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.

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.....

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.

      Bitey Fox.

      By Babbit · Posted

      I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By Enable · Posted

      Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
