It's no coincidence that the most prominent Brexiters (Gove, Boris, Farage), all went to the types of public schools with archaic traditions rooted in a sense of a bygone Britain. Their retoric is often peppered with misguided nods at British exceptionalism.

There is no point in overthrowing Corbyn unless you're going to replace him with someone credible. Replacing one inept leader for another is pointless and disruptive and even harder to come back from. -
Also, don't park in the bus lane because it slows down buses.

Quote from the Donald: ?I have spoken as recently as 24 hours ago with people at the highest level of intelligence, and I asked them the question ?Does it work? Does torture work?? And the answer was ?Yes, absolutely,?? So that's reassuring.

If there was an obviously strong alternative leader, then they could win a challenge.

You would have thought that all those scented candles would have calmed everyone down.

Can someone please put Larry in charge.

It's pretty dire, I agree.

As for the 'special relationship' I can't be the only one who cringes when I hear UK politicians talking about it? It's so clearly something that only the UK cares about, it comes across as so needy - "you do like us don't you, we're special aren't we? Aren't we? Say we are..."

I agree it's ridiculous to suggest we shouldn't trade with the US just because we don't like the current president.

...and he doesn't believe in climate change (I believe he's claimed previously that it's a Chinese conspiracy), so you can add that to the 'damaging' pile.

Seeing as it's still week 1 though, there is, I'm sure, plenty more to come.
-
...oh, and just this morning he seems to be saying he's supportive of torturing terrorists. So that further undermines the moral legitimacy of the US should it wish to challenge regimes over their records of human rights abuses.

He's reinstated a ban on any federal funding to NGOs providing information about abortions and instructed his press secretary to report 'alternative facts'. More generally his election legitimises much of his extremely divisive campaign rhetoric and sends out a dangerous message to the world about 'Western' democratic values (although that last bit admittedly, depends on your point of view). I think for day four (?) it's pretty damaging already.

New Shops in Dulwich / Peckham

White stuff is so depressing -
In practice it makes little difference, but the principle is absolutely the right one. It's a shame May wasted so much taxpayer's money fighting a point that was obviously and easily conceded.

You do have to wonder whether the benefit of this outways the negatives. Anyone know what they're actually monitoring? Is it speed, parking or something else?
-
I really don't like segregated cycle lanes and I don't think they're great for changing the idea that roads are for car users.
-
It's out of order for sure. I assume that the engine keeps running to power the camera and probably the heater in this weather. But, it's really not good on a high street to sit their with the engine running.

Beckenham gym staff members abusive behavior to Gambado customers
Earl Aelfheah replied to cacaolat's topic in The Lounge
I thought the same thing - 'roid rage. Sorry your kids had to experience this (you too of course) - the guy sounds like a thug. Whether or not it was clearly signed, it's an honest mistake and for the gymhead to behave like that is completely out of proportion. -
Can we refuse to enter into a trading deal with Trump?

Free movement of people from the US then? -
