Donald Trump announces plans to hit the UK, Denmark and other European countries with a 10% tariff on “all or any goods” exported to the US from 1 February

    How’s that policy of appeasement and boot-licking going now, Kier?

      I am still shocked that the party in power is not some ultra conservative one with the way that government administration is operating in the UK.

        Well short of a coup or government collapse/dissolution, we’ve got to wait for an election.

        We’ve got to hope Polanski and Sultana have got their feet underneath them by then.

          As an outsider, am I crazy for thinking the leaders of the smaller more “extreme” parties like Sinn Féin or the SNP keep sounding more reasonable?
