You say that, but in one of the recent votes (I forget which) he actually attracted a high number of republican voting latinos. Basically a lot of the older generation who are settled and established in the US actually don't want more and more coming in.

Kasich isn't bad. Rubio is definitely very hard core right-wing. Cruz is horrible and Donald Trump is the most dangerous.

Yes, not condemning the KKK on Sunday was a new low. The things is, I don't even know if he really has any sympathy for white supremacists or if he is simply willing to pander to anyone to get elected.


I have no idea who he really is besides someone willing to do and say anything for power which I find the most dangerous thing of all.

200m inheritance is not to be sniffed at though.


Obviously I'm not American so don't know all the nuances of the American elctoral system but am inclined to agree LondonM that Trump strikes me too as someone who would ignore protcol and rules. He's basically a bully. The White House is no place for him.

Its a large inheritance and his claims that his is a billionaire could very well be false. A large part of his estimated wealth is his own estimate of the value of his Trump brand which he license out to be used for a fee. He has lost lawsuits against people who have claimed that his wealth is in the millions rather than billions.

As a person of Asian heritage I find this man offensive and frightening, I'm shocked that in 2016 he is getting any supporters, he appears to be tapping into and leaching the increasing fears of the American public and using it to exacerbate the division of views


In my view there is no place for an individual with those view in modern society

London Mix - on the UK betting markets Clinton is now 1/2 on for the Presidency, Trump 2/1 and Sanders 12/1...the latter 's odds demonstrates just how deluded the liberal 'intelligensia' of Social Media are if my news feed is anything to go by. I am going to lump on a reasonable sum on Clinton.

No it's not a fun spectator sport, it's a terrifying thought, globally.

    • I get that bit - it's the "we all win"  bit I didn't understand if I look at world, countries I most subscribe to are the ones where taxes are raised significantly, the economy continues to thrive and the rewards lead to a fairer economic outcome - including countries where actual pension income is a lot more  https://www.almondfinancial.co.uk/pension-breakeven-index-how-does-the-uk-state-pension-compare-to-the-rest-of-europe/   but a decent social fund requires chancellor "winning"  
    • Pretty sure it’s the same everywhere in Southwark in that the area around a marked cycle parking bay is geofenced - presumably to encourage riders to use the bays.     
    • They are very funny at the Herne Hill Oxfam, for a charity book shop, about accepting book donations. Last time I tried to drop off a few bags the woman there was quite cross so I took them right back out, and I will not go back again. Definitely had this very same conversation on this forum before, including about the parking. That time I drove them over to a different charity bookshop in Streatham where - shock horror - they thanked me. And since then I've taken other books in smaller quantities to local charity shops.
    • I read a lady died outside block of flats on Pytchley road, article did not say how.
