Just cos trump says it, doesn?t mean it?s not true


There are definite similarities


Fabrication of ?facts? to prove points

Denial of their past statements even in the face of evidence

Scaremongering over immigration

Promises to make their countries the best in the world ever (or words to that effect)

Making promises they can?t deliver

Putting their individual profiles ahead of everything else


You ok with all that?

Most of those could be applied to many politicians.


Who said I was OK with any of them? I didn't. I don't support Johnson.


It's just to say Johnson is the British Trump is left wing knicker wetting of the highest degree.....huge swathes of left wing twitter now think we now have a fascist government... it's adolescent, fantasy stuff.

".. to say Johnson is the British Trump is left wing knicker wetting of the highest degree.."


I'm not particulaly left wing and would compare Trump to Johnson in many respects quire easily (how could one NOT draw parralels ?!).


Being able to identify two peas in a pod is not a skill particular to left wingers.

Ok. if we're looking for weak links. Equally as well


- strong use of identity politics

- constant reference to the 'elites' and breaking the 'system' (Draining the swamp in trump speak)

- constant attacks on, reluctance to engage with, and complaining about bias of 'MSM'

- populism


could be Jeremy Corbyn

Completely agree. It's extremely worrying.

What other prime ministers or presidents are you thinking of?

That?s a lot of exaggeration for someone accusing others of getting over excited!

Trumpism is catching on down under


Australian deputy PM : ?I also get a little bit annoyed when we have people in those sorts of countries pointing the finger at Australia and say we should be shutting down all our resources sector so that, you know, they will continue to survive,?


He then went on that they will survive due to Australian fruit.

I don't believe this will bring Trump down and fear the predictions that it will strengthen his fab base are correct .


But then I didn't believe that Johnson's prorogation would be found illegal.....

Yes it appears the Supreme Court can read minds...

Ahh the Trump thread. being 7pts odd behind and needing to pull back in the swing states Trump is coming out with more and more dirty stuff - but some people seem to like that. I think we can expect it to get as dirty as a 1970s Wales-England rugby international.


They played on loop a video of Nancy Pelsosi going to the hairdresser this morning.

    • Well that is good news… alternative would have been homeless or private.
    • I was lucky that I received a student grant from 1990-1995 first 3 years for degree and 2 years post graduate bursary. Both were based on my income and I did not have to pay back. Eldest daughter got student loan and after 20 years managed to pay it off, Youngest daughter still paying hers 18 years later. Granddaughter - still paying after 6 years. Grandson decided against FE and secured an apprentenship. I am glad that I am an old codger and not young anymore !

    • It is not only Southwark - our grandson, partner and 7 year old had a one bed council flat for years in Harlow Essex and all the properties offered were in poor condition. They eventually took a property as if they refused another one they would drop to the bottom of the Housing List. It was damp and in need of a level of renovation. Having lived in these conditions for a while they were offered better council accommodation recently, but further away from child's school. They had to pay 2 lots of rent for a few weeks as council had to undertake work in the new premises before they could move in,
