends itself – which it never will ….
Adios State Visit ..
BTW these few days feel the most dangerous yet …. Putin must be working really hard on ways to capitalise on it …..
I’m old enough to remember the Cuban crisis in 1962 – no Internet only the papers and the tv. Many spoke of the 4 minute warning we were told could happen, so it was a very twitchy time. Is this time as bad as then ? I don’t feel it is.
It’s not really, Brissles, as TTK will just hand out cash and offers of our army, RNLI etc, to anyone getting here today, (Sunday).
The BBBC will slaver over everything he touches, telling the very few people who bother to listen or watch their stuff that we have a ‘statesman’ in our midst!
As Fed says, President Trump will just ignore the whole shebang, and get down to making his own country a better place, which is something the dreadful labour bunch is failing to do – miserably!
The closenes of the term ‘Bay of Pigs’, applies only to the sorry lot we have to endure in the HoC!
‘The BBC is to investigate claims that a Hamas official’s daughter who appeared to celebrate the Oct 7 attacks was paid during the making of its controversial Gaza documentary.
On the day of the atrocity, Safia al-Yazouri wrote on Facebook: “Amen O Lord,” along with an emoji of hands clasped in thanks and a green heart.
She is believed to be the daughter of Ayman Al-Yazouri, a deputy agriculture minister in Gaza’s Hamas government, and the sister of Abdullah, pictured above, who narrated Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone.
The BBC has admitted that Hoyo Films, the independent production company that made the documentary, had paid the boy’s mother “via his sister’s bank account” for his narrating services.’
DT Editor Newsletter today….
So that big fact DENIAL of the BBC just gets worse. Lisa Nandy (Culture Minister) must know this is illegal and the fact that the BBC is INVESTIGATING itself (BBC VERIFY) – again- is beyond belief. The BBC Balen report was about the anti Israel bias was endemic throughtout the BBC (BBC investigation) and was so shocking it was never published…

