Maybe we could pull Trumps World Wide Web and he'll assume it's gone for everybody.

I'll have a word with Tim Berners-Lee

[LondonMix]

I got that, I was just agreeing with you!

Gates isn't able to, but the US Government certainly could, since they still control ICANN and so, amongst other things, IP addresses each and every one of the root nameservers. So, in the unlikely event he did get elected president...

I love how his mind works...."I'll talk to the computer guy about shutting down the interwebs". Superb.

[LondonMix]

He's also recently claimed (in the last 24 hours or so) in defense of his statements that London is so radicalized there are areas of it the police are terrified to enter. Of course, the mayor, Cameron, the MET etc have come out condemning his statements about London as nonsense.

[Seabag]

He's making my other favourite slightly left of left field person seem tame by comparison, which is going some

Tyson Fury Gypsy Warrior and heavyweight boxing champion of the world, is only up for BBC Sports Personality of the year.

And he doesn't even want it, though he qualifies by his achievement

Whereas Trump is proving to be a more deluded loon by the day and growing in popularity

😳

[GSJ57]

Agree with Londonmix - I'm currently living in the US, South Carolina no less, not far from where he was speaking last night. Not one person I know (Republicans included) can stand this man. He gets exactly what he want - a lot of press for saying outlandish and reprehensible things.

He makes my stomach turn.

[Otta]

My American cousins all think he's a joke, and yet the place is so huge anything can happen.

[Otta]

And yet part of me is desperate to see him president and Corbyn PM at the same time. Comedy gold surely.

[Jah Lush]

Trump isn't funny. This ain't no joke. I can't see any punchlines in it for anyone.

[Louisa]

Trump represents a narrowing wing of the Republican Party, mostly white and older which is afraid of a changing America, scared of Christian values being lost, and fearful of constitutional amendments to repeal the right to gun ownership. If he is on the Republican ticket I have no doubt this will be the first time that a two term Democratic president has left office, to be replaced by another Democrat president. And is it any wonder when people like him are allowed to represent such a broad church of opinions with this narrow firebrand scaremongering attempt at presidential nomination.

Louisa.

[uncleglen]

The police may not be terrified to enter, but kids from the 'wrong' gang will not enter....

[Jah Lush]

[KidKruger]

And his surname rhymes with Twat.

[Grok]

Cannot stand the vile man but he is right about no go areas eg areas in east london in tower hamlets, walthamstow etc, have heard before.

As he is mega rich he will get what he wants. Be afraid.

Complete and utter bollocks. Try engaging your brain (assuming you have one) next time you post or are you just trying be controversial?

[Grok]

Prove it wrong then? You cant. Try getting out the pub and actually see whats going on. There sre no go areas everywhere, including southwark. There are estates in peckham that police do not patrol and only go there mob handed if called out. But youre gonna call that bollocks too huh? Get out of the pub!

[steveo]

You cant

There's a difference between places where the police will automatically go in large numbers - because they know they'll probably need them - and places where the police are too scared to go in.

You know full well you were trying to suggest that parts of East London are totally off limits to police and white people because they've been turned into completely Islamic areas. Don't make out that you weren't. And all you have to back this up is "have heard before". Not a compelling argument I would suggest.

Segregation is a problem in London, but the police aren't scared to go anywhere; they just make sure they have the resources they feel they need. Donald Trump is talking shite, and you aren't that far behind.

[Otta]

Reason police don't patrol a lot of places is because there aren't enough of them, not because they're scared.

I work in East London, and can confirm that Grok is indeed talking shit.

[Grok]

Youre the only one mentioning colour here. If you can read you will see im saying there are no go zones and it includes east london as elsewhere and police do not routinely go there as therevwould be a riotvevery night of thevweek. That imo is a no go zone. Under cover of the no go zones, as you gather nefarious activities carry on unabated previsely because the police do not go there on a regular patrol basis.and it includes all criminality such as those that would engage in extremist activities.

This fact maybe unpallatable to you but so what. Do you really think that you live in a law abiding society with bobbys on every corner stopping every game of knock down ginger before it starts?Did you think it was pure chance and coincidence that hoardes of scummy yoof and gangs appeared out of thin air to roam the streets of london in2011 holding the capital to ransom. No, they had been doingbthis on a regular basis but in smaller doses in such no go areas. The same applys to the criminals that were out on their mopeds etc on halloween, where do you think they pracrice, keep the bikes etc.

And yes, have heard it before, know all types of people and know london. I do not live in an ED village bubble.

[Seabag]

I don't know why but Croks posts always read in a Scandinavian accent in my head

Scandinavian and nonsense on this one

[Blah Blah]

You are talking utter nonsense Grok. Name me one place specifically that would lead to a riot if Police go there, go on, just one. And I can't think of any area in Peckham that is a no go zone either. Police on the beat have been replaced by Community Wardens. You will see them everywhere in Peckham. And before this government cut funding, safer neighbourhood Police teams could regularly be seen on estates. They were in fact, a very successful form of beat policing.
