Re: 'Stupid Trump'
To be sure Ivan and here was me thinking ye were one of them Russki fellars who are or were white or red. One of my Great Uncles on my mothers side was a watch maker in Cork, may of been him that wrote that letter of condolence during the Great war. If yer Oirish come inta the parlour theres a welcome there for you. Obama didn't like the British because he sez he was born in Honolulu and the Hawaiin Islands have the Union Jack incorporated into their national flag. And Churchill was a better statesman than him wos why he shifted Churchills bust out of sight in the White House. He left there without paying the rent as well Cheers JS

Re: 'Stupid Trump'
I worked for a company called Nomis, now not many people know this, but they got the name by dropping the Simple and reversing Simon. If you reverse Ivan it is Navi , are you a Russian naval spy.?? and was it you who shot James Bond when he was masquerading as Shaun Connery another good old Irish name who claimed he was a Scotsman.

ODD.
Ireland calls to cancel White House trip
We respect the US political system and value our historic connections but we cannot in all honesty hand over that bowl of shamrock in these circumstances.
Asked was: Ought the St. Patrick's Day trip to the White House be cancelled.

Re: 'Stupid Trump'
As I have said, why all the furore over Trumps executive order banning all immigration from certain countries and also restricting travel for certain people from those countries.
The 7 listed by Trump were already on Obama's watch list so Trump is just enforcing what Obama thought.
Here in the U.K. there is now a petition to stop Trump being accorded a state visit, which just goes to show there are over 1 million stupid and ignorant people living here. Did they protest in such numbers when China's leader was accorded a State Visit recently ? No, neither when an African dictator was given a State visit.
This Liberal left movement is destroying the U.K. with its views on immigration and so called social integration. We are rapidly approaching the point here in the U.K. where if you pose the question "does your allegiance lie to Queen and Country " the answer for an almost majority would be NO. Their allegiance lies to a higher authority, a Prophet whose teachings can be so interpreted in so many ways that slaughter of innocents, stoning of women etc. etc. can be (in their eyes) justifiable.
One quite sensible commentator on the Sky News this morning said that there is a growing feeling (unsaid) by many quarters in the USA that Europe as a whole is loosing its Christian identity and history and slowly being turned into new Ottoman type area where that prophets religion reigns supreme, a ideal that goes against all that America stands for.
Trumps orders regarding immigration only stand for around 90 days and the so called mayhem quoted as happening at USA Airports has not resulted in tens of thousands of traveller's being denied entry into the USA, to date I think its something like 150 have been refused entry and sent back from where they came from.
That same commentator I referred to also made the very valid point that as he had recently holidayed inn Israel he would be banned from entry into a large swath of countries where a certain faith rules, something that many of us understand when sailing as you never put an Israeli port as your last port on any ships documentation if trading to areas of the world where again that faith ruled.
So although the Donald's language may be inflammatory to the liberal lefties, his thinking behind his actions is not too off centre so I say GO DONALD.

Re: 'Stupid Trump'
When I was on the EGYPTIAN in 1953 we called at Haifa and Tel Aviv then went to Alexandra, EGYPT, They refused us entry so we had to go to Cyprus instead,
Same Difference I guess.

Re: 'Stupid Trump'
in answer to j.sabourn
you are correct in your opinion and the liberal left are responsible for this constant attack on our society to try and change it into a left wing liberal utopia run for the intelligentsia making all the rules such as apologise to everything they deem to be wrong and against their thinking. this is why we now have same sex marriage monkeys elevated to being citizens and on and on to such an extent that todays violent marches against trump and in our case brexit are because the left wing liberals whom have run the world since after the second world war are loosing the backing of the so called working class whom they and the right leaning politicals have neglected both here Europe and America,
but even as the left wing is slowed down by obviously the brexit vote and trump election plus the elections across Europe this year,
we now find that as you have stated that the lost generation ie the asylum immigrant whatever you may call them are marching across from Africa and the middle east for us in the west to feed and keep in the manner they wish to be kept and they are achieving this by using the one billion pounds per month donated by this country in cash aid to the very same asylum immigrant and they are applauded on arrival here and Europe by the left wing liberal elitists whom need cheap labour to run their households and factories, and I also believe that trump has been given his mandate from the electorate and he should fight his corner because the left wing liberal elite are more dangerouse than the ******s
