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.'

      Albrighton Community Fridge, Dog Kennel Hill

      By AylwardS · Posted

      Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.

      Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !

      That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