I wonder how Europe would operate without the US input into NATO ? The withdrawal of all those bases ? Limited sales of military equipment ?
It’s almost impossible to contemplate . But Europe has been so reliant on the US for defence that it thinks it can disrespect the US in favour of corrupt Ukraine …
I know im playing ‘armchair politician ‘ but this isn’t an academic discussion because it will be used to tax thevarse off of us – almost immediately – all those promises starmer / Rachel made will be readily disregarded .
I am deeply pro the US and President Trump . . Ukraine isn’t worth the body of one British soldier …
It’s a moot point.
The likes of Starmer, Macron, and Von Leyden are about to be thrust into the cold, hard light of day. They won’t like it but they’ll soon find themselves putting pressure on Ukraine (whether led by Zelenskyy or not) to take Trump’s deal and thereafter reach terms with Putin.
Fedup2 ,
Sadly there’s probably a few ‘ advisers ‘ there that have been killed 😔
Yes Charlie – and some British volunteers who went and didn’t come back alive …
Trump SLAMS Starmer For LYING About Free Speech In UK
If true…..
Two chances for peace in Ukraine and Obama has sabotaged both of them. Once using Boris and now this if it is true.
The big question is though : what did Obama say to Zelensky to make him do such a thing ?. It makes me think there are some big secrets behind the scenes here. Maybe he told him Trump won’t be around for long …
???
It makes no sense.
‘The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen.’
The Democrats have in recent years regarded the Logan Act as one of those “it’s OK when we do it” sort of things…
Does Labour sending fifty lefties over to the US to help the Democrats in their presidential election count as well?
President Trump will never forget that!
Jeremy Bowen: Trump-Zelensky row signals looming crisis between Europe and US
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2d4e395jxeo
Mad dog Bowen is back – and just look what he wrote and the BBC have published:
‘President Trump had already called him a dictator and said Ukraine started the war – which is a lie.’
It’s not even the news. It’s Bowen simply rehashing an old story. And where is HIS evidence that it is a lie ?.
And once again the fat far-Left oaf is telling us conclusions based on mysterious ‘sources’:
‘There are suspicions now that the public row was – in the words of one diplomatic observer – a planned political mugging’
WTF is a ‘diplomatic observer’ Bowen ?.
And then he writes:
‘He has put heavy pressure on Ukraine while offering Putin big concessions – that would have to be made by the Ukrainians.’
‘The security of Ukraine is coming a poor second – and Europeans are worrying theirs is too.’
What is the alternative Bowen ?. Ukraine are losing ground and men by the day.
I notice how none of these people have any suggestions whatsoever about ending the war. Perhaps Bowen should be writing about the result of the ‘Peace in Ukraine’ summit where they came up with absolutely nothing. I’m certain the whole point of that meeting was to work out how they could get a piece of the actions if Trump did indeed make a deal.
What a farce.
“Trump-Zelensky row signals looming crisis”
sounds like war mongering.
They do like a good war, as long as it doesn’t involve muslims, then it’s demands for cease fire when they are getting the sh’t kicked out of them in response to hostage taking of girls and babies, rape and torture.
‘Trump and Vance were so rude’: Ukrainians react to disastrous White House meeting
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgr2g4n4wvdo
Goodness me – what an absolutely pathetic propaganda article by the BBC. Even by their standards.
They’ve done their usual trick of interviewing people then carefully rewriting what they say whilst intertwining it with emotion.
‘”It was an emotional conversation, but I understand our president,” Yulia tells me next to Kyiv’s golden-domed St Sofia’s cathedral.’
This rubbish would not be out of place in a WW2 newsreel. You can always tell when the BBC have an agenda but no argument : they fall back on imagery and empathy.
‘As sirens wail and missiles slam into cities, this is a war still raging, despite all of the talk of ending it.’
And there is the biggest lie of all. There is no talk of ending it whatsoever except from Trump. Everyone else is trying to sabotage his efforts. I’m still somwhat in awe of how the fact Boris sabotaged an agreement in the early days was kept so secret from us. It shows the extent of the lies around this war.
Sitting in a cubicle at the bbc, demanding Israel stops defending itself, stops asking for their women and children hostages to be returned to their families, demanding Ukraine sends more guns and bombs
Who’s the oppressor
The welcome to no 10 was over the top to make trump look bad I am afraid our pm and the king are making things worse and Reevs loan against russian assets is a very dangerous game to play ,remember they can do the same to us with UK assets in Russia ,for all the grovelling in the white house trump behind the scenes is not stupid he can see that our people are playing him .Fools
Starmer gives Zelensky ‘full backing’ in warm No 10 welcome
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg4k137ezlgo
I was just speed-reading this BBC propaganda and some more unusual wording caught my eye – because what it was telling me was a lie:
‘as it adapts to the Trump administration’s desire to be less involved in European defence’
I have NEVER heard Trump say that they want to pull out of NATO. All he has said is that Europe should pay it’s fair share.
Then I realised they are very carefully chosen words. By ‘less involved’, the BBC’s ‘Tom McArthur’ means contributing less money. But not being less involved in NATO operations. This weasel has chosen them words to make it sound like the USA are pulling out and thus pushing the agenda for the EU to arm itself in it’s goal to be the worlds No.1 superpower.
You will not be surprised in any way that Tom also lists his experience as:
‘As seen in: BBC, Medium, Yahoo Entertainment, Yahoo Life, MSN (US), MSN Ireland, MSN Singapore, MSN South Africa, MSN UK, Terra, The Daily Mirror ‘
Every one at the BBC I checked recently has a similar list of the most Left news sites.
More clear proof of their institutional left-wing bias.
Murder, theft, sexual assault, rape, drug dealing oh theres a muslim what a co incidence
Just specifically mentioning that a murderer or rapist is a Muslim can get you arrested through hate speech as ‘likely to incite racial hatred’.
That’s how far we have fallen under the cancer of the fascist Left.
Correct, which is why I did not make the connection, others might, that’s their choice.

