Really? You think he didn't know he'd be found out? The US attack has only had the effect of strengthening Assad in that Russia now say they'll boost Syria's air defences. Just like Saddam or Mugabe or...too many to name, this $%^* won't react in a normal, rational or civilised fashion.

From the play, "The Letter of Last Resort"...


[John] The rational thing for you to do Prime Minister, in all matters of world affairs, is to behave in a wayward and dangerous manner.


[PM] You can?t be serious.


[John] I?m deadly serious. In order to keep the value of a national Nuclear deterrent the rest of the world has to believe that the leadership of that nation is basically ? irrational ? on a knife edge ? ready to go off at any moment ? likely to do berserk things ? they have to look at that nation and believe that its premier is driven by enough psychopathy that they would be willing to see twenty million innocent civilians die for no other reason than sheer revenge.


[PM] Right.


[John] It?s called the ?crazy? strategy.


[PM] The crazy strategy.


[John] It?s a strategy which Israel pioneered. Iran has adopted it. America pursues it quite successfully.

At the week-end my brother suggested to me the following scenario re the attack on the Syrian airbase.


Putin has something on Trump but Trump had to do something to show how strong America is and appear to stand up to Putin. Thus he warned Putin of the impending attack, who in turn warned Assad. This is why the damage to the base seems to have been negligible. Planes were flying out of it the next day.


Soon afterwards Trump's son was declaring that the attack shows that Daddy isn't in league with Putin.


Oh and by the way,Trump has/had shares in the company who makes the tomahawk missiles used in the attack. It's known he had before becoming President. Not known if he sold them. Share price went up after the attack.


It all makes sense doesn't it?

Google Trump and Bayrock corporation for some interesting theories about just what hold Russia has over Trump.

As reported by CNN...

Former campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said that while he believed Comey had "inflicted severe damage" on the FBI, "the timing and manner of this firing suggest that it is the product of Donald Trump feeling the heat on the ongoing Russia investigation and not a well thought out response to the inappropriate handling of the Clinton investigation"

It's feeling like a bad nite at the Karaoke.

An interesting article says that the Donald is exhibiting signs of dementia: 'forgetfulness, volatility, irritability, impulsivity and paranoia; anxiety about stairs, poor concentration and degraded syntax... small vocabulary and fragmented sentences.'


The writer says that in 1998, the Don was on Oprah Winfrey and he was 'lucid, coherent - almost articulate.'

      I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience

      Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
