I think it was Mitch McConnell, leader of the senate Republicans.

He (said he) voted not guilty because he thinks Trump shouldn?t have been impeached in the first place.



Keano: ?Perhaps Nancy and her gang should now consider resigning??

Like you do when you?ve set-up a trial that found Trump 57-Guilty and 43-Not Guilty of inciting insurrection.

The record stands, Trump is Guilty.

Just the 2/3 required majority, which was not met, means he?s acquitted.

Republicans scared to vote against Trump, immediately after the vote Don Jr announces we?re coming to get those 7 senators. Demonstrating the fear being justified. Disgusting.

Perhaps this isn't the thread for it...but this whole sorry affair highlights extreme partisan nature of US politics (echoed in the UK of course along both party and brexit lines more recently)...does the Republican party have a future in its current form? Which also raises the question on the democrats as well...which also raises the broader question of party politics in places like the UK, where both major parties are plagued by factionalism within their respective parties.


It's seems in our modern world, when narrow interest groups (at all ends of the political spectrum) often make the most noise, there is little room for 'moderates' with broad appeal when it comes to almost any issue....


(As I say, perhaps off topic a bit, but I can't be bothered starting a new thread right now!)

All valid and pertinent points, Cat.

Interesting how some Rep senators, pre-election, repeatedly branded the Dems ?far left, extreme left, left wing radicals?. When actually the Dems are Right wing, if anything.

They just are not extreme like some of the Rep senators.

It?d take some doing to be further right than the Reps now !

Or maybe she'll just avoid his hand when he tries to hold it as she usually does.


I suspect this will come back to bite the republicans at some stage.

No just the whole thing of allowing Trump to get a way with it.


I still think she'll stay with him ... even if she's unhappy (and she must be how could anyone be happy living with him). which is sad.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
