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.

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