ALL LEADERS TO SPEND TWO WEEKS ON THE UKRAINE FRONT LINE ….. with wives in the cook tents!
Katie Hopkins making sense of the billionaire comedian fiasco.
As she says, people such as the BBC who have completely bought in to the ‘Saving Democracy’ lies and absolute nonsense spouted by Zelensky cannot simply do an about-turn without looking utterly stupid. So they keep pushing it.
I’m still absolutely perplexed at how they can say they won’t back any ceasefire which gives anything at all to Russia and so are willing to let thousands more Ukranians die while Russia keep taking more territory. It makes no sense which is why it must be a cynical, deliberate plan to sacrifice Ukrainian lives as part of a bigger agenda. And the EU wanting to be the worlds No.1 superpower might just be it.
Hardly a surprise given the calibre of players involved, but making sense of this is proving an exercise in futility.
It is pretty clear that as a small country, the U.K. has punched above its weight, and that in no small part was through national will. But some key aspects that once existed have gone. Respect for authority. National Pride. Belief in treasured institutions. Demographic coherence. Small c conservative values. Now this green and pleasant land is a segmented, fractured society, with a deranged political class relying on a demented media estate and corrupted public services bloc to hold things together as an eroding majority of hard working, decent folk see the minority get away with multiple colours of murder, often not just figuratively.
What has tangibly been achieved in the last 48 hours since the debacle in the Oval Office, notwithstanding who was dumber than a box of rocks drunk on their own press entourage adoration, or who was ‘undiplomatic’ dealing with them trying to exploit things in ways that worked before with likeminded simpletons?
Words are cheap, so a queue of tv studio frequent flyers, political or media, solemnly intoning ‘leadership’, ‘true statesman’ is laughable.
World War Z has his war still. Plus a few more billion to fight it an extra week.
Once he runs out of local meat grinder fare, he has a dubious commitment from such as Ursula, Macron, TTK, that German Skull, to send their half dozen combatants, leading from a bunker tv studio advised by JezBo.
He has a photo op described as a diplomatic coup with a despised, clueless monarch best known for a desire to be his wife’s sanity product.
Mad Al, Rory, JO’bsworth, Wright, Sopes, Strumpet, Larry etc are in their element… apoplectic with glee that the hated Trump has been dissed.
That’s US President Trump, of the lion’s share of NATO, a long way away across the Atlantic.
The WW2 analogies are as fatuous as they are shrill. And ignore massive Tsar Bomba military realities beyond the more nuanced cluster FUBAR meddling by previous admins that came before.
So the U.K. media got their perceived TDS moment. TTK got his glowing photo ops and headlines. Chas III got wheeled out to destroy all his Mum’s great work. The U.K. public got Rachel from Accounts signing off another diversion of non existent funds. Everyone got a hug.
And the US public look on as the propaganda pantomime plays out in the msm, including their own 5th column, and garner info and share opinion on X, which is speech that’s still free but all above want to curtail.
Not big on cutting off noses to spite faces, so as our ‘elite’ share that ditch with JezBo, it might be the TDS rush initially will feel less worth it.

One of the largest Norwegian oil and shipping companies has announced that they will cut off all supply refuelling US Navy vessels in solidarity with Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky after a clash with US President Donald Trump.

The statement read, “We have today been witnesses to the biggest shitshow ever presented “live on tv” by the current American president and his vice president. Huge credit to the president of Ukraine restraining himself and for keeping calm even though USA put on a backstabbing tv show. It made us sick. Short and sweet. As a result, we have decided to immediate STOP as fuel provider to American forces in Norway and their ships calling Norwegian ports.”
They company also stated, “We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”

The pillars of Islam state that all Muslims with the means must undertake Hajj, a pilgrimage to Mecca, once in their lifetime. Those who visit the holy city are rewarded not just by proximity to landmarks and religious sites crucial to the religion, such as the Masjid Al Haram (Holy Mosque), the Mountain of Light, the Black Stone and the Well of Zamzam, but with the forgiveness of all their sins.”

China has repeatedly denied allegations that it supplies Russia with weapons.
In an interview with BBC News, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said: “What’s not happening is the provision of actual arms by China to Russia for use in Ukraine.”
However, China has been accused of building up Moscow’s war machine by providing critical components.
Mr Blinken said: “Those are being used to help Russia on what’s an extraordinary crash course effort to make more munitions, tanks, armoured vehicles, missiles.”
About 70% of the machine tools and 90% of the microelectronics Russia imports come from China, he added.”

