Whatever one's views on Obama are, at least he is responsible for ensuring that around 20 to 30 million Americans now have access to state funded medical care, something that Trump and some Republicans want to deny them. I am sure that he also contributed other things, too. |

And of course should they wish to they can impeach a President or find other ways to persuade them to vacate their position. Nixon for example. That they don't do so very often may be because it would be very visible raking over a probably widespread pit of political and personal skeletons. Here we allow people to avoid all of that in terms of passing power from one PM to another appointment without be asked to vote on a PM/Vice PM Team in the first place. And none of them have to really do anything about the list of objectives on a manifesto. At least in the States the election process seems to mean getting people to provide campaign cash in return for promised favours. If the favours happen to be policy related there is a good chance that some sort of action related to the policy will be undertaken. Especially if a second term may be in the offing. |

Not really since most are sensible enough to vote for the things they need. Having voted they have no further influence on matters. Cash for favours suggests and ongoing relationship.

Not suggesting that for one moment, Peter, and agree that's why Trump got in, but, for me he is even worse. Hey ho.

John, I do not necessarily consider Donald Trump a nice man or even a good President, but he is preferable to the alternatives. Obama, on national UK TV openly threatened the UK with disaster if they dared to vote to Leave the EU. For that alone I would gladly spit in his eye, and then blacken it, as for Hilary Clinton the very sight of her on TV turned my stomach, a shining example of a Grade A hypocrite.
Donald Trump is sexist, racist, Islamophobic, and probably a misogynist! My kind of man. |

The professional politicians all paint them selves as morally incorrupt, and claim to have all of the virtues and none of the vices, the truth being that are venal, in the extreme, and hypocritical to the point of genius. On Brexit I can't wait to 'Crash-out' of the EU without a 'deal'. I look forward to the shortage of food and medicine, the exflux (?) of foreigners, the inability to leave these shores because no one wants us. I await the time when I can't buy an Audi, BMW or Mercedes, with happy heart. The idea of a hard border with Ireland brings delight, The downside is that Gordon, John, Tel, etc will have to come back to the UK, maybe we should 'Remain' after all. |

I watched the BBC news with interest last night because they majored on the plight of the refineries who suggest, probably correctly, that the offer of tariff free imports of "petrol" I assume they mean "refined product" will impact the UK refineries because when they export to the EU, they will suffer a 5% tariff.
As a contractor in the Energy industry, I and those like me have seen their rates squeezed by the energy companies (some more than others) for various reasons but mostly to get more for less out of us. So, I think I can be forgiven for thinking that this is possibly a bit of yang coming back to these money grabbers. The other point may be that instead of trying to export to the EU, where there are less fuel duties but higher rates for the product, they could concentrate on selling into the UK market, thereby reducing the need for imports. Of course there's not so much profit to be made in the UK market. |

As for Gordon, Tel, John (which John is that) and Dave don't feel sorry for them as they'll be well placed to stay where they are and there were plenty of Brits living in Europe long before we were part of the EU and EEC. As far as not buying German cars, at least the outside lanes of motorways will be empty once they aren't imported any more. |

Indeed if it wasn't for Brexit this wouldn't be happening. But don't press the panic but................. oh too late.
There have been many periods of warmth over the Arctic over the past few hundred years. It may be warmer than previous but don't forget navigators in old sailing boats used to travel through the "summer months" over the top of the world. |

Peter I've got your solar powered boat ready.
ISTR some years ago the Daily Mail ran an article about the earth facing a new Ice Age. Actually that must be just at the time I started working so 40 odd years back , Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |
