Jules-and-Boo

Divide and Conquer - springs to mind. If we let this become separationalism within or of society, we're letting the politicians win - and we know better than that. I would suggest teaching tolerance at home to your children, seeing if you can influence the community positively. Breathe in hate - breathe out tolerance. Otherwise, we all lose.

apparently they pay their 'contestants (what's the proper word????) in kentucky fried chicken. I know this because someone on the forum told me someone she knows....... well, I believed her....

Jaywalker - I can't believe you brought sport into politics! ;-)

go ahead POUS-T.W.C. alternatives with a positive tone. I agree with Malumbu - definite parallels to the UK where industry has left shadows and areas with low/ little investment.

Malumbu - thanks for that! Really interesting; I particularly liked the phrase "Rural left-behinds" Cutting to say the least. Stinging. If not downright nasty. Assumed definition: "a section of society that no-one wants or gives a toss about, who don't fit in with the glamour and glitz of the First World".

They're saying you shouldn't shop in places that use their revenue to buy advertising space in publications that are headlining immigration. consumer buying power is real power and we as consumers can make world changing impacts by putting money into ethical corporations. It's a very valid point to get across..... but they're being very specific in who they are targeting - I think it's misdirected.

No, I was actually referring to the requests to have a re-referendum. Protesting against an outcome is of course expected. To try and divert a democratic outcome because it's not what you want - is not. The protests about Trump are of course expected. It will take a while to settle down. Clinton is not the first to win the most votes in number but lose overall. The first 100 days will be riveting.

sorry - don't get it. Are StopFundingHate targeting companies that advertise in newspapers that have headlines that they think are not fact? Oh. seems a bit tenuous. Are they targeting the actual publications?

there is one college with 8 eligible voters - which is a good explanation of why numbers in itself does not win.

there were more than two candidates... and a vote for a third would have won it - if ALL non voters had voted the third option

No one's saying they are. What the issue is - with non acceptance of democracy - is trying to have the vote re-worked so it can alter the outcome. That is outside the democratic process.

no, I'd agree with DF..... The voters who didn't get the result they wanted are not accepting of it. That's pretty factual, Sue

??? An aging white population, voting for the days gone by? Get a grip.

Hilary has a record of inciting war and devastating the middle east - and she can't distance herself. She's a dangerous woman and while Trump is a shock, I'm relived it's not Hilary. I do fear for America's people being allowed to become more racist, more homophobic, antagonizing the Chinese (is that a bad thing?), The WALL!!!!!! (what the hell is that all about and HOW?) and general more - up their own asses - and possibly forgetting there is a 'rest of the world' at street level. Brexit - Obama threatened to punish UK by sending us to the back of the queue in terms of trade deals - that's completely changed and the Republican victory has probably de-stabilised the EU even further. Watch the other countries vote for the leader who will exit. Interesting times. Short term/ long term are very different views.

china

no, I mean it's awful as it suggests the driver was to blame/ negligent. Ergo could it have been avoided?

they arrested the driver. it's awful.

it shows people are disontented and willing to take a chance on the unknown than stay with what they know - and isn't working. Expect the same across Europe.

Agree - asking for help is fine. Stop giving the man a hard time about it.

look up your phone model on the internet. There will most likely be a you tube video showing you how to reset it.

I fractured ribs and couldn't bend my body; the pain was unbearable. Don't remember it actually lasting very long. Couple of days before it became bearable. Which I spent laying down, mainly. Of course, you have to spend some time doing nothing and letting the bruising heal. No lifting, yoga classes etc Try arnica cream - speeds it up.

Hilary's also pro war - particularly pro "Sell arms to Israel and destroy Iran" She's got a damning history - she just evades responsibility for it. Trump - future is uncertain, but Russia doesn't hate him as much as Hilary

I do that with my name - it's on auto correct now

May's appeal is scheduled for 7th Dec.

In fact - your attitude sucks. It's disgusting, disrespectful and reminds me of someone who wants something for nothing.
