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.

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.

Impeachment https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-49814927


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.....

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.

      Resident Doctors

      By ianr · Posted

      This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon

      That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of.  But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6