“Gen Z aren’t proud to be British, wouldn’t go to war for our country and they think the UK is ‘racist'” By TARYN PEDLER

Vance took the lead attacking Zelensky. Why?
Out of context editorial lying. Why?
Let’s talk about Moderate then
They say of New York “So Good They Named It Twice”
And there’s a familiar idiom that insists if the point you’re making is important enough that it is not unreasonable to say it twice. “It bears repeating”
And so it is that the gynaeceum that is BBC news staff pick the Labour-supporting Sunday People – AND the Labour-supporting Sunday Mirror to top their online print press line-up. And to make their point.
A sort of double whammy two-hander tag team smack-down – you know, like Trump and Vance performed on Zelensky.
Hug of hope… You’ve got our backing… Keir welcomes Zelensky after White House bust-up… Waves and smiles (Sunday People)
Starmer welcomes Zelensky… We’ve got your back… PM offers full support after White House row… Embrace… Starmer hugs the Ukraine president in Downing Street (Sunday Mirror)
Sunday Mirror and Sunday People to share most content… newspapers look set to begin sharing most of their content under new cost-saving plans at Reach. Staff were told on Wednesday that the two Sunday tabloids would begin to share everything except the splash and pages four and five, Press Gazette understands. – one has to assume BBC news staff are aware of this old news.
The British love-bombing campaign of Zelensky is not confined to the Tweedle Dee Tweedle Dum of socialist red tops, however.
The ever-excitable Sunday Mail chimes in: Now stop the state visit for ‘bully’ Trump
All this love for Zelensky, eh?
I’m oddly reminded of that old catchphrase of the TV comic Brian Conley: The live studio audience would often sympathise with the puppets that Brian used – leading to Brian’s best catchphrase: “IT’S A PUPPET!” which he would shout in defence of mistreating the puppets to highlight the fact no one was actually being harmed. (Thank you to that Mirror celebrity article, dated 2017, for making my point about Zelensky for me)
By the way, watching the longer version of this celebrated Oval Office smack down one couldn’t help but notice Zelensky doing a lot of sniffing. Judging by the sheer quantity of the fact-checks, disiniformation alerts and fake news warnings about his alleged cocaine use being promoted online (he was in showbiz afterall) – I’m guessing there’s likely some ‘substance’ to the story. Remember folks, it’s not a conspiracy theory, if it’s true.
And what has all this got to with me and with the price of eggs, I here you ask?
Reeves unlocks billions for Kyiv and UK defence… multibillion pound funding package (Sunday Times)
Rail fares rise by 4.6% in England and Wale sand the price of most railcards has risen by £5… The government says fares need to rise so it can invest in the rail system (BBC)
Your Mr AsI likes to look beyond the big headline stories so as to highlight hereabouts one or two of what one tends to term those little State of the Nation items.
WH Smith to vanish from towns… staple of British high street since 1792 (Sunday Times)
There was indeed a WH Smith on the local high street when Mr AsI was a lad – but one recalls the closer corner shop newsagents/tobacconist/sweetshop… It was once named Martin’s – which I believe was one of a chain, then Riseley’s after the family who took it on. After they retired to who know’s where we knew it as Abdullas’
Our mate Matt in the Telegraph may have phoned his work in early this weekend as he misses the big Trump story and instead lampoons our Net Zero Greenies by sketching that old cartoonist trope of two bed-sheeted ghosts in their haunted mansion: “There’s a eerie cold spot here. I feel the presence of a heat pump”
Newman in the Times is a creature of the regime – and not particluarly funny at that. Not for the Times in-house cartoonist are comic themes of subversion or of counter-cultural comment. He draws a leaping with joy King Charles in front of a TV screen reporting “WORLD WAR 3” and commenting: Hooray! The world will end before the Trump visit!”
And there you have it ladies and gents – our regime are more than happy to contemplate World War 3 rather than get over their Trump Derangement Syndrome
And finally, how’s that feminism workin’ out fo’ yer?
Boys lose out in gender pay gap… young men’s wages have fallen consistently behind women’s… according to a hard hitting report that warns of a “crisis” facing males under 24 (Times)
We had a funny-ironic line when I was a lad. “Do you want a new pair of boots…? Join the army!”
I suspect starmer has picked the wrong fight, Greater Manchester police, also known as Rayner not gulity, and whinging to appeal judges will not help.

