Hopefully you helped yourself to the collection box as your reward.
Que? I thought I moved in mysterious ways! Not sure what you are driving at. I will continue the Douglas Adams vibe and suggest that you are, arguably, an SEP.
Just because you don't take an interest in politics doesn't mean that politics won't take an interest in you. PERICLES.

Rubbish. The excellent Toby Keith to name but one.

Lost no time in making his presence felt, starting to dismantle Obamacare, sacking all US ambassadors without naming replacements and calling for removal of climate protection plan.

The flak will fly but the countries involved have proven terrorist groups in their midst and the first duty of Government is to protect its citizens.

[QUOTE="howard mcsweeney1"]Even his fellow Republicans are growing concerned over his antics, this latest move could make the US a pariah in the international community.
Really?
A bit like saying Real Madrid will become a pariah in the footballing world.
Most people will judge Trump in 4 years time based on what he's done, not what bleeding heart Human Rights groups say he might/could/possibly will do. Let's not forget he was elected on a ticket to tackle immigration, he won't care what overseas liberals think.

A weekly list of crime committed by immigrants? Surely we have much the same with the Rotherham Advertiser?

So Mrs May is going to have a quiet word in Trump's shell-like regarding the rights and wrongs of torture. No doubt on her way over to the States she'll do a quick detour and have the same conversation with our bessie mates in Saudi Arabia? ( probably not! )
We all know that torture is a terrible inhumane thing that shouldn't happen, that goes without saying, but sometimes in the real world we need to fight fire with fire as unpleasant as it is. If the choice is between upsetting some rag-head and the liberal lefties or possibly avoiding a major terrorist incident against innocent people then I know which option I would prefer.
Who knows when the next 9/11 is around the corner, this is not a game, especially when dealing with people who have a track record of inhumanity second to none.
One day it may well boil down to a choice between us and them, personally I'd rather it was them!

I also put "us" ahead of "them", I might feel differently if "them" cared one iota about "us".
That does not mean I think there are many of "them" around but those that are tend to be very, very dangerous to the free world.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Occasional UKIP leader Nigel Farage has vowed to ‘Scratch that bitch’s eyes out’ after news coverage of Prime Minister Theresa May’s stateside visit featured her holding hands with his boo, US President Donald Trump.
“Oh, that slag is going to get hers,” spat Farage in a seething, vicious outburst containing little of his trademark bonhomie.
“I mean, I’m not even jealous or anything… but everyone knows that I had him first and, if you’re listening, Don-Don, I can tell you that I would happily shake more than just your hand next time!
“But if you want to play with HER instead, then, whatever, I’m not bothered.
“That bitch should watch her back. Our transatlantic relationship was special enough before you turned up, darling.”
Mr Farage was then seen crying and running away, towards his shed.
Despite claiming that jealousy was not behind his threats to blind May, rumours that the Green-eyed monster had possessed the arch-Brexiter have been circulating ever since confirmation that the prime minister would be the first world leader to meet with Trump.
“Nigel’s not had it easy,” admitted one close associate.
“He keeps dropping hints about what REALLY went on in Trump Tower and waiting for the rain so he can stare at that picture of Trump and him embracing while listening to ‘Drive’ by the Cars.
“Poor, sad, git.”
It is believed that UKIP insiders are considering bringing his next relief leadership stint forward, in order to take his mind off the bizarre love triangle.
