Strangely the Arab Spring and the China Property bubble and US data quality issues cost 600 billion - it's a standard figure people use I think :) .. and UK public sector pension liabilities 600 billion - what coinicidence
  2. Trump has hung up on the Aussie PM :)

But schools still do 'morality' type classes (you know where you role play victim and bully etc.) It used to be RE with us (as RE was compulsory but we did the God bit in 3 weeks)

I thought attitudes had improved - but maybe it's just me getting older. When I was young you got in a fight just for accidentally looking at someone.

That (I know he won't always wear it) He has a distinctive nose/eyebrows look about him too IMHO - although without the jacket who knows
  8. Chicago Tribune has this http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-trump-refugee-policy-fact-check-2011-20170129-story.html and http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/01/30/sorry-mr-president-the-obama-administration-did-nothing-similar-to-your-immigration-ban/ No doubt Trump would say lying fake news :) and you would find papers with the opposing view

  10. Brexit Express has got it. Looks like he said it. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/761018/Guy-Verhofstadt-Newsnight-600-billion-Brexit-bill-EU-exit How much is that each ?

Call it a draw and > ignore both would be my choice. Ignore both but May really needs good advise here or it could blow up in her face. Impeachment is not out of the question - probably due to his business interests.
  12. Admin has asked for no more threads. But Trump is the worlds most talked about person currently. I'm not surprised and I bet similar is happening elsewhere. Anyway pub on Chancery Lane at lunchtime today "Unlike Trump. We welcome everybody."
  13. Impeachment a real possibility at the moment. But he'll just become even more obstinate. Somebody yesterday said he'd pass on the Presidency to his son :)
  14. Replace trump with a turd - everyone will understand. Surprised Twitter hasn't done so :)
  15. This guy stood out like a sore thumb to be honest.
  16. East Dulwich Road closed, digging at Goose Green and issues at Herne Hill too (got the feeling on the 37 bus they were linked) It's worse than just a small leak.

Was it me or did someone say they didn't hold hands, but Trump suffers from some disease whereby when he walks down ramps or stairs he feels dizzy, so he grabbed the Prime Ministerial hand to steady himself.
  18. When the government talks about 'will of the people' it's encouraging government by referendum and petition. That isn't how government works in the UK IMHO.

Maybe retailers are putting prices up when wholesale price rises and just take more profits when it falls.

Look what discord Trump has sown on this forum. I'd ban him even if he moved into ED.
  21. Too much Libtard on the net these days I'll go Trumptard

  23. Also no torture ... as long as Mad Dog Mattis doesn't fancy it.
  24. She made sure he said he was pro NATO A few million in Estonia, Latvia etc. sighed with relief. Give her that.