erm…. what exactly is that?
The phrase “if you believe in nothing you will end up being anything” essentially means that without a strong set of values or beliefs to guide you, you are susceptible to being easily swayed by any idea or influence, potentially leading to a lack of personal direction or identity; it’s often attributed to G.K Chesterton, who is known for saying that when people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing, they become capable of believing in anything.

“US President Joe Biden mistakenly referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin” while speaking to reporters about Nato’s support for Ukraine. He later corrected himself, before Zelensky took the microphone.
“President Putin?” Biden said, correcting himself. “President Zelensky. I’m so focused on beating Putin.””

The same people who called for a ceasefire in Gaza before a deal with HAMAS.. .

“It’s time for cool heads and to remember that the US and Ukraine are on the same side.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has led his people heroically for three years against completely unprovoked aggression from Russia.
The bravery of the Ukrainians has been amazing. Their suffering has been appalling.
It is they who deserve our support and they who frankly deserve our respect.

Maybe Hunter Biden can help Trump out ….”Interviews with more than a dozen people, including executives and former prosecutors in Ukraine, paint a picture of a director who provided advice on legal issues, corporate finance and strategy during a five-year term on the board, which ended in April of this year.
Biden never visited Ukraine for company business during that time, according to three of the people.
They also said that his presence on the board didn’t protect the company from its most serious challenge: a series of criminal investigations launched by Ukrainian authorities against its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, a multimillionaire former minister of ecology and natural resources. The allegations concern tax violations, money-laundering and licences given to Burisma during the period where Zlochevsky was a minister.”

The BBC reports that there are ‘Pro-Ukraine protests across the US’ ( that’s ‘across’ as in ‘a handful’). Helpfully, they have a photograph to show some of the protestors (check it quickly, they’ll soon be changing it after this post). One of the signs reads ‘Welcome immigrants, deport billionaires’, which is kind of ironic in that many such protesting organisations are actually funded by billionaires…. Also notice that one protestor is holding a trans pride flag – yep, that’s what they want US and UK troops to be spilling their blood for in Ukraine.
Quite remarkable (not) how these sort of people all support the exact same things: War in Ukraine, Net Zero, Mass migration, censorship, trans stuff… What you might call the Five Pillars of Liberal Faith. Or as Comrade Lenin might have said: “Useful idiots”.

Thomas-Symonds: Dodds Wrong to Quit, UK Will Still Spend £9 Billion on International Aid
https://order-order.com/2025/03/02/thomas-symonds-dodds-wrong-to-quit-uk-will-still-spend-9-billion-on-international-aid/#comments
“Chinese official aid – unlike most major nation-state sources of aid – is not regulated and measured under the OECD’s protocols for official development assistance (ODA). According to OECD estimates, 2020 official development assistance from China increased to US$4.8 billion.[1] In this respect, the program is similar in monetary size to those of Norway and Canada. China, however, provides a larger amount of development finance in the form of less-concessional loans.[2] The Chinese government represents its aid as characterised by a framework of South-South cooperation and “not interfering in the internal affairs of the recipient countries”.[3]”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_foreign_aid
An American social enterprise, Devex reported in 2013 that India has spent US$1 billion on foreign aid in 2012–13. Since 2009, the foreign aid had increased around 3.2 times annually.[4] In 2017, the government declared that India had been a net donor in 2015–16.[5] In the Indian Government budget of year 2019-2020 USD 1.32 billion (INR 8415 crore) were allocated (0.3% of the overall budget) for India’s foreign aid programme . Indian aid receiving countries are Bhutan, Nepal, Afghanistan, Mauritius, Seychelles, Maldives, African nations, Caribbean nations and a few Eastern European nations. Over the years India has funded several infrastructure, development and other projects in many countries worth billions of USD.

