Proper investigative journo's who risk life and limb to out corruption and injustice and tell the stories of little known heroes are cornerstones of democracy, but these days society would rather just listen to some polished piece of shit who's never left their safe little box spout their comforting opinions. You forgot they spend ther life on twitter thinking that’s the only world ther is while sipping skinny soy lattes eating avocado wheat free sandwiches 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,062 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 There was a time when journo's were second only behind ol bill for corruption and back handers they used to go to serious lengths for their story....90% of their work was their own findings whereas today proper ear to the ground generating news has been replaced by knuckle under type of conformity. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In actual fact their opinion changes f**k all . When they're wasting time with shit thousands of miles away their old neighbour ain't getting proper care or company . Kids down the street living in poverty. No opportunities small villages for employment for young folk, family run shops closing etc. f**k america. if folk really as passionate about making a change put that time into helping your own on your own doorstep. They need to vote for the people thats in power and can change the legislation for them, thats why trumo is doing so well as the silent majority is seeking something to bring theyre nation back to some kind of normal and away from the altered lawless society that its become under liberal rule Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 23,322 Posted October 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 To paraphrase Metternich; "when America sneezes, the world catches a cold" ! Within minutes of the news release that Trump had Covid, stock markets started moving, currencies rose and fell, gold and oil went higher. America is the worlds biggest economy and the only real "super power", so anything that affects America has a knock-on effect for the rest of the world.

Not a single person in the uk can vote trump or biden so rather than waste time talking about how great trump is or how bad hes is. Why not put that effort in to sorting out problems on your door step. The real reason is because it requires real action. Anybody can sit and argue for hours over shitty politics in the usa or goto a 1 hour protest about something happening thousands of miles away and the return to the comfort of their own home and feel they have made a difference and are part of something.. But to help people on their own door step would require proper work and time and effort and maybe even to put their hand into their own pocket. You thinking of running as an independent Rusty???

No that’s true but if trump wins it will make UK American relations much stronger which will help us in trade and our standing in the world, if Biden wins we will be told we are going to the back of the que regarding trade etc and there favours will lean toward the eu over the uk, it’s all a load of old bollacks really but that’s pretty much why it’s important to me, same as European country’s elections will have a big bearing on our future over coming years and it will favour us the more right leaning leaders there are 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
green lurchers 16,621 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) If trump pence win it will save all that blm Antifa shit gaining ground hel mark them as terrorists and will stem the little minority of non taxpaying shit cnts thinking they can start the same bollax over here. The Dems to win votes have passed another high costing reperation inquiry. Which means every lazy ass cnt will vote fir them , trump pence loss will fk us over Pelosi Biden will rewrite the constitution and give the USA over to China aoc and the squad will turn USA into a third world socialist country then we will all get to see China take control , it’s what it set out to do and have spent millions putting left wing politicians in ther pockets Edited October 2, 2020 by green lurchers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,263 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) I think the USA will have a period of looking after itself and will be doing no one any favours, it has plenty of its own problems and more to come with covid and internal strife, the EU is closing ranks and will a lot harder in its dealings with the world, China is on the rise and will continue to seek power and leverage where ever it can at the expense of all and Russia will be stirring the pot to weaken any detractors whilst we're just a little island on the edge with a lot of Shite in the way of national dept, pretty much no trade deals with other nations and a numpty in charge. Will be an interesting time................ Edited October 2, 2020 by sandymere Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Astanley 11,567 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 I am seeing footage of lots of armed groups in America ,an ideological split like never before ,no one any where near power with an ounce of common sense and I think we will see something resembling a civil war before Christmas .