A growing amount of UK aid has been spent on UK-based refugees, with spending increasing from £410 million in 2016 to £4,273 million in 2023 (rising from 3.2% of the aid budget to 28%). The Home Office was responsible for £2,936 million of this aid spending in 2023. Most support for refugees went towards providing food and shelter.

Sunday afternoon …
Comrade TTK tries to play the ‘international statement with all the lefties turning up to make promises they won’t keep about Ukraine …
They’ll be outbidding each other with meaningless promises .
And then in a few days time Zelenski will say they are running out of kit and ammunition abd blame President trump . The Europeans will go quiet because they don’t want to pay . Starmer will go quiet because we’ve already run out of a lot of stuff …
The swamp will blame President Trump for every thing that happens in Ukraine / Europe ….
Britain’s army would run out of munitions just 10 days into a war, ex-defence minister tells Parliament
Defence minister James Heappey responded that the UK’s armed forces ‘remain fearsome’
just 10 days … ‘remain fearsome’
just 10 days … ‘remain fearsome’
just 10 days … ‘remain fearsome’

It would be somewhat embarrassing to the ‘Little Men and Wimmin’ of the EU and UK if, having backed him, Zelensky is deposed in a coup in the coming weeks. The question is then whether he flees the country with his wealth (well, he’s already shipped out most of it) like Ashraf Ghani, or ends up like Saddam Hussein or Muammar Gaddafi.
Ouch !!
“The Art of The Deal”. Who saw that one coming?
In which chapter can I find a passage relating to this scenario:
“…….NORWAY TURNS AWAY US SUBMARINE”
“One of Norway’s biggest fuel suppliers, Haltbakk Bunkers, has reportedly stopped refuelling US Navy ships.”
Who is next?
“‘Not a litre of fuel until Trump is finished” surely this is bad for Ukraine?
I think the ‘Norway refuses to refuel US submarine ‘ was pretty crude Russian lies – or just lies … the propaganda to divide NATO has got to be a lot better than that – maybe that’s what comrade Zelenski is doing ….
Brit awards
On ITv . Dont know what they are – but on X the compare asks a profession east end geezer called ‘daniel dyer’ who is the biggest ‘ bell end ‘ in 2025 .
I think they expected him to say ‘trump ‘ but he said ‘starmer ’ – ‘a slag’ .. to which the response was ‘ and now we ll take a break ‘ – panic …,
To defame the great leader must surely warrant he and hls family a one way trip to the gulag in the name of community safety …?

If I was Trump I would get out of the mess that is currently the European NATO Countries.
I would let them sort out Ukraine and Russia.
It would mean the whole of Ukraine falling to Russia of course.
Once they (us that is) realise they are led by a hopeless bunch of squabbling ego driven gobshites (except Meloni and Orban) maybe a sense of realism might dawn on them although they might need millions to die first.
If they then see that they need the USA, Trump should require a definite 5% defence spend before allowing a Country to be part of the new American type of NATO.
I think that might wake up our useless gang of leaders.
I don’t believe that even a grenade up the arse would wake them up.
There are those who would pay good money for that priviledge, , “Have I got news for you” top of the queue.
Inappropriate whigs, ermine and red dresses next.

Seeing all these leaders arriving and being greeted by TTK I keep hearing some wally shouting from across the road “How will you keep world peace Mr Trudeau” or some other daft question.
In all recorded history, has a world leader ever stopped shaking hands during the greeting, walked over to the group of shouting reporters and said “About your question, Well, my answer for you is …..)
Are they embarrassing themselves or do they think they are being clever.
EG
Later on Sunday we have the prospect of a billionaire called Charles Windsor having his picture taken with a corrupt Eastern European coke addict … oh the embarrassment ….
Once upon a time royal advisors would sniff a bad idea and stop such a spectacle from happening …. I think President Trump might find that he has a ‘diary clash ‘ to avoid spending time with the Windsor Gang …
